So sorry you are feeling sick. I'm in the same boat. I am 6 weeks and still breastfeeding my 19 month old. The nausea is starting to hit me hard, so I asked her pediatrician about taking Diclegis (that's it's name in the US) while still breastfeeding. She said not to worry; it shouldn't do any harm. It's just an extended release version of vitamin B6 and an antihistamine. </p> <p>I took it in my last pregnancy, and it did help me function better. It didn't take all my nausea away, but it was no longer debilitating, so it was worth it. Made me drowsy at first, but I adjusted to it pretty quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-experience-with-using-diclectin-while-breastfeeding#post-2633880 Fri, 07 Oct 2016 17:05:20 +0000 Astro Bee 2633880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been experiencing severe morning sickness the last couple of weeks; I am currently 10.5 weeks pregnant. My doctor prescribed Diclectin, which is the only morning sickness medication regularly prescribed for pregnant women in Canada. I didn't take anything for MS during my first pregnancy, but am finding it difficult to manage my toddler, being sick, even with DH doing more than his fair share. My husband was the one who picked the prescription up, and didn't mention that I was still breasfeeding. I know it is pregnancy safe, but am not sure how safe it is for my toddler. Motherisk is only open weekdays until 5, as is my pharmacy, so I can't get any official answers until Monday. Has anyone else been in my situation, been provided Diclectin while breasfeeding? </p>
