I am going to visit my parents and will be flying there...I get terrible motion sickness. I usually take Dramamine to control it, but can I take it while I'm pregnant? Is that safe?

I'll be about 19 weeks by the time I get on the plane.

I don't know if it's safe, the label on the back of the box should tell you. If you want a more natural approach, ginger and peppermint are known to soothe stomachs. Peppermint tea always comes with me on an airplane. Also, take TUMs...the best thing in the world for pregnant women! They helped my quesy stomach so much when I was pregnant.

Do not take Dramamine as I believe it is on the pregnancy medication watch list.
The pressure bands mentioned above offered me quite a bit of relief from morning (all day, everyday) sickness. Also, try ginger ale, or candied ginger, wintergreen or peppermint candies might help too.
Enjoy your trip and your holidays!

There are some pressure strips you can buy at Walgreens that go on your wrists that are drug-free and can help with the motion sickness.

You may want to ask your doctor about that, but there is a wristband that you put around your arm, which prevents motion sickness. The wristband is drug free.

depending on how far long you are I know some doctors frown upon flying at a certain point.
I suggest that u dont have a heavy meal just before flying and that you carry some crakers for the naseau.
I wouldnt take any sort of drug but read this article...................

Consult your doctor.
Im not sure how far along you are in your pregnancy but most airlines do not let women that are late in their pregnancy to travel because of the risk.

Ginger pills. In double blind studies they work as well as prescription medication.
