Avatar f tn I was on diclegis for the first few months. Its especially made for morning sickness and nausea. One of the only pregnancy safe medications. It worked great for me.
Avatar f tn I've never heard of this before unisom is a sleep aid but i don't see why sleeping better would help with nausea i have an abnormally high level of hormones that my body produces and have been diagnosed with hyperemisis during this pregnancy and both of my previous two it's excessive vomiting due to the high level off hormones my body produces.

8296559 tn?1397871519 I'm new here, and I was wondering if you have any thoughts or helpful tips to nausea. I'm on my second pregnancy and I've never had to deal with nausea while being pregnant with my daughter. Now I just feel as if I can't eat anything without vomiting.
Avatar f tn Yes, definitely ask your doctor fir zofran. I couldnt even hold water down and the doctor prescribed me zofran bc I waa getting dehydrated.
Avatar f tn Case reports have described two women who have received ondansetron during pregnancy for life-threatening hyperemesis gravidarum. No abnormalities were noted in the offspring of these two women. Ondansetron is only recommended for use during pregnancy when benefit outweighs risk.
Avatar f tn m a little weary of taking it. Has anyone taken zofran during pregnancy, what are your thoughts?
Avatar f tn Is zofran safe to rake during pregnancy? I've read some stories and some say it's not and can cause heart defects is this true?
Avatar f tn The risks of defects associated with Zofran occur before 12 weeks of pregnancy. I had to take it for a few weeks during that period before my morning sickness went away. They check for defects and everything at your 20 week scan. It seems like she prescribed it because the risk of you running into a health issue due to your weight loss is higher than a birth defect caused by Zofran.
Avatar f tn I have a friend that took it while she was pregnant. . . And she took it thru out her entire pregnancy for nausea and her baby was just fine. . . full term . . .no problems at all. Now she's 1 and wont sit down and full of energy.
Avatar f tn I would highly recommend Zofran. It is used for nausea and it works WONDERS! They have other drugs likes Phenergan and Compozine, but the side effects are long and AWFUL (I know because I have taken both). I just looked at the med fact on Zofran and while it doesn't say much about breastfeeding while taking Zofran, there aren't any known problems with taking it during pregnancy.
12103503 tn?1423448886 Is it safe to take zofran during pregnancy. My doctor perscibed it to me for nausea. But then i got freaked out about a commercial i saw in tv about zofran causing birth defects.
10426661 tn?1410354439 Zofran worked for my first pregnancy but it did not for this one. This one is twins though so maybe that's why. It does constipate you almost immediately though!
Avatar n tn Hi, Nausea is a common symptom during pregnancy, especially till 12 weeks of pregnancy. This can be exaggerated in some women. It is necessary to rule out pregnancy complications like twins and molar pregnancy. Medications and dietary modification will help control the nausea. Consult your Doctor. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Ondansetron (Zofran®) 8mg-16mg (They come in 4, 8 and 16mg tabs. You might need 16-32mg. Granisetron (Kytril®) 1mg tabs Aprepitant (Emend®) is new, and is used to prevent (not treat) nausea. Studies show it to be very effective especially when used in combination with the two drugs above and decadron (dexamethasone).. Palonosetron (Aloxi®) this is fairly new and only available IV, but it is the ONLY long-acting drug on the market—good for up to 5 days after administration.
11529448 tn?1419052525 So my doctor prescribed me some nausea medicine called zofran and I was watching a commercial on tv and it was talking about how babies are being born with birth defects after using the nausea medicine zofran. So should I stop taking it and find other ways to deal with the nausea ? or should I continue to use it if my doctor recommended it.
Avatar f tn Any already moms used ZOFRAN during their pregnancy and baby came out perfectly fine? i started zofran a four weeks ago and i must admit i feel guilty for taking the pills but i was prescribed the pills vecause i couldnt hold anything down. i tried eveything and nothing helped. Zofran has been helping so much! i am able to keep foods down. still get horrible nausea but at least im able to eat. i tried to stop taking them but i threw up the whole entired day.
Avatar f tn I take b6 and it helps a lot! I haven't taken anything else for the nausea but it seems to be working for me. Also, I take it during breakfast along with the prenatal so I won't even taste it.
478429 tn?1265244387 I know I haven't been on much, but I need some opinions...I called the RE's office this morning to see if he will go ahead and prescribe me Zofran for the nausea...I don't remember throwing up this much with Travis and at least with him, I could eat meat - This one - Nadda.
Avatar f tn As far as I know its been deemed safe for pregnancy. I had to be put on a zofran pump because I was so nauseous and vomited literally all the time. It got so bad I tore my esophagus a few times, and had to be in the hospital for fluids. That pump saved my life. I'm off it now, but still take the oral zofran as I need it. All my ultrasounds have shown that baby is perfect, and I did some hefty research before going on the pump, and couldn't find anything that said it caused defects.
Avatar n tn I lost 12lbs in 1 month during the first trimester. I got zofran which is a miracle drug which really helped A LOT. Morning sickness for me started to taper off around 15weeks. Once I was about 18 it was virtually gone with some minor breakthrough nausea. I started gaining weight like crazy so ur body will catch up.
Avatar f tn I was recently sent to the ER by my ob for rehydration since I wasn't able to keep ANYTHING down for the past week. I was prescribed zofran but it honestly doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm 9wks. My prev pregnancy I had bad nausea but not nearly this bad vomitting. Anyone experiencing the same???
