Anyone take melatonin in pregnancy?

Question

I was advised against it, but I took it regularly before I got pregnant and I'm starting to have trouble sleeping.

Answer

I take it. I was told it's comepletely safe..

Answer

Since it's on the don't take list and diphenhydramine (regular, OTC sleeping pills) are totally safe, why not just take the option that's been okayed

Answer

My doc told me no melatonin but told me to take unisom.   It's working wonder plus unisom and vitamin b6 help with nausea

Answer

I've debated taking it so many times, I work shift work and have such a hard time sleeping through the days since being pregnant. I've never asked my doctor about it though, I've heard mixed reviews, so far I've just toughed it out, but I often wonder what's worse for the baby, the extra stress and hormone secretions from being absolutely exhausted and up all night or melatonin...

Answer

No. The amount of melatonin in the pills is quite a bit more than your body makes naturally which is why it's not advised to take it while pregnant. It says it right on the bottle not to take while pregnant
