I am in my last month of pregnancy and going nuts I know this is the time where sleep is the most important to have because of the upcoming labor and that I need my rest for the big day. I cant get comfortable and can't fall asleep right away I can get into bed by 10 or 11 but don't get to sleep untill 1 or 2. Nothing major is on my mind that you would't expect out of a first time mother. But I also have insomma and use to take lunesta and had to go off it when I got pregnant so its been hard then it got better but now its hard again.
I am about ready to go nuts 6 to 7 hours of sleep with the interruptions of peeing every hour or two or my son kicking me or my sciatica acting up Im good if i get 5 hours a night. I cant contune to do this I'm pushing myself through the day at work is tylenol sleep aid ok at this time just so that I'm well rested for that big day.

( jdtal7570) just to let you know I was prescribed antihistimine(benadryl) in the beging for my allergies and to try and help me sleep its listed as a type a or b its safe. how ever it didnt work what so ever.

Practically every over the counter sleep aid has the same active ingredient which is the same as Benadril. If that's helpful it's only for a short time after which it often causes a reverse effect the
best thing that I have found is Melatonin. It comes in 1 or 3mg doses.

Oh, hang in there -- the last month is rough with the sleeplessness and unfortunately, there isn't any quick fix for it. I would not take Tylenol PM -- very weird medication that makes you feel like you have a hangover -- can't be good for your baby. Try camomile tea or some warm milk -- won't work miracles but maybe you can get a little more rest. You also might try to sleep in a big easy chair if you have one -- sometimes that is much easier than trying to get comfortable lying down.
I wish you all the best -- when your precious baby arrives all this will be worth it a thousand times over!
God bless.

no...tylenol sleep aids contain a antihistimine(benadryl) which is what causes the drowsiness. Pregnant women are not supposed to take antihistimine. If would talk to your doctor about the problem,

Ask your doctor.
You don't have to pay for a visit.
Just give them a call & leave a message w/the nurse.
