Has anyone taken it during their pregnancy?

Never during my pregnancy. They did give it to me the night before I went into labor, which is a whole other story.

It can be prescribed in pregnancy but most take plain Unisom in the 1st trimester.

My doctor said I could take it, but I was wondering if other doctors said it wasn't ok. I want a few opinions before making my decision

Unisom doesn't work for me at all and I'm not sleeping. I'm getting depressed and just generally feel miserable.

They gave it to me the night I was induced and I slept good for about an hour until I woke up and don't remember anything that happened. My fiance did get a video of it though. I was trying to get through a field of tall flowers, seeing space monkeys. Good times..

Haha! I had some crazy experiences, but I've been taking it for so long now that it doesn't do that to me anymore.

I would love to hear the rest of this story! They gave it to me, too, when I'd been at the hospital thinking I was in labor and was not progressing. I spent the entire night having hallucinations. SO scary!

I get restless legs and bad leg cramps during pregnancy, so I took it my last 2 pregnancies a few times per week during the 2nd & third trimester. My doc doesn't prescribe it for 1st trimester. I generally try to avoid any meds 1st tri except nausea meds
