OK, so the article says the uterus grows 1,000 times it's normal size?!?!! Did I misread or should I expect my uterus to be larger than my house within the next 5 months! Lol! Typo anyone???
6/22/2010 12:46:35 PM Report AbuseI never took it, but my doctor also said that Unisom is ok to take....along w/Tylenol but not Tylenol PM. I found the taking Phillips right before bed works great for constipation, in the event that you may need it in the future. Good luck!
4/24/2010 07:26:41 AM Report AbuseI'm 13 weeks, my 4th and this one is so different. My morning sickness starts at 4pm... I wish I could get off the boat ride. My MD said it was ok to take 1/2 unisom, which works great as I sleep all night and don't have much night time sickness the next day.. but my concern is although it helps me, is it really ok for the baby?
