Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 My doctor has me take tylenol PM. I don't usually sleep through the night no matter what. I sleep a few hours then I am usually awake from midnite til about 3 or 4 in the morning before I go back to sleep. But that is also why I took early maternity leave so I don't have to worry about getting up at a certain time. Hope it helps for you. OTC sleep aids Hello, Has anyone been told of any over the counter sleep aids that are safe during pregnancy? I am having an awful time sleeping. I think that in the last 5 days, I have probably gotten about 5 hours of sleep total. This is driving me absolutely crazy and not helping with the grouchiness and everything else. Just wondering if anyone knows of anything at all that might help. I think that I'm exhausted, but I get in bed and I just toss and turn for hours until I finally get up. I have tried all kinds of home remedies and nothing seems to work for me. Thanks in advance for any help! Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 ask your Dr if it is safe for you to take Melatonin. My 9yr old and I both take it. You can buy it at Walmart (90 pills for under $4.00). But be certain it is safe for pregnant women to use first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 you need to talk to your doc before hand, but mine told me to take 25-50mg of benedryl at night to help me sleep.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hi Dee, I've been having a horrible time sleeping as well and my doc told me that benadryl is perfectly safe during pregnancy. Due to the malabsortptive condition our surgery creates(DS/BPS) he recommended I take 75 milligrams and it works very well for me. Hope this helps, I know how horrible it feels to be tired all day ) ~Amy in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
