Morning Sickness
Nausea support and replenishment.
For the first trimester that's been nothing but nausea, when you can't keep water down, let alone a prenatal. Fluids put back what you've lost, and nausea support helps you keep the next glass down. OB clearance is required before your first visit. This drip is not a substitute for prenatal medical care.
Every ingredient. Every dose.
Everything in this bag is about getting fluids back in and nausea under control. Bring a driver, since Benadryl can make you drowsy, or book a mobile visit and stay on the couch.

What each ingredient does for you.
Taken by mouth, vitamins have to make it through your digestive system first, and only part of what you swallow reaches your blood. An IV skips that step, so more of it reaches you. Here is what each ingredient in this bag is there to do.
1,000 mL
When you can't keep water down, you fall behind fast. A liter of fluids and electrolytes goes in without asking anything of your stomach.
4 mg
Calms the signals that trigger nausea, and works through the drip when a pill won't stay down. Your OB clearance and history are reviewed first.
100 mg
B6 is the nutrient most often discussed for pregnancy nausea, and it supports energy and mood.
25 mg
Benadryl helps with nausea and makes it easier to rest. It can make you drowsy, so bring a driver.
500 mg
Magnesium supports how your muscles relax and helps you rest when you've been miserable.
Add a booster or an add-in to any drip.
Add-ins go straight into your bag. Boosters are quick intramuscular injections given during the same visit. Tell your nurse what you're after and they'll help you pick.
Here are a few great alternatives.
