vitamin B6

[abbey]

Has anyone taken vitamin B6 to releive nausea? I was looking at morning sickness remedies on the internet and one site recommended taking 50mg of B6 twice a day. I had a look in tescos but they only sell 10 mg one a day tablets. I need to something, i feel so sick all the time and with 3 kids at home, the youngest only 15 mnths it's hard to cope.

managed to make it a bit smaller but still too big! Yes I suppose i should wait, I don't get to meet my midwife for another 2 weeks though. I might just take 1 a day anyway, it won't do any harm, i've read loads of places that it's good to take it. The site where I saw the big dose recommended is www.babycentre.co.uk, I think it's American.

I have been taking 10mg B6 daily. basically in research trials and in america they use bigger doses but in this country the licensing book says it only covers up to 10mg a day - there is the possibility of nerve problems (for you not baby) at higher doses.

My nausea went away exactly when I started taking it but I am now not sure if that was just a coincidence but definately worth giving it a try.
