I would like to make a comment about this subject. I am under the
impression that B-vitamins should not be taken by themselves, but as
part of a B-complex, otherwise a potentially harmful imbalance can
result. Thus I could never recommend to anyone to take doses of B-6
alone: it could damage the health of both the mother and the fetus.  My
wife's gynaecologist finally prescribed suppositories for my wife's
morning sickness, which seemed to work. (I have no idea what they
contained, but seeing the earlier posting about a gynaecologist who
prescribed a potentially teratogenic commercial product to help with
morning sickness, I would check out their chemical composition first if
she ever has to use them again.)
