Daily Mail • • health
Key Points:
- Emilee Janitz, a New Yorker, struggled with severe morning sickness during her pregnancies and found significant relief using a combination of vitamin B6 and the over-the-counter sleep aid Unisom, which contains doxylamine.
- About 70% of pregnant women experience morning sickness, with severe cases classified as hyperemesis gravidarum, which can require hospitalization; vitamin B6 has been recognized since the 1990s for its anti-nausea effects and safety in pregnancy.
- Janitz’s regimen involved taking 25 mg of vitamin B6 four times daily, which reduced her vomiting and nausea, and adding doxylamine before bed during her third pregnancy provided near-immediate symptom relief.
- Another woman, Hannah Ger
