I used to take melatonin for sleep before but now im 10 weeks pregnant. My nights are so bad, hardly any neend. Is it ok to continue or should i stop completely?
I also had trouble sleeping, but my doctor advised against melatonin. Instead, she cleared me for light yoga stretching and a slow 15-minute evening walk. That physically tired me out and helped me sleep naturally!
Suno, don't take melatonin or any sleep pill without asking your gynac na. I also had sleepless nights, but my doc said strictly no to such supplements. It's better to try warm milk instead, safe and simple!
I know exactly how frustrating it is to toss and turn all night, it used to give me so much anxiety. But please check with your doctor before taking melatonin, as it's not fully proven to be safe. You are not alone in this, hang in there!
Beta, sleeplessness is very hard but please don't take melatonin on your own. It is always safest to talk to your gynac before taking any new supplement. Your doctor knows what is best for you and your little one, so trust them.
I'm in my 32nd week now and sleep has officially left the chat. But my gynac said a big no to melatonin. So now I just spend my nights reorganizing my baby clothes or watching random reels, haha.
Sleeping during pregnancy is such a task! But please avoid melatonin unless your doctor specifically prescribes it. Try drinking a cup of warm chamomile tea or listening to calm music instead. 😊
I felt so exhausted and desperately wanted some sleep in my third trimester. But when I asked my gynac, she explained that melatonin is a hormone and we shouldn't play around with it. I felt it was better to be safe than sorry and avoided it completely.
Actually, melatonin is a hormone and it crosses the placenta. Since there aren't enough human clinical trials on its safety during pregnancy, most doctors will tell you to avoid it. Try sleeping with a pregnancy pillow and doing light stretches instead.
My MIL told me to stay away from English sleep medicines or supplements. She used to give me warm milk with cardamom before bed. Better to consult your doctor before taking melatonin, ghar ke nuskhe are safer.
Oh god, please don't take it! I read so many articles saying we should avoid hormone supplements like melatonin during these nine months. What if it affects the baby's sleep cycle later? Better to ask your doctor for a safe alternative.
Balancing work and pregnancy fatigue is tough, and bad sleep makes it worse. But honestly, melatonin isn't recommended during pregnancy. Just let your gynac know about your insomnia, they might suggest some safe breathing exercises or simple lifestyle changes.
Honestly, I never took even a single basic tablet without checking with my gynac first. Melatonin is a supplement, so you absolutely must ask your doctor before taking it. Don't risk anything for a little sleep.
I just delivered my baby last month and had terrible insomnia during pregnancy. My doctor strictly told me to avoid melatonin because there isn't enough safety data for the baby. She suggested a warm shower and zero screen time before bed, which actually helped a bit.
Please don't take any over-the-counter sleep supplements. Because of my history, I was terrified of taking anything that isn't absolutely necessary. Always get your doctor's green light before swallowing any pill, even if it says 'natural'.
I had a smooth pregnancy and normal delivery, and I always avoided extra pills. Melatonin safety isn't fully clear for pregnant women, so it's best to skip it. Focus on creating a calm bedtime routine instead.
