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.

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!

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday…

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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
