Yup Benedryl is pretty much it. When you
get a bit further along talk to your doc
about it. Mine told me that I could take
Ambian 10mg (not CR) but couldn't take it
after 35 weeks. He/she would have to
write you a script for it, and it's pretty
expensive.
Good luck, I'm 35 weeks now and I have not
slept well the whole time. Now that I'm
further along I could sleep better if only
I could find a comfortable position.

nyquil when they are pregnant?

anything when they are prengnant?
i feel so guilty even takeing something my
doctor specifically has said is perfectly
fine, that i obviously need
nyquil is not good during pregnancy it can
harm the baby, please dont take anything
without talking to your doctor first, and
if you dont have a doctor please get one,
and even so, there are sites that have
lists of safe and unsafe things during
pregnancy, so there is no reason for
it....
sorry this just has been pissing me off
lately, ive been feeling crappy and all
ive been taking is sudafed and i still
feel bad for it, but i cant breath because
im so stuffy and im coughing so much im
nearly throwing up, but im too worried
about what a drug could do to my baby to
ven think of taking anything else....ill
stop now...again sorry

as the others have told
you Nyquil should not be taken. ask your
dr what if anything you can take to help
you. if you think it is bad at 11 weeks i
hate to see you at 36 weeks. oh and if the
dr does say you can take something dont
feel bad for taking it. there is no reason
you should feel guilty

I Take Posted: 02-26-07 09:59am
I take tylenol pm when I cant sleep, that
is what my doc told me to take. Benedryl
doesnt make me tired. She said I could
take unisom too, but I dont see how that
is too safe.

thats because tylenol is safe and the pm
part is the same thing as the active
ingredient in benadryl so thats safe too
