🤰 Expecting a Baby, But Feeling Queasy?
Here is What the Science Says.
"Morning sickness" doesn't always happen in the morning, and it can make a joyful time feel incredibly difficult. At Lukner Medical Clinic, we believe in treatments backed by reliable medical research data.
If you are struggling with nausea during pregnancy, here are three evidence-based options to discuss with your provider:
1. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 💊
This is often considered the first-line treatment. It has strong safety data regarding use in pregnancy and is effective for reducing mild to moderate nausea.
* Common Recommendation: 10–25 mg, 3 times daily.
2. Doxylamine + Vitamin B6 (Diclegis®, Bonjesta®) 👩⚕️
When Vitamin B6 alone isn't doing the trick, this combination is often the next step. It combines B6 with Doxylamine (an antihistamine also found in OTC Unisom SleepTabs).
* Note: This combination is FDA-approved specifically for treating nausea in pregnancy.
3. Ginger 🍵
For those looking for a natural approach, evidence supports using ginger for mild nausea.
* Options: Ginger capsules (250 mg, 3–4 times daily), ginger tea, or ginger chews.
We are here to help.
Every pregnancy is different. If nausea is preventing you from eating or drinking, please reach out to us.
