I had the same thing and still do from time to time (I'm 11 weeks). I found that I wasn't keeping up with my increased fluid intake demands because of the nausea and vomiting. Also, my nausea was worsened by my constipation. I'm on Colace and Zofran now and the combo is really helping me stay hydrated. Good luck in nursing school! I'm a nurse and it was the best decision I ever made!
If you are suffering from HG like me, I'm fourteen week and five days, so it is slowly subsiding. I have read a lot of bad and good things about Zofran I'm currently in Nursing School and if you are becoming dehydrated like me; than the benefit out weight the risk of the baby you should take it. I came up with that conclusion when I was six week, and I took it. If I'm dehydration, electrolyte imbalance i could die than it wouldn't matter if I took the medicine or not.
I know it's the top choice of many mothers facing nausea but think about it. They use this drug for chemo and radiation patients. I'm a nursing major and just knowing what it does and the birth deformities it's linked to would deter any expectant mother. I recently discovered a more useful way of coping. It's called diclegis. You take two before bed and your fine for the rest of the day.
At this point in time whenever a migraine comes on I have to go to the Emergency Room, and I am well known there, I get a shot of Zofran for nausea and a shot of either Demerol or Morphine, but it happens so often that I am unclear on the aftereffects and I am breastfeeding so what harm is it doing to my new baby?? I guess I just don't know what to do anymore!!
If you are feeling nauseated you can take benadryl until you speak with your Dr and get a prescription for something safer.
If that does not work, then you probably need a prescription for Zofran which blocks the nausea and vomiting (which is caused by the drugs). Many of us used Zofran. It works very well for most of us. I took 8 mg every 8 hours for a few months.
Don't let this go. It will snowball. If the phenergan does not work, then ask for Zofran. Zofran does not make you sleepy. Phenergan does. Phenergan is cheaper, but Zofran works better (in my opinion). It is used to treat the nausea from Chemo.
Me top and nothing works not crackers juice mints the zofran I'm sick as heck but soon it shall pass
How many of you ladies are still taking zofran? My morning sickness is terrible. I'm 15 weeks and I throw up at least 5 times a day unless I take zofran and I've tried everything else and nothing works. But I know my doctor like personally and she assured me that it was safe and if it were her she would take it. I've lost about 30 pounds and only gained back 7 so she's worried about my weight. And I've lost it because of nausea. So how many Andre still taking it?
zofran is safe :). there are 2 nausea medicines that are considered safe for pregnancy, and zofran sounds like the better choice for you (since phenergan makes you sleepy, and that's the other option, i think it would freak you out!). every medicine is going to carry warnings, and there will be people who SWEAR that this medicine caused this or that...but that's the internet for you. it is considered safe, and your OB only prescribed it because they felt it was safe....
I am 14 weeks pregnant and my morning sickness has suddenly increased very bad I called thr dr today and the nurse gave me a prescription for zofran so far it's helped me and it says there are no side effects to me and my baby but some thing I was reading online says about causing cleft palates has anyone else taken this and is your baby perfectly fine?
Hello. I had to take it with my first pregnancy and it was amazing. I had awful morning sickness and it was the only thing that helped. I didn't experience any side effects.
I'm 7 weeks pregnant and suffering from nausea now every min of the day for over a week. I've lost weight and can't get a lot of fluids down And work full time. My Dr. Gave me Zofran but I'm a little weary of taking it. Has anyone taken zofran during pregnancy, what are your thoughts?
Has anyone else had to take zofran every day ? I'm 10 weeks and have to take it every morning.
