Travel Sickness Tablets?

[Linzi]

Just a quick question I forgot to ask the midwife this morning so I thought this would be the second best place!

Im travelling to the Isle of Wight on Saturday from Leeds. This involves driving to Portsmouth (about 6 hours) and getting a ferry to the island.

Since Im having to get off the bus twice on a morning to be sick on the way to work, and thats only a 1/2 hour journey, I dont want to have to keep making my inlaws pull over, so I was wondering if theres anything Im allowed to take, or a way to keep the sickness minimal?

Thank you in advance

You can try wearing a "sea band" which is like a lil bracelet worn on the wrist to prevent motion sickness. I wore them when I was terribly ill and it did help a lot.

As far as medicine, there are a few things you can but I suggest you call your doc of midwife for their advice on what you should and shouldn't take. They may be able to prescribe you something.

Hope you feel better soon

I highly suggest the Sea Bands. I've been wearing them for the nauseousness, and they have really helped.

Where are they available from? A chemists or something?

I got mine at Walgreens. Not sure if you guys have that, it's a pharmacy (is that what a chemist is?).

Oh, yeah sorry! Keep forgetting it's not all british on here. Duh haha

I went to Walgreens in the US when I was on my hols, but we don't have them over here. Ill have a look tomorrow before we head off in our nearest pharmacy
