Ways to stay asleep?

I don't know why my body won't let me have these last few days of sleeping in but I keep waking up and it's quite agitating especially when I am only asleep for 3 to 4 hours at most, and then I can't go back to sleep. What do you do to help yourself sleep? I am just wanting to make sure my body is rested for when I go into labor and that way I won't be exhausted to badly. I guess it's just preparing for LO  

tylenol pm

Quoting aiden&jared'smommy:" tylenol pm"

How long does it usually keep you asleep? And it's not dangerous to take just for sleep right??

chamomille tea,

benedryl lol

Melatonin.. I was the same way towards the end of my pregnancy with my son. They gave me ambien but after one night of sleep walking while pregnant I never took that again!

Is that prescribed??

You are not supposed to take PM products while pregnant. I would just call your OB and ask if there is anything you can take.

I may be having him Wednesday if that's the induction day he chooses, so I guess I will just take a Benadryl or something that the doctor says is ok the night before my apt and try to rest as much as I can.

most pm products are diphenhydramine, which is benedryl, and thats totally safe while pregnant and breastfeeding..

I am just going off of what my OB told me and PM products were not on his approved list. I say better safe than sorry, but that is just me.

benedryl/diphenhydramine is a category B drug... so its safe...

My doc said anything tylenol is ok

My Dr. Told me that it was safe to take Tylenol pm to help me sleep.

With my first preg I took Tylenol pm by drs orders. With my second I only took sleep aid the last night of my preg cause my nurse wanted me well rested. They gave me ambien. I guess it's pretty common where I was hospitalized cause they asked me almost every night if I needed one.

unisom and benadryll are both safe during pregnancy
