As suggested,Sea Bands,worn 24hrs,and supposedly pressing on acupuncture points on wrist,may help.There have been thousands of proposed Rx's for this since the written word;some of the very old literature suggests injections of husband's semen or honey.A recent review(? from Canada)remarked on the dramatic increase in hospital admissions for n/v since Bendictin withdrawn from market. Can make your own bendectin from B6 and Unisom tabs.A ACOG tech. bulletin has recommended Atomic fire balls.Never have seen B1 mentioned.If really,really sick--vistaril and reglan works as out pt po rx on occasion. >

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
