  I'm an FTM and my CNM swears by B6. Im only 7 weeks but no "morning"sickness yet!! ☺️ I'm actually not very hungry at all though. Not what I expected!

  My midwife told me about that this morning at my first appointment. 4w5d. She said if I start having ms that is the best thing to take since they are no longer prescribing zofran.

  b6 has worked great for me I don't need the unisom. Do I have bad nausea, yep. Am I throwing? Nope. I'm happy. Didn't work for everyone though.

  It wasn't very effective for me. I was so gorked on the Unisom I couldn't function, and I think I felt worse with it. I did try B6 alone, and no difference. I stopped my prentals with iron and switched to a milder one. I honestly think that helped the most!
  I'm not vomiting like I was last week, and have evened out. Still nauseous, but I can keep food in!

  Unisom (doxylamine) and Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) are the two ingredients in the new morning sickness prescription drug, Diclegis.  This Rx brand name med costs about $700 per bottle, but both of these ingredients over the counter separately are about $5 each.  Either way, these medications have been proven to be effective and safe... of course that doesn't mean they work for everyone 100% of the time.  If you go with the OTC products, I would take only half a unisom tablet, which is 12.5 mg, to reduce the drowsiness.

  It didn't work for me. Zofran hasn't been helping much either, but this is baby #3 so maybe I'm immune. When I go to the dr I'm going to ask him for something else. I just don't have time to be nauseous.

  I have been sick since before BFP (6 weeks today) and the Unisom/B6 combo isn't touching my nausea.

  I'm on Diclegis and it's taking the edge off of my nausea. I'm still not feel great but I'd hate to see what I'm like without it.
