Hey.

Welcome to HCM.

ALPRAX in general is not advised to be used in pregnancy.

Please see a Gynecologist near you, so that she can see the risk-benefit ratio and then can advise you accordingly.

As of now, try to follow this things.

1. Try not to sleep after 3 pm in the evening.
2. Try to sleep in a quite dark room to have a peaceful sleep.
3. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation.
4. Listen to soft music before going to bed or read your favorite magazine or novel.
5. Do not have tea or coffee especially before the bed time.

Hope i have answered your question. If you have any questions, then i will be happy to help you.

Take good care.:)

Warm Regards.
Dr. Surender sharma.
