Cyclizine and nausea

[cathyearnshaw]

Just wondering how best to use it as I've used buccastem in previous pregnancies.

I'm about 7 weeks and the vomming hasn't really started properly just feeling sick alot - usually kicks in big time at 8 weeks (this is pg no 4 so I know what to expect).

So do I use it like Buccastem and take a tablet when the nausea hits or do I use it prophylactically and take it at regular intervals. ANd do I start now before it kicks in or wait til it's bad? The pharmacist was pretty useless so thought I'd call on the pros!

oops - not sure why i posted this in baby names!!! will repost in pg!

Probably don't go with your surname anyway!

Good luck

I was really hoping this was a mispost and not twins

They sound like Roman gods of pregnancy (or maybe even war and mayhem) when you run across them on this topic.

Oh god..... I think I might actually use those as names; there is a chance there could be twins in there as it was IVF. Nausea for a girl obviously.

I took it regularly. It made me sooooo tired but that was better than the sickness!

I took it 3 times a day, morning, dinnertime and bedtime and it was amazing imo! I had severe hypermisis and it really helped! In my case the hyperemisis had already started and I'd been hospitalised twice before starting cyclizine but it started to work after a few days so maybe start taking it now? I'd ring your midwife before doing so though just to be on the safe side.
