If your OB told you that taking it will help you sleep, then odds are that it's safe. Check with the pharmacist if you aren't sure, though. Or call a different OB for a second opinion. I don't know about Zypran, but I've taken Unisom during pregnancy and while nursing before and it didn't seem to have any negative effects on the baby. She actually was a little less active at night, but otherwise was fine. And she woke me bright and early about 8 1/2 hours after I took the pill with lots of activity - and noise after she was born.
