Has anyone taken anti-sickness medication in pregnancy? Was it completely safe?

I took it with my second baby all through the first trimester as I was really bad.... i got them from the gp. They are safe to take other wise gps wouldn't prescribe them. Hope you feel better soon xx

Hi,

I was prescribed cyclizine from week 6ish to week 19. It’s completely safe and definitely helped stopping me actually being sick, but unfortunately didn’t stop the nausea much. I don’t think I could have coped without it though so worth chatting to your dr about xx

Literally in the same position as you (but not as far into my pregnancy yet). If you’re still suffering, all I can say is chewing gum!! Helps the gagging feeling sooooo much! Bought a big multi pack when usually I hate the stuff!

Good luck x

Hello I’m a pharmacist and my best friend is an obstetrician, I had hyperemesis up to 16 weeks I’m still being sick now but only once a day ( I’m 26 weeks) I got put on cyclizine and prochlorperazine both are safe in pregnancy.

The tablets don’t help the nausea but it does reduce the vomiting. It’s the worst I hope you feel better soon. Xx

Hi, I suffered with hyperemesis in both my pregnancies and had to take them. Ive had 2 healthy boys. Drs reassured me it was safe to tajem have a chat with yoyr gp of midwife. Hope this helps

I took cyclizine throughout my first pregnancy and all was fine! I’ve started taking it again in my second pregnancy- I’m 17 weeks and it is a big help! Xx

Thanks to everyone that has responded. I'm 26 weeks pregnant and had am awful time with sickness. Since about 21 weeks I cant keep food down and it was making me feel really unwell. I got prescribed anti sickness and they really helped. For the last two or three days I tried to come off the medicine but the vomiting started again. Seems I'm gonna have to stay on them for a while longer. Your messages have really helped. Thanks lovely people. X
