I sometimes get motion sickness, and I'm planning a trip. I usually take Dramamine, but I'm worried about taking it now that I'm pregnant. Has anyone here used it or heard if it's safe during pregnancy?
You should absolutely never take Dramamine or any other medicine without consulting your gynecologist first. Even if it is considered safe by some, self-medication during pregnancy can be very risky. Please call your doc and get a safe prescription.
I panicked so much when I had severe motion sickness and almost took a random pill, but then I called my doctor and she gave me a safe, specific tablet. Don't worry, these symptoms are normal, just send a quick WhatsApp to your gynac and she will guide you.
Before buying any over-the-counter tablets like Dramamine, ask your hospital doctor. Getting a wrong reaction or complication can lead to expensive emergency hospital visits and extra scans which are totally avoidable. Better to get a cheap, safe prescription from your regular clinic.
Actually, I have been dealing with terrible nausea too during travel, but I'm too scared to take Dramamine. Did your doctor suggest it to you? Let me know if you get a safe option because I also need something badly!
It is best to avoid taking any medicines unless your doctor says it is absolutely necessary. Try to stay positive, take deep breaths during travel, and check with your doctor for safe alternatives. May God bless you and keep you healthy.
I took some mild motion sickness medicine during my pregnancy, but my doctor had specifically prescribed it. Please don't take Dramamine or any over-the-counter medicine without asking your gynac first. Your baby is developing, so safety comes first.
