miracle drug?
Not so much. Since I was pregnant with our second child, nearly a decade ago, I’ve heard of this Zofran. Nearly instantly curing nausea for cancer treatment patients, morning sick moms and others.
Me? Nope. Like popping sugar pills, but it tastes worse. And for $80 PER PILL, it doesn’t work. Not for me.
So now, it is recommended that I take 50 mgs of B6, 2ce a day, and half a Unisom at night. Like some stupid vitamin’s going to do the trick when a mega money pill does not.
Oh well. Nothing like living like a slug.
The Unisom/B6 worked pretty well for me during my last pregnancy.

OH, check the package, I think all unisom is is Benadryl and a store brand benadryl will be much cheaper and is usually NOT a capsule. I’ve been doing the dramamine at night because it’s what’s in the cabinet. I can on fourth of one and staves off the constant gags, but not the realy big ‘gotta pukes’. Dramamine and Benadryl break down in the system the same way and the body treats them identically once broken down. One is diphenhydramine and the other is diphenhydrenate.
I am still praying for you that it won’t be as bad this time; first trimesters usually ignore this precious prayer request.

Ugh. yeah. The nausea can be horrible. Nothing much worked for me, either. Even when I didn’t feel nauseous, the food aversion felt a lot like nausea.
*sympathy*

It is difficult trying to add the time we’ve invested looking up calorie webpages.
