YES :) I was just reading over some material my doctor gave me, and it listed over the counter medicine you can take for several different needs you have, and when a problem sleeping you can take it, other things like Tyleno cold/ flu and many others too...

I got sick over the weekend, and looked at this list, but I still called my OBYGN to make sure I could take it, just to be double safe, lol..

call your dr and ask, maybe even see if they have a list like the one my dr gave me...

Good luck and I hope you sleep better soon!!!

I do not think it is a good idea. the regular Tylenol is OK, but the PM may have something that is harmful to baby in the first trimester. That is the same with nasal congestion meds also.
As for the sleep, I understand. Try and drink some warm herbal tea. or smell something with lavender in it. those can be relaxing. write down a few things that you have to do tomorrow, this will get some of that stuff out of your head. also, you could write in a journal what happened today and then your brain will help you processes it while you sleep. good luck.

Answer 3

I was told that it was okay by my obgyn. Benadryl also, but I prefere the tylenol pm because it has the same thing in it as benadryl except for the decongestant - and if you don't need that, why take it.

Answer 4

If you feel like you really need it, go ahead and take it.

Another thing that might help is strong chamomile tea, or homeopathic camomilla. My midwife recomended I take those, so I know they are safe.

Answer 5

I know that tylenol is ok, but the PM I'm not sure about, I'm sorry

Answer 6

I was told I could take tylenol and that I could take benadryl. Tylenol PM are those two drugs combined.

Answer 7

I was told by my doc that Tylenol PM was okay too.

Get some rest!

Answer 8

i would think it would be ok...but call your local 24 hr pharmacy or emergency room and ask a qualified medical professional just to be sure

Answer 9

No! If it has PM on it it means it has a sedative-like chemical and you shouldn't chance it.
Just relax with soft music and a comfortable atmosphere.

Answer 10

NO

Answer 11

take a bath, listen to soothing music,light some scented candles.,.learn to do this w/out medication ,because you have a long ways to go girl


hope you feel better<3

Answer 12

check on the package if its okay to take while your pregnant. If it does I would ask a doctor first. you shouldnt take something that you dont know if it will hurt your baby.

Answer 13

Im not sure about Tylenol Pm. But my doctor had me take Benadrel (sp wrog sorry.) I always took one and took a bath and it helped a lot. Good luck. Sip on Hot tea also and sometimes I would find one song and ust replay it as I layed in bed. (Nothing that brings up emotions though.) Good luck!!
