zofran and nausea

Just curious. I've been taking zofran through out my entire pregnancy to help with nausea. I'd take only one in the morning and I'd never feel sick or throw up at all. Now that I'm 36 weeks, I throw up at least once a day and it's always unexpected. The zofran isn't working anymore :/ anyone go through this too?

Yes. Happened to me too. Dr switched me to diclegis and its amazing.  I've always suffered with hg with all my pregnancies.  This is the first out of 5 that I've not had to be hospitalized. You take two before you go to sleep and it's slow release so when u wake up u feel great, take one more and if needed one more in the later afternoon.  I was really dehydrated and down 13 lbs so it took me about a week of not throwing up to feel "good" but I've been on it since 6 weeks and I'm doing great. 28 weeks now. I suffer from hg the whole pregnancy, hopefully yours goes away soon or something helps you. Best of luck

At 6 weeks I was diagnosed with Hyperemesis gravidarum (HG); which is chronic nausea, vomiting , dehydration and weight loss. I was on Zofran (every 4 hours) and Reglan (every 6 hours). It wasn't really working because I would throw it up! When I was 10 weeks the doctors put me on a 24 hour Zofran pump that automatically pumps the meds into my stomach. That  has been working a lot better.
