I have never posted before but I am in dire need of some advice. I have been taking meds for over a year to help me sleep at night. As soon as I found out I was expecting I stopped taking my sleep meds, my Dr isn't to happy about it but I'm just not comfortable taking a medication that is considered a "tranquilizer". I can't sleep much anymore and I know it's not good or healthy. Does anyone have advice on what I can do or take to help me sleep at night?

Diphenhydramine (benadryl) is the safest. It's the "pm" portion of tylenol pm... without the tylenol. I'd avoid tylenol pm unless you also need the acetaminophen (Tylenol portion) for pain relief. Diphenhydramine is listed as a category B drug by the FDA and accepted as generally safe to consume during pregnancy. As for melatonin or any other natural supplement... I'd avoid them. Since they are supplements, they have not been studied by the FDA for safety risks. While your body makes melatonin naturally, the risks posed when supplementing natural melatonin by taking them as supplements has not been determined. I worked as a researcher for the FDA for 3 years so hope this info helps.
thank you @chocohunnybees and @tekaellis
I definitely heard about Tylenol pm as well because I was having the same problem only thing is I use the bathroom a lot at night so tht was my concern about taking something too help me sleep wen I go too the bathroom a lot uuugh..

I get that way now but even being so tired I can finally pass out but can't stay asleep, broken sleep is so much worse for me than just a few good hours @mom13
sometimes u will b so tired u wont need anything to help you
or ask about unisom! my doctor told me to take the B6 vitamin and unisom for my constant sickness, which actually worked. but unisom is a sleep aid so I slept like a rock!
thank you ladies @skmamaof3 @marskhaos @mom13 @rhonda.otero , I will try anything. I really don't want to get behind on sleep right now cause I know once I start getting bigger sleep will be an issue.
Melatonin is the only thing that gets my husband with PTSD not to have night terrors and to fall asleep
Calms Forte. It's homeopathic and it was suggested by my midwife. It works!
Ask about melatonin it's a natural sleep aid
I was wondering about Tylenol pm thank you @rhonda.otero
I take Tylenol pm and it definitely helps
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I need help!!! Something is wrong with my dog and I have no money or job to take him to the vet. I think hes dying idk
Well I was prescribed a small dose of Xanax and Paxil for my anxiety. I don’t even want to take meds unless I know it will help me 😩 does anyone take these and does it help??
