A member asked:

Still have trouble sleeping. is 15 mg way too much ambien (zolpidem) at 20 weeks pregnant? i'm taking one and its not helping. should i take another half of one?

See OB about meds: Sleep can be more difficult during pregnancy. Be safe and talk to your OB before taking any medication. Some things you can try are meditaion, have your partner give you a massage, take a bath before bed to help you relax. Good luck.
