Olly Sleep Gummies during pregnancy? Need opinions on this article
Hey everyone, found this article about Olly Sleep Gummies and pregnancy. My wife is expecting and she's been having trouble sleeping. The article says they might not be safe because of melatonin and other ingredients. Anyone have thoughts or experience? Here's the link: [link]
I wouldn't trust anything from Olly during pregnancy without asking a doctor. Melatonin isn't recommended, and who knows what else is in those gummies. Better safe than sorry. My OB said no sleep aids except unisom. Just my 2 cents.
I'm a gym rat and prego with my second. I tried Olly sleep gummies before I knew I was pregnant and freaked out. My midwife said it's probably fine if it was once, but don't make it a habit. There's not enough research. I switched to magnesium and chamomile tea. Works okay.
That article is pretty comprehensive. I'd say avoid. Melatonin can mess with hormones, and pregnancy hormones are already crazy. Plus, gummies might have added sugar or other herbs. Not worth the risk. Talk to your doc about safe options like Unisom or Benadryl.
