Mt Dr. told me  NOT to take melatonin. Just take regular benadryl to help sleep.

I haven't taken anything yet. I was just trying to get some ideas. I don't see the doctor until Friday but the lack of sleep is getting to me. I've hardly taken any medicine during my pregnancy so far besides Tylenol a few times just scared of the side effects. Ftm

Benadryl I heard is safe.

I would tell my doc what it is or take the bottle n show him. Because alot of natural medicine is not really natural. In order to claim natural they only have to meet a certain percentage of natural ingredients n the rest u don't know what they r

Okay. Thank you ladies!

Melatonin is not safe during pregnancy due to hormonal issues. It can cause developmental disorders.

I've always been told Tylenol PM by my doctor. It isn't natural, but it seems to work and helps keep away some of those small aches you can get while you sleep

Melatonin is safe to take throughout pregnancy, just not super high doses. 5mg is fine. Tylenol PM is safe too. It's just tylenol and benedryl. So you could just take the benedryl too.
