does this work for nausea?

I am in my 7the week of pregnancy and have an 18 month old. I have been very nausious this pregnancy since about week 5... I have been doing what I can at home by drinking ginger tea/ginger ale and snacking frequently but in the afternoon I get to the point where I wanna curl up in a ball (which is impossible with a 18 month old)I  called my dr today and they suggest 25mg of B6 with a half tablet of unisom at night. Is this something that is working for you other pregnant ladies out there? I assume its safe since they told me to do it? What is unisom? I thought it was a sleep aid? Hummm.....

OK thanks everyone. I sent my husband out to get that stuff plus some ginger pills... I guess we will see if it works... I am sceptical because my nauseaois in the evening hours, not the morning...

Zofran is what stopped working for me. It's the chemical combination of the vitamin and the unisom that helps with the nausea. Reglan didn't help either except with migraines in first trimester. It's an OTC item which makes it worth a try without going to a prescription.

I've never heard of this before unisom is a sleep aid but i don't see why sleeping better would help with nausea i have an abnormally high level of hormones that my body produces and have been diagnosed with hyperemisis during this pregnancy and both of my previous two it's excessive vomiting due to the high level off hormones my body produces.  My doctor prescribed me zofran and I've taken it during all 3 of my pregnancies it didn't help much with my last two i was hospitalized for dehydration dozens of times during each one and had to give myself iv fluids at home with an iv the nurses would come to my house and change every 3-5 days so i didn't need to keep going to the hospital for fluids.  I would ask for something like zofran or reglan is another antinausea medicine the zofran has worked wonders for during this pregnancy it's the only thing keeping me from throwing up ten times a day now

Yes, unison is a sleep aid, but they are only having you take half a tablet. I haven't had to do much for morning sickness other than sprite, but I have heard of unisom and b6.
