My doctor said it was ok to use tylenol pm on occasion. I would contact your doctor first though. What they recommend you do and don't do seems to change all the time!!!!

I would talk to your doctor. Just because it is "herbal" doesn't mean it is safe.

Thank you! I will try Benadryl but prefer an herbal remedy? Is Passion flower extract safe while pregnant? Do you know of any other herbs?

My doc said I could use a little benadryl each night if I needed. I got it in the tablet form and used half of one a night. I used it for about 2 months straight. It worked great!

I've heard that you can try something like Benadryl that makes you sleepy, but I would talk to your doctor before trying it. Best thing to do is try drinking warm milk before bed, or taking a warm bath - something calm and relaxing. Sleeping while pregnant is hard, so I know what you are going through! Good luck!

P.S. I'm not sleeping because of anxiety.
