Do you take Melatonin for sleep during pregnancy?

Question

I've been having issues sleeping without being interrupted and waking up  (currently 28 weeks) and have seen a few ladies suggesting melatonin sleep pills. Do you any of you ladies take it during pregnancy, and does it work? I also work full-time, so a full/decent nights rest is so important. 😔

Answer

My doc said not to take melatonin in pregnancy. However, unisom is safe! I take half a tab to one tab every now and then to help fall asleep when I have insomnia. But it only helps me fall asleep. I still wake up 2-3 times a night to pee!

Answer

I am the same way, occasionally I take a unisom but we recently visited my parents and I'm 26 weeks and we slept on their temperapedic mattress and for five nights straight I didn't wake up once! Not even to pee! I was shocked! And now I'm shopping for a new mattress. Haha.

Answer

My Dr. said no melatonin, but I could take Tylenol PM.

Answer

My doctor said melatonin is fine. I used to take ambien every night but can't now and have switched to melatonin

Answer

Unisom works but only for a few days your body gets used to it so spread it out or your body will adjust quickly

Answer

My doctor told me to take it, but I'm not to crazy about another pill given I'm taking the prenatal and extra iron 😔

Answer

My midwife told me not to, but I would love to be able to sleep too. Something about my body is producing enough excess hormones and such that I didnt need to add too many extra supplements.
