does anyone know some natural sleep aids or herbal remedies to help me sleep? im pregnant, and by the way my first dr app. is in a week and a half soo cant ask a dr. til then

There aren’t any sleep aids of any kind that my doctor said were alright, and I asked. She said that the only thing you can really do is drink warm milk because it has L-tryptophan. That’s the same thing in turkey that makes everyone sleepy. Steer clear of herbal remedies and natural sleep aids. Being labeled as "herbal" or "natural" doesn’t make something safe to take, especially during pregnancy.
