NVP Symptoms and Effects
Date: 2003-03-05
Question:
I am now 19 weeks pregnant and am still feeling and being sick about 3 or 4 times a week. When will it go, it is ruining my life.
Answer:
Unfortunately, NVP can sometimes last longer than the first trimester. In Canada, many women experiencing NVP are prescribed Diclectin. When they call our Helpline at 1-800-436-8477 we suggest that they stay on the medication until they have no more symptoms at all and only then wean themselves off, one pill at a time.
Why not give us a call for further information? You should also talk to your doctor to determine whether these occasional episodes of NVP are triggered by anything else.
