Anyone have to take zofran during pregnancy?

Question

Any Opinions on taking it?

Answer

I have hyperemesis gravidarum, and have taken it since 6 and 1/2 weeks. I was so sick that I was in the hospital neigh but constantly- they wanted to place a PICC line in me for nutrition. My life was completely changed in every way as I struggled to survive. I took zofran until I was about 24 weeks a lot, and I still take it from time to time now... I'm due Friday. 
My doctor said the risks to me and my baby from being so dehydrated and malnourished were far greater than the risks of taking the medicine. My son has looked perfectly healthy at every ultrasound. 
Just keep in mind that lawyers make those commercials- their evidence is an outdated and not peer reviewed study. I'm going to trust my doctor over random lawyers when it comes to my health.

Answer

I took it my entire first pregnancy and have been taking it since 6 weeks with this pregnancy, I'm 14 weeks. It was the only thing that helped me to not vomit.

Answer

I started taking it when I was 4 weeks, I had to go to the hospital because I was so dehydrated and couldn't keep anything down. I'm now 13 weeks and am starting to worry about the whole "birth defect" aspect of it. I've tried to stop taking it but if I go even a day without it I can't keep anything down and can't even leave my house so I've continued to take it. This is my first pregnancy and I just want to make sure i am doing the right thing for my baby. Thank you everyone for the responses!

Answer

I started having this unexplained, severe nausea in October and at the time was given Zofran for it.  Now af is laye and I wondered the same thing.  I researched it and have completely stopped taking it.  It was never fda approved to treat nausea in expectant mothers and studies show that it may cause cleft palate or heart defects. This have even been studied in with ondansetron. However, my ob let me know that if the nausea causes me to get dehydrated or lose alot of weight and I end up being pregnant, that is more dangerous than the drug.  So hopefully I can manage it without the meds

Answer

Yes I started taking it at 9 weeks and after 20 weeks dropped my dose from twice a day to as needed. Best decision I have ever made 👍🏼
