Is Melatonin safe during first trimester?

Question

I am finding even this early on it seems hard to stay asleep, feel restless, or my RLS is on overdrive. 
I want to try melatonin for better rest, how many of you ladies recommend using or not using this?
Is it safe? I googled it but I would prefer the opinion of my Glow Community.

Answer

I was told not to take it because it can mess with your hormones. That said, I took about 1.5 mg every night or so for the first like 9 weeks before I knew it was bad and my baby is perfect and healthy. So don’t freak out if you’ve already done it.

Answer

Talk to your OB first but I’m def taking the gummies olly that has melatonin and chamomile in it. And baby is fine n growing. Just don’t take it every night I know they don’t recommend that.

Answer

I take unisom for sleep and it helped with nausea too

My OB actually let me start taking a 1mg dosage of Melatonin, but only every 4-5 days.

Answer

my ob said it was for me. You should check with your HCP.

Answer

I haven't taken any yet. :/ I am going to wait to ask at my appointment on the 26th.

Answer

Thank you ladies!
I see my OB on the 26th. I think I'll just wait to see if it's good for me to take.
