Brief Answer:
Try other therapies, before ambien

Detailed Answer:
Hi there
Thanks for appreciating the answer and reverting back to me.
I have gone through your reply.

As per my opinion, Ambien is category C drug, as far as pregnancy is considered.
It is short acting agent useful to induce sleep.
But safety in human pregnancy is not established.

It should be used with caution, only if benefits outweigh the risks.
Please use it with full discussion with your treating doctor.

I will suggest use of traditional herbs like Brahmi.
Syrup or Tablet Mentat at bedtime will be of help.
Also, meditation and behavioral therapy is found to be helpful in such cases


I hope this answer helps you.
