For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I took this medicine twice with two different pregnancies, and both times, my baby’s heart stopped beating around the 8th week. I don't care what anyone says about this medicine and that it doesn’t cause the baby to die early on, I feel it does. It does help with nausea and vomiting."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "This medicine is a lifesaver. I'm currently 8 months pregnant and hadn't gained weight at all throughout this pregnancy. I actually lost weight because I was nauseous, vomiting regularly, and couldn't eat throughout this entire pregnancy. I was taking Zofran, which did help, but thanks to Diclegis, I was able to start eating more, the nausea went away, and I gained 5 pounds in 2 weeks. I take Zofran throughout the day and 1-2 Diclegis at night because of the drowsiness, but this medicine is definitely a lifesaver for me."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I took two of these pills and went into a full-on rage for 6 straight hours. I couldn't control my emotions, my eyelids kept twitching. I felt like I was pumped full of antidepressants and was in a cross-eyed fog. My nausea was definitely gone, considering all the new horrible feelings I was enduring. The nurse said to 'give it time.' I have a two-year-old-I don't have a week or even a few days to be fueled by hatred and impatience. This medicine is horrible. Don't take it unless you want to experience extreme mood swings and irritability."

For Nausea/Vomiting of Pregnancy "I was ridiculously sick starting around 5-6 weeks pregnant. At 8 weeks, my new OB-GYN prescribed Diclegis. I started taking 2 pills at night, and I definitely felt better the next day-barely any nausea, so it definitely served its purpose. However, when I returned for the 10-week ultrasound, my doctor informed me that there was no heartbeat and the baby stopped growing around 8 weeks. The heartbeat was strong, 140 at 7 weeks, and this was a totally devastating blow-usually, once there is a heartbeat above 120, there is a very small chance of miscarriage-about 3-4%. I can’t help but think that maybe it is not a total coincidence that the baby stopped growing and died right around the same time I started taking Diclegis. If I am lucky to get pregnant again, I will never touch this drug :("
