I have had really bad morning sickness and the doctor prescribed me zofran and said it would help I took it and it had helped a lot but then today I looked it up and saw what it can cause so Im highly upset they gave it to me . I'm going to stop taking it and just deal with the sickness but can it already have harmed my baby ?

I was really sick in the beginning of my pregnancy after the first 2 months I had to take Zofran throughout my pregnancy.  I lost 21 pounds in 1 week was very sick and couldn't keep anything down. Mt daughter is very healthy and I'm 37 weeks.  You don't have to take it everyday but if your really sick I say take.  There for you won't starve your baby.

It only affects babies when you are very early in pregnancy , & ONLY SOME. After 14 weeks they say your baby's developed enough so zofran won't bother it .. I took it when I really needed it , it helped too. It was either that or my baby wouldn't b getting the nutrients he needed cause I couldn't keep anything down !! But it's up to you. I don't take it every day only that time & I try to avoid any medicine , including Tylenol . If I really really need it I'll take it . Otherwise I just deal w it .

People will agree some will not. Everyones body is different but I honestly wouldn't recommend taking it I got prescribed zofran 3x and refused to take it because of  the commercials and lawsuits. I'm sure if you've stopped taking it your baby is fine.

People will also disagree BUT not all doctors have your best interest in mind yes it's their job but that doesn't mean they actually give a sh*t! They actually make a profit of off prescribing medicines.


Check out Prego pops they're nausea lollipops I found them at babies r us and they helped me ALOT.

Good luck and way to be smart for your baby :)
