I am 33 weeks pregnant and have insomnia really really bad (which I know is nothing out of the ordinary while pregnant). I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and will ask about taking 1/4 of a tylenol pm tablet. I am obviously not just going to start taking this without my OB's consent. What I am wondering...were any of you ladies permitted to take this by your OB?...and if so how much at a time? If its a big no no, then I won't even bother asking about it tomorrow...just curious...thanks

thank you all for the great input. i did talk to my ob about it and she said it was fine. however...i took it last night and it did nothing for me...in fact i was more restless than before...guess i will just forgo the pills for now.

My friend Colie took tylenol PM while pregnant, however I wouold stay away from it if you can
My OBGYN said that the sleep aide unisom is perfectly safe when pregnant. She said that it ihas been studied in pregnant women and benedryl is fine as well.

My OB/GYN said it is safe to take Tylenol PM for sleeplessness.

Drink warm milk 30 minutes before bedtime and avoid all direct sources of light (TV, computer) before bed as this messes with the melatonin levels in your body and makes you stay awake.
