B6 for morning sickness

  I know for some people it's pretty fast, the same day you start taking it. I had a slight decrease in my nausea 1-2 weeks after I started taking it, but it wasn't a dramatic cure by any means. The nausea was still always there (until nearly 20 weeks for me), it just wasn't as overpowering. But it's really different for everyone! I hope you get relief quickly! Remember to also eat small snacks all day long (never let your tummy be empty), and my midwife recommended far+protein to keep the nausea at bay (think nuts, eggs), which I think worked better then the bland foods like crackers that the ob recommended. You can also try Sea Bands.

  Thank you! I will try the fat and protein tip for sure.  I feel like I have been eating nonstop, but am just stuck in a starving, nauseous loop. I had morning sickness with my first, but I do not remember being this miserable!

  I got relief same day. I take 25mg three times a day and add a 1/2 pill of Unisom at night. The difference has been pretty dramatic for me. I was having nausea nearly 24/7 with vomiting every other day or so. I’ve been taking the B6/Unisom combo for about 3 weeks now and I still get nausea occasionally. Maybe every other day or so for an hour or less. I have vomited only one or twice and that was when I was late in taking a dose. As long as I take my doses on time I feel *almost* normal. 

  I’m 10 weeks today.

  So glad you got some relief! That gives me some hope. I am only on day 2 of b6 and so far I’m not super impressed. I am wondering if maybe I need to spilt my dose up throughout the day instead of the one 100mg tablet. I haven’t tried the Unisom yet, I was hoping to the b6 alone would help.
