What is Gravol?  I've never heard of it... My OB suggests Unisom and it works for me.  She said it's safer than Tylenol or Benadryl during pregnancy.

Gravol....hmmmm.....that is odd that your doctor would say that it is ok.  I thought about taking some while on vacation and it says right on the package do not take if pregnant.  So I didn't.  Weird.

Gravol is basically an antihistamine, which is the main ingredient in Diclectin (medication prescribed in Canada for NVP) I checked the Mother Risk website which has a GREAT list of safe and unsafe medications, foods etc and Gravol was safe. I decided to go to bed and not take it and luckily I fell asleep and slept 10.5 hours. I'm still vomiting at least once per day, mostly in the evening...ARG!
