QUESTION MOMMIES**** ftm here I was wondering if I can take melatonin to help me sleep? or if you…

My Dr said Unisom is okay to take, there's some stuff in Melatonin that isn't good for baby I was told

Ok I've looked it up and I know our body produces it naturally, but then again taking more than our body produces could be what they find unsafe about it.. thank you though, @mrscolon did you try unisom? did it work?

melatonin is fine. it's 100% pure melatonin which your body produces naturally. (it's also in Turkey that why you get sleepy after eating turkey on thanksgiving lol)

the only risk with taking melatonin is you can become dependant on it. it's almost like breast feeding if you take melatonin your body could slow down producing it's own melatonin so if you don't take it you won't have any in your body so you won't be tired.

I took it the last 2 months of my 1st pregnancy but I only took half a tablet each night then stopped when the baby came cause it knocked me out harder than any sleeping pill so I didn't wanna sleep through the baby crying.

@wrd2016, thats exactly what my Dr told me, Melatonin could be unsafe because of that.. But yes I've taken Unisom & it definitely worked for me, I have the worst case of insomnia known possible lol & I'm taking unisom, it helps & it's safe for baby

my Dr took me off my melatonin as they are not sure what it could do to baby and it might do harm but if you like tea try this it's good and safe for you and baby it will help you relax and sleep a little better

I've taken Unisom and Benadryl when my allergies are acting up and both helped me sleep a little. I took melatonin before I was pregnant and my doctor told me to stop

thank you ladies
