Is melatonin safe in mid pregnancy?

Question

Having a hard time sleeping. I was thinking about taking a toddler dose (1 mg) melatonin to help me sleep. Anyone know for sure? Don’t answer unless you have had this conversation with your doctor. I don’t need the “don’t eat ramen noodle people commenting” sorry. Lol

Answer

I was told no. My dr said I could take unisom. Not as potent as melatonin but still helped me.

Answer

My doctor told me no to melatonin. He advised I take Benadryl if I needed something.

Answer

Inwas told 4mg or less is fine, but they prefer unisom or benedryl

Answer

It's considered safe short term, but there is not enough data to determine safety with long term use. Another option would be Unisom (active ingredient: doxylamine)

Answer

I might be the odd one but my doctor said yes melatonin is safe if taken 3 mg or less since it’s a natural supplement - unlike other sleep aids - but if you’re unsure just see what your doctor says! I’ve taken it off & on my whole pregnancy

Answer

My doctor also told me no to melatonin, but if I do NEED something, benadryl is safe.

Answer

I can’t imagine why not. It is the safest way to rest. Your body already produces melatonin, so supplements only kick start it. A small dose should be fine, but you may want to check with your ob.

Answer

Yes you can take it. It is safe.

Answer

My doctor told me I could take benedryl to help. I personally take cbd
