not a question but helpful info

Ladies if your doctor has proscribed u a medication called ondansetron I wouldn't take it. That medication is an off brand name for Zofran. I just saw a commercial that it has side effects on pregnancies and can cause miscarriages. I was taking it until now and I'm 33 weeks pregnant. Mine was only 4 mg but I took about 10 or 11 pills so that's 40-44mg. I don't trust this medication even tho it's for morning sickness and nausea.

Well one thing that can help so you don't need those is to increase your fluid intake. That's what I did and I haven't had anymore problems with the nausea which works for me because I had taking meds. That's just like with the prenatals they give you. I had to stop taking those and switch the the gummy ones because my stomach wouldn't let me take the horse pill sized ones. I guess I'm just really cautious about everything since this is my first baby and I'm having a girl and so far she's been healthy. And when ever you know someone who is pregnant or you're pregnant do not go with a dream on me brand crib I ordered one and it was damaged bad so we called the company and they said that if you want new parts you have to pay the shipping. So I took it back to Wal-Matt, got my money back and got a Delta brand crib from shopko. Those are packaged way better then the dream on me cribs. Good luck with the last of your pregnancies.

I took it for about 36 weeks with my daughter.  She was fine. If I had not she would have died and I probably would have too because of malnutrition and dehydration.  With my current pregnancy I only had to for 24 weeks. Every medicine has a side effect.  Your doctor will benefit the risk versus the reward.

I took it in the first trimester, only a pill or two a day and thats all I needed for my nausea. I will be 35 weeks Tuesday. I do agree those commercials are scary.
