Sleeping meds and pregnancy

Caroline

So, prior to my pregnancy, I met with genetic counselors and pre-family planning counselors and they reviewed the meds I take for sleep and deemed them safe for pregnancy, so I thought I’d be okay. However, at my first checkup (I’m 6w4d), my doctor asked me to stop if at all possible. Obviously I want my baby to be healthy and am going to do my best, but I’m an insomniac and FINALLY have found something that works okay for me, so it’s very disheartening to hear.

Anyone else have a similar dilemma? Or have been through this before?
