A new study found that metoclopramide, an anti-nausea drug, is safe for pregnant women to take to ward off morning sickness.
82,000 births where this drug was used were analyzed. The study found that no difference in the number of birth defects between the women who took the drug and those who did not.
Despite this, many women still will not take a drug to control morning sickness. The reason? In the past, such drugs have caused deformities in babies and mothers simply don’t want to risk that.
