Talk to me about Dramamine

I've always gotten really carsick, but since getting pregnant my carsickness has gotten worse. I'm going on a decently long trip Sunday with my dad. I'm driving 40 minutes to his house, which won't be a problem because I'll be driving. However, I'm going another hour from his house, which he is driving. 

We haven't told him that we're expecting, so he will really question why I'm suddenly THAT carsick. I'm usually fine for trips under an hour and that are mainly on straight roads, which this is. He'll know something's up, he's a bloodhound.

Has anyone taken it while pregnant? I already checked it withy doctor and they okayed it. I'm just wondering if the dose will be enough and if it'll actually work.

    Have you tried the Sea-Bands? I get car sick and have always had trouble with Dramamine so I switched to the Sea-Bands several years ago and love them.

  • Yes it's safe. The regular kind, not the less drowsy. Dimenhydrinate is what you want. It's category B.

  • I have sea bands on now! I just found them at target, they seem to be working! Granted, I'm just wandering around my house...

    PB - thanks for the tip on what kind to buy, I found the right stuff!

    Yep...I get motion sick very easily, and I flew for 3 different trips while pregnant.  My OB okayed it, so I took Dramamine each time.  No problem!
