1st Trimester

Dramamine for morning sickness?

Anyone know if this helps?

Re: Dramamine for morning sickness?

  • Not sure if it is recommended to take during pregnancy. I know it doesn't do much for me when I'm not pregnant. I would think because the cause of nausea is different it wouldn't help.

    Call your OB and ask for Zofran.

  • Google says it's Category B but I know that the Canadian equivalent is generally not recommended for pregnancy. Call your doctor and get something that is specifically for nausea/vomiting of pregnancy.

  • My doctor told me not to take Dramamine at all. And she was pretty lax on what to take/not take.

  • Zofran didn't work for me but phenergan (sp?) did. Also try b6 vitamins, preggy pops, ginger tea (or ale) and the sea sick bands- they are just bracelets - they didn't make a huge difference but enough that I wasn't hanging over a toilet every second. GL
  • Thanks y'all! >:D<

    Something that its working for me is a glass of water with a tea spoon bakin soda every night ;-) and ginger tea is good too .
  • Oh wow thanks I'll try that too!
  • Unable to see my doc today but I picked these up frm CVS and they work pretty well for nausea ..kick in about 2-3 minutes and last about 2-3 hrs two at a time but says u can take 2-4. Not a fan of chalky stuff but hey it beats ralphing all day lol!!
  • I had a 24 hour stomach bug a few days ago and my OB told me to take Dramamine.  Not sure if this works for m/s or not, or about taking it daily.  FWIW zofran didn't work for me with my first pregnancy, I had to take phenergan, but it really made me sleepy.  I'm hoping this time around m/s will be manageable through other methods since I have a 14 month old to chase around.  Good luck and hope you find something that works for you soon.

  • I have really bad motion sickness, have had to fly a few times since I've been pregnant, and RE/OB both said I could take Dramamine. I didn't have any issues and baby is fine.

  • Dramimine is on the okay list from my OB.  I have taken 1/2 a pill here and there on days I have gotten really nauseous.  I helps some.  It did not make it go away for me but it def made it less intense
