Melatonin-freaking out

KMT to JWH · July 2015

I'm 5 wks 4 days and this is my third pregnancy. I never used melatonin with my first two. I took some last night without thinking (very low dose). Has anyone else used melatonin with previous pregnancies and everything was fine?

It's fine (personal opinion). Of course check with your OB if you plan to continue but one dose, I would not freak out. But I also subscribe to the idea that common sense goes along way when wading through those ridiculously long lists of don'ts while pregnant (which i followed to a T with LO #1).
I eat hotdogs and still touch-up my roots ... Oh and I ate a roast beef sandwich a few days ago b/c I forgot the no lunch meat recommendation. Lol

I'm sure it's fine, especially if you only used it once. I agree @browneyes_326, just check with your doctor if you want to continue taking it. And @browneyes_326, I eat hot dogs, too! Not a lot, but just because I have to be in the mood. I ate half of a Schlotzsky's sandwich that my mom left at my house the other day, too. I heated it up, but I still felt guilty! When I really want a sandwich I cook a turkey breast, roast or a ham and carve that meat up, then use it for sandwiches.

Mmmm now I want a hotdog!

Ok on the subject, I started thinking a I think my OB suggested melatonin when I was having sleep issues.
Let us know what your Dr says!
