Cyclizine

Just been prescribed cyclizine. Has anyone else been prescribed it and does it work?

I was prescribed it but was confused as it stated on the leaflet not to take if you are breastfeeding, pregnant or planning to become pregnant. I’ve decided not to take it and use my expert midwife ginger melts instead just for my own peace of mind. I’ve read a lot of people taking it though.

When my sickness was at its worst, cyclizine didn’t really work. But now that it’s naturally eased a bit, it definitely helps with my nausea so I guess it works best if your symptoms are mild. I’m careful when I take it though as they make me dizzy/half asleep so not the best when dealing with my toddler or work 🤣

Does anyone know how often you’re meant to take it? The GP said every mealtime so I took some at 12.30/1pm and another just now but after I’d taken it I looked on nhs website and it said to leave 8 hours between doses so now I’m worried 🤦‍♀️

I was prescribed it and told I could take it upto 3 times a day, as long as it was 8 hours between doses. It has really helped. To start I was taking it upto twice a day, now I take it once a day but am starting go longer between actually feeling unwell x

How quickly did it kick in for everyone? It’s not touched the sides for me yet 😅

Started to feel better after about 30 mins and then usually stopped feeling sick after an hour ish. The doctor did say it was a bit of trial and error though and if it didn’t work to go back & they’d try something else xx

Unfortunately this made me 10x worse as the dizziness and lightheartedness made the room spin which made me more sick! Bad side effect for me but not for everybody

I only got them yesterday. Do you think I can call again today or should I wait and keep trying until Monday?

I personally don’t think it works for my sickness to be honest

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
