Can't Sleep!

Has anyone taken ambien or ambien cr while pregnant? If yes, how do you like it and does it keep you asleep throughout the night?

Yes I was on ambien for almost 3wks before I went into labor. My Dr said it's perfectly safe,  he wouldn't have prescribed it otherwise. And I don't completely sleep through the night. I would wake up to go to the bathroom and then fall right back asleep. No being up for a cpl hrs in btwn which would happen on tylenol pm and benedryl. I think you'll love it. There's also no hangover feeling the next morn which is great :-)

I have taken simply sleep the same ingredients as benadryl and I will wake up in the middle of the night and be wide awake for a few hours. Also if I dont take anything I only get 2 to 3 hojrs asleep.

my doctor recommended the original benadryl to help you sleep she said if you do take sleeping medicine the placenta will detach and you can lose the baby
