NE1 else taking Tylenol PM to sleep??
Anyone consistently taking Tylenol PM to sleep at night during the last few weeks of PG? I can't sleep, I went into labor with my 1st in the middle of the night. So, now I keep thinking the same thing will happen and I stay awake. I found that Tylenol PM helps me get at least a few hours of rest. But, now I worry I'll be so out of it if really labor does start. If you take this do you worry about being sleepy if you were to go into labor??

She isn't worried about not knowing she's in labor. She's worried she'll be drugged out and sleepy from the Tylenol while in labor.
OP, I'd be worried about the same thing, but I'm sure once you are really in labor, adrenaline will kick in and you'll be alert.
Yeah, I take one and it puts me to sleep but if I get startled awake I'm up for the day usually, even if it's only been a couple of hours.
If I'm a lil groggy and out of it for the first few hours of labor, that's fine by me.

Yes ma'am! Tylenol PM, Benedryl and Unisom are my buddies. Sadly, I think I've become immune to them at this point.
I only recently started taking Tylenol PM. I've been lucky and haven't had any real pain up until this point. So depending on what symptoms I was having, I'd take the appropriate drug with the sleepy side effect.
I knew exactly what she meant. TRUST me you will know and you will be awake and up.
Tylenol PM has benadryl in it (look at the active ingredients).
