Trying to wean off diclectin

Question

I’m currently week 17 day 6 today. Ive been on diclectin 1 pill everyday since my Week 8. I tried to wean off 3x after I passed the week 13 mark, but the next day it seems to come back with a vengeance with nausea and vomiting at the end of the day.I’m feeling afraid of self weaning as I have to work and wonder if anyone has any tips for weaning off Diclectin? #firstmom #pleasehelp I think I’m also a little psychologically affected if I take my diclectin later on some days. I’ll feel the sourish taste in my mouth from thickened saliva.

Hi mum, I totally get the fear because once the nausea comes back it really affects work and daily life. I remember some mums saying they tried reducing too fast and ended up feeling terrible again, so maybe don’t rush yourself to stop just because you passed a certain week. If every time you cut down the symptoms come back badly, maybe check with your gynae first and ask if there’s a slower way to taper because every pregnancy really behaves differently.
