2ww and Benadryl

[Anonymous]

I know Benadryl is a category B drug and is generally considered safe during pregnancy. I took some in the third trimester of my first pregnancy and had no problems. However, I am currently TTC and am having major sleep problems because of a combo of personal and professional stress. Is it okay to take Benadryl regularly as a sleep aid during 2WW and first trimester? My RE says it should be fine if I really need it, but I wonder if taking it every night is a huge mistake. I just desperately need sleep right now.

Anyone else doing/done this?

i usually take tylenol pm every night w/ a glass of wine to help me sleep, but i always stop during the 2ww. i didn't ask my RE or my ob/gyn about it though, i just wanted to get out of the habit. i actually found that i slept well, i don't know if it was b/c of all of the horomones i was taking, and stopping all caffeine, or what but have been sleeping fine.
