Dimenhydrinate, (Dramamine), WebMD:"The medications should be taken before travel and repeated during extended travel. Drowsiness is the main side effect of antihistamines. In children, antihistamines can have the opposite effect, making children excited rather than sleepy. Antihistamines also can cause dizziness. Cyclizine causes less drowsiness than other antihistamines."

Dimenhydrinate, (Dramamine), WholeHealthMD:"Pregnancy: Animal studies with high doses of dimenhydrinate have found no birth defects. Human studies have not been done. Because the studies cannot rule out harm, the drug should be used during pregnancy only if it is clearly needed. Breast Feeding: Dimenhydrinate may pass into breast milk; caution is advised; avoid or discontinue use while nursing."
