Zofran for Morning sickness!?

Question

So my morning sickness is literally all day now! I'm beside myself sick! I've tried B6 vitamins, maxolon and have just been prescribed Zofran 4mg tablets! I have taken one and i feel SO much better!

However I have seen a lot of conflicting info about it on google! Who has taken it and do you think it's safe?

I'm 7 weeks with twins

Answer

I lost 25 pounds with my pregnancy. I took it after 9-10 weeks at which point all the damage had already been done from puking so much but I know it does have some negative side effects but if you can't keep anything down and the hyperemesis is so debilitating you have to take it. It not only is a risk to you but to your unborn child when you can't even keep water down. I just tried not telling people I was taking it unless they told me they took it because some people are such shit talkers and put you down so much for it. They try to say "oh mine was bad and I didn't need to take it" ... try puking all day and your hands start shaking from not having anything in your system and working full time. Gosh it's making me mad even now thinking what stupid stuff people would say

Answer

I had hyperemesis gravidarum and couldn't be prescribed till 11 weeks but it was a life saver! I had lost 22 lbs from 5-11weeks and was so worried about the effects it might have on baby. I just recently got off zofran a few days ago because now i just need to eat every few hrs even in the middle of the night and I'm good to go. I'm 17weeks now.

Answer

This is the third pregnancy that I've taken it. The conflicting information is scary but I asked the doctor about it. They just laughed out off and said that it's still one of the safest things to take. It saved me big time with my first two and got me through this time until I could get diclegis. That one works better for me but I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Zofran for a second.
