Is it okay to use melatonin?

Question

I'm 35 weeks and I want to take one of my melatonin vitamins to help me sleep tonight. It's too late to call my doctor but the bottle says not to take while pregnant. They're the nature made gummy melatonin vitamins. Thanks

Answer

Never take medical advice from people on here. Call your OB or local hospital to be safe. 😊

Answer

I believe the recommendation is to not take it.  Over the counter sleep aids are ok tho. Diphenhydramine I believe

Answer

Btw the tests that showed possible complications were of insanely high doses of melatonin. Not something you'd take. But technically, no, melatonin is not advised (wanted to be a bit more clear than my last post:) )

Answer

I've heard that melatonin is a hormone and not recommended to take during pregnancy.  I'd ask your provider though.

Answer

I asked my OB and she said yes.

Answer

Tylenol PM is okay to take!
