"I am pregnant and having a lot of difficulty sleeping, can I take melatonin or is it not recommended?"

It is not recommended to take melatonin while pregnant due to insufficient data on its safety for pregnant women. Instead, you can try alternative methods such as listening to calming music, avoiding screens before bedtime, avoiding tea/coffee, trying relaxation/breathing/meditation exercises, practicing yoga, and if needed, using Gravol for a few doses. It is advisable to consult with your doctor if you experience insomnia regularly and it affects your daily activities.
