Is it ok to take 15mg of ambien (zolpidem) pregnant?

Avoid if possible: There is not enough info to determine the safety of Ambien (zolpidem) during pregnancy. Some data suggest that it can cross the placenta and affect the fetus. It would be better to try good sleep hygiene like going to bed at the same time each night, avoiding heavy meals less than 2 hrs before sleep, avoiding caffeine and stressful activities at night ; engaging in relaxing activities prior to sleep.
