zofran help plz

[TayR93]

I know what zofran can do but ive been so sick my dr put me on it because i wasnt even keeping water down. I only take it when i need too. But for all the moms that have ever taken it has it ever not worked? I had to take it yesterday and today and both morning about 30 minutes after taking it i threw up anyway, im worried because i dont know if my morning sickness is getting worse or if i caught a small bug. After i puke im fine:/

Best thing I used that never hurt me or my babies was Dramamine that stuff is good it makes you a little sleepy but it helps

I was prescribed zophran it never worked for me I had the worse morning sickness it lasted all day I could not eat anything. The only thing I found to work was when my doctor prescribed me promethizen for nausea. You could try asking your Dr about it

[TayR93]

@brkness thats insane! Some side effects r nuts!

[brkness]

Lol everyones going to have individual results, not everyone has the same side effects. And have u looked up the side effects and warnings for other anti nausea meds. The Dr gave me another kind along with zofran. And it said it could cause your muscles to mess up and make your face droop. I was like no way!! I have thrown up on days where i've skipped the zofran I only take it if I really need it, which is more often then not.

Thank u:)

Never taken zofran was prescribed something else for sickness but never took it if  u feel it doesn't work or u are nervous about taking it ask doc to switch u to something else I'm really not sure what is up with this zofran but from what I read it was only approved for sickness in cancer patients so not really sure why so many docs are still prescribing it to pregnant woman when there are so many other drugs out there that are approved for use in pregnant woman but all drugs have risks u just have to do what u feel is right for u

In the beginning of my pregnancy I was always extremely sick I couldn't stop throwing up or keep anything down for months but I found that eating lime helped me feel better and I was able to eat and keep it down

[TayR93]

I only take 4 mg if i need it the most ive taken is 8 mg a day

[nana101312]

I took Zofran up until I was 12-13weeks I didn't wanna take any pills but I had no choice I was throwing up way to much  I'm 33weeks now and my baby boy is ok
Try ginger ale and water that what worked for me .
I was on 8mg every 4-8hours I think but I try my hardest not to have taken them.  Good luck!!

Oh, and to clarify, I took it during labor.  When I head early pregnancy morning sickness, I felt nauseated a lot, gagged frequently but wasn't full on vomiting.  so, I managed through it.  during labor, I was vomiting and that is where I draw the line.  If your stomach is emptying, you have to do something to help.  good luck

[specialmom]

I did have success with Zofran in both of my pregnancies with no issues.  It's so commonly used and has a good track record.  If you need it, you need it.  good luck dear and I hope you feel better.

@RheaAnn2 Ive tried the gatorade and bland diet before the zofran it didnt help at all and couldnt keep it down. And im already on the gummies but thank u for the suggestions:)

[RheaAnn2]

4everinlov- yes morning sickness is part of pregnancy but when a mother cannot keep water down or eat at all it can become dangerous. The mother can become very dehydrated which can be very serious. Also if your baby isn't getting the fluid it needs it can harm the baby. I had to try gatorade it worked wonderful. Also small frequent bland meals. I had a hard time with water. I also drank sprite. But the Gatorade will keep you hydrated just make sure to still drink water! Zofran didn't work for me, I had to be switched to diclegis. It was much better. Also your prenatals can be making you sick. I had to switch to gummies with no iron, until I got past the morning sickness.

Thank u

B12 is a water soluable vitamin that really helps, you will urinate and excess in your body and has no known effects to the baby, that and ginger tea works wonders! I was offered zofran but my declined and my doctor suggested that combo and it stopped me from being sick, and I was the same way as you throwing up water or anything at all. Also benedryl works good too just can't take it as often. Hope this helps!

[bree201514]

I took zofran one time at the beginning of my pregnancy and I'll never do it again. It made me feel HORRIBLE. I was light headed and tired and I just felt like someone strapped a 100 pound weight on me. It sucked /:

[4everinlov]

i couldnt really eat throw or drink throw my whole pregnacy and my baby came out fine and i wouldnt take anything to help it stop  because getting sick is normal for some and pills are not but good luck hope your baby ant one of the many that get prob for that

[TayR93]

Thank u

[Kimbo_of3]

Ok love :) I used it for my first pregnancy it actually helped but this 1 is way different. Lol. Hope it helps you soon.

[angi3baby1991]

Its always worked for me. I still take it regardless of what others say. It helpsme for 1 and 2 when I asked my doctor about the birth defect talk she said there is no proven facts that the medicine in fact causes the defects. She said all this talk came from lawyers, same as when there was all the talk about yaz and other birth controls. I'll take my chances, a perfectly healthy mother that takes no medicine could create a baby with defects.

[TayR93]

@kimbo_of3 ill have to give it a few more days if it doesnt help ill have to talk to my dr about the other kind:)

[TayR93]

Thank you everyone!

Do what's best for you.  Take the Zofran if it helps.  Don't let other people try to scare you from doing what you need to.  People are always looking for something to blame and at the moment it's Zofran.  Next week it'll be because you're breathing wrong.  Maybe it's just a little bug.  Had one of those this weekend and the Zofran didn't really help too much either.   Hope you feel better!

[sabbylopez]

If you take zofran there is a 30% chance of birth defects. So it doesn't effect evey women who take it but there have been mothers that suffer.
