is a doctor or you just know from personal experiance please let me know I am desperate for some sleep.

Dear flcl6969,
Never take anything you have not checked out with your doctor first...nothing. The fetas absorbs everything you ingest. There are plenty of things you can do naturally such as avoid taking day naps, listen to soft music before bed, read etc.
Sue...good luck

I agree with Sue. Talk to your Doc and they can give you suggestions as to what you can do. Never take anything without talking to them first. Good Luck and God Bless!

yes talk to your doctor first, somethings that you should try is sleeping on your left side this will reduce the stress on your vena cava and allow for more blood flow to the baby and relieve any pressure on the back but tuck some pillows at your back to help keep you in that position. You can also try warm milk, a long warm (not hot) bath, or asking your partner for a massage. Don't have a tv or pets in the bed these can cause sleeping problems as well. If you try these things with no success talk to your doctor about other relief measures or possible prescribing you something. Good Luck

As the other posters have said, you should definitely check with your physician first as every pregnancy is different, but with that said, I've known a couple of women who have swore by it during their pregnancy. As with most things, it's probably fine in moderation, especially if you are past the first trimester.

Give your physician's office a quick call, as there may be concerns with your pregnancy that others may not have had, but I would imagine that he or she will tell you that its fine and is in fact it is a much better alternative to over the counter sleep aids.

I knew about the sleepingon the left side iam 5months pregnant and cant really sleep on my stomach if I had wanted to, the doctor ended up perscribing me with ambien and Burspar.
