Can pregnant women take melatonin?
"A typical dose of melatonin elevates blood melatonin levels up to 20 times normal. How this natural supplement affects our production and melatonin release patterns and how this then affects pregnancy, fetal growth and the fetus’ awake and sleep patterns are all currently being studied." "If a patient has been taking it as a supplement before pregnancy for a sustained period, then I allow them to remain on their current dose or continue at the lowest effective dose," Bamafsheh adds."Sleep is key for health, and if a supplement is needed, I prefer to start with magnesium, which has been shown to improve subjective and objective measures of insomnia," Banafsheh says. "It also increases serum melatonin concentration produced naturally by our pineal gland.
The placenta also produces melatonin, but that's a natural and normal source throughout pregnancy and can even act as an antioxidant. If you develop a sleep disorder, your doctor might offer a continuous positive airway pressure device for Obstructive Sleep Apnea or antacids for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder. If restless legs are an issue, your doctor may prescribe some supplements.
