Honestly im not sleeping at all these days, raat bhar karwatein badalti rehti hu. Someone at home suggested benadryl but im scared to take anything without asking. Did anyone check with their gynac about this for sleep?
Oh dear, I had terrible morning sickness and couldn't sleep at all. Honestly, please don't take any self-medication like Benadryl without asking your gynac. Try warm milk or a little walking instead, it's safer.
I can't say if it's safe for everyone, but my doctor strictly told me not to take over-the-counter sleep meds. I just had to struggle through sleepless nights with body pillows. Better to ask your own gynac first.
My hospital gave me a safe list of medicines during my first consultation, and Benadryl wasn't on it for sleep. I strongly recommend calling your hospital's helpline or asking your gynac. Don't take anything self-prescribed.
Aree, sleeplessness is very common but taking cough syrups or antihistamines for sleep is not recommended. I always suggest talking to your doctor before popping any pill. Have you tried sleep meditation or a soothing bath?
Sleeping is so tough in these months, same here! My mother-in-law used to give me warm badam milk before bed, and it actually helped thoda. Please don't take medicines like Benadryl directly, MIL will also get worried!
Absolutely do not take Benadryl just for sleep without a green light from your doc [2]. Pregnancy insomnia is brutal but self-medicating is risky. Get a professional opinion on what is safe for u.
When I was staying at my mum's place, she used to gently massage my feet with warm oil when I couldn't sleep. It felt so relaxing and safe. Please talk to your doctor before taking any tablets, beta.
