I also posted this on 1st Tri, but since I am slightly afraid of the puppies, rainbows, and H1N1 fest they have over there, I thought I would see if the p&e'ers have any suggestions.
I may be pregnant. This is causing a problem because I am supposed to fly to SoCal on Saturday, and I get air sick. Normally, I would just pop a couple of Dramamine and be fine. But, reading the labels, I saw that Dramamine shouldn't be taken while pregnant.
Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I can take that is considered "safe" for pregnant women?
I emailed my doctor, but since it is Christmas Eve, I doubt I will get a response.
I am going to post and run, as I am off work and need to go home, but I will check as soon as I get there.
Re: c/p Airsickness
My safe list says:
phenergan, zofran (I believe those are rx only)
ginger tablets
unisom and vit b6 3x a day
sea bands
...these are probably more for m/s though.
If I were you, I'd get a First Response Early Result since those are the most sensitive.

Possibly yes signs:
I am now 4 days late for my period. Tested and got a positive using an Early Result otc test. My breakfast almost made me throw up this morning. No period symptoms, at all.
Possible no signs:
Tested after receiving the positive result and got 2 negative tests (using same brand, same time of day, same early result test).
I tested with $ tree tests and the line was suuuuper faint (even with fmu), and I started the day before my period was supposed to come b/c I didn't have any symptoms. Got the overwhelming + with a FRER the next day, in the evening because I was impatient.
I would test again tomorrow and see, but it could be a chemical pregnancy.
In the meantime, I'd try the seabands.

I was going to try testing again tomorrow and see what I got. I was hoping Mother nature would end the debate by having my period come, so that way I wouldn't worry about traveling. My gut is leaning towards it having been a chemical pregnancy, just because it is odd that I got a positive result first, then negative ever since. But, just in case it isn't, I am trying to be careful, as I don't want a mutant baby. It will have enough obstacles to over come with the genes we are passing on, don't want to add more...
Hmm, Dramamine is a category B drug, which means it is unlikely to harm an unborn baby. It still recommends talking to a dr, but even Tylenol is like that.
GL with the testing - I hope you get a bfp as an xmas gift! It's not unheard of.

And I really hope to give Scott a bfp for Christmas. It is the gift that just keeps on taking for the next 18+ years.
