Ive been prescribed metoclopramide hydrochloride to take for my nausea.  Im 17 years old on 9 weeks 3 days pregnant. Obviously my first and wanting to know if anyone had any problems taking this medication?? My mum and I are abit iffy as my cousin was born with a hole in her heart from my aunty taking a nausea medication (many many years ago though). What are your thoughts on medication? I am sick 24/7 and throw up almost everything I eat.

That medicine is for ppl with gastroparesis, ppl who have neuropathy off the vagus nerve. basically it helps speed up the digestion processand it also causes tardive diskinesia, I know bc I was on it for the gastroparesis and developed it. Definitely would NOT take while pregnant..

My doctor prescribed the same thing for me when I was 8 weeks..i was losing weight and always sick..i didn't take it because it said the side affects were vomiting and nausea which is what I was taking it to prevent.. im 3months now, the sickness will soon fade away.. hope that was helpful :)

I was on it for 4 days before that specific one stopped working and I ended up in the hospital again.. I'm 19 weeks today and had to take diclectin, ranitadine, and ondansetron up until 16 weeks regularly now it's just if i get stressed. I have a perfectly happy healthy baby :) the ondansetron and ranitadine made the world of difference is your nausea is really bad :)
