zofran while breastfeeding

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.

My OB prescribed me this for my nausea and like a dumb dumb I goggled the side effects and they seem like they outweigh the benefits. Has anyone else taken this drug while pregnant?

OK.. so i know this might be TMI but i have been taking zofran for morning sickness since about 4 weeks ago... it has been great and worked miracles.. but... it does have one side effect or at least i think its due to the zofran... or maybe the prenatals?? everytime i pee this strong smell comes from it... its not strong pee smell but kind of a sour smell?? at first i thought it was my bathroom that maybe was backed up or had something in it that was ausing the smell..

I have been super sick just like you and Zofran is the only thing that helped me. Love it! I haven't noticed any side effects while on it.

So has anyone taken zofran while pregnant? I try to stay away from all medicine except my vitamins but the other night I ate something and I'm guessing my baby really didn't like it because I've been kind of sick since then but the other night the nausea was unbearable so I took one.

Id stop taking it unless youre unable to keep anything down. I would prob mention the comercials to the dr too and see what he says.

13 weeks 1 day: Anyone else have morning sickness all day, but it is way worse at night? I'm already on zofran, which helps all day until 5pm and then I feel like I've been run over. Tired and nauseous, even with the maximum dosage of zofran. Any suggestions?

It is perfectly fine to take while pregnant I took it threw out my first pregnancy and I'm currently taking it now threw my second pregnancy :)

What do you do when 8 mg. Of zofran is not enough...still feeling like I could throw up any second litteraly brought to tears because of it....what do I do?

Just thought i should share cuz apparently some women who have taken zofran while pregnant had babies with cleft lips or paletes http://www.nationalinjuryhelp.

If you are worried, you can call your local pregnancy hotline. Zofran is the only thing keeping me eating and drinking while pregnant. I ended up in the ER without it. LOVE IT!

If you are having a period while you are breastfeeding then you can TTC as usual. I was breastfeeding and had two very light period didn't think much of them and got pregnant again. My two youngest will be 14 months apart!

How many mommies here had to take zofran? Is it really safe I am taking it now to help me on my sickness but worries still in my mind. Share your thought about this med.

Ok about this Zofran nonsense. I took it while pregnant with my 5 month old daughter. Your doctor would absolutely not put you and your baby in harms why. So ignore the stupid commercials. I was gonna call my doctor this morning to get perscribed something for my nausea but it went away. And she normally perscribes Zofran. You absolutely cannot believe everything you see on t.v. and the internet.

I've lost 7 pounds since I've been pregnant due to the morning sickness and appetite loss, so my doctor prescribed me Zofran but I really don't want to take it. I'm sure y'all seen the commercials and I looked it up and it does cause those things. What should I do?

I just talked to my midwife about breastfeeding while pregnant this morning and she said it is perfectly fine. She said people who don't know the facts think you need to stop, but that is not true. Personally I am breastfeeding my 22 month old and I am 14 weeks pregnant. If she doesn't self wean I'll be tandem nursing them in March! Good for you to be educating yourself and not just doing what others say. You are being a fantastic Mom and meeting the needs of both babies!

You can definitely get pregnant while breastfeeding. It being a birth control is a common misconception. However I have had very unregular periods after having kiddos. And before mine were always clock work.

Thanks everyone for your fast Reply I do appreciate it

All u can take while breastfeeding is ibuprofen u can't take tylenol. It's weird cause while ur prego all u can have is tylenol and while breastfeeding all I can take is ibuprofen funny huh.

My friend took it with her pregnancies and delivered healthy babies,but i know there are massive lawsuits against zofran. I would say consult with your Dr and approach with caution.

It is possible. But also remember that Breastfeeding can delay your period also.....

Are any of your doctors agaist zofran?

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....

typically it is just fine for you to continue breastfeeding while pregnant, you may need to take extra vitamins and up you calorie intake even more than a typical pregnant women, so you can provide for both. since you do have history of MC I would definitely talk with your Dr as he or she may want to keep a close eye on your iron levels and any other levels that maybe effected by breastfeeding!
