My OB said it was fine, just don't overuse. I got really sick in the early part of my first tri. and I simply couldn't take it anymore at night so I used it before bed.

My doctor said it was fine to use -- and I think I've even read that it's fine in one of my books.

But it's probably best for you to check with your doctor.

Amen! Chat Icon

I got so mad about it that once after my proper two sprays I just stared at my husband with that crap dripping out of my nose and said "what the F**^ was that for?" as if it was all his fault that it doesnt work. He died laughing at me. Chat Icon

Feel better soon
