I have m/s like crazy since I have been 6w2d I am currently 7w5d........ The doctor prescribed me ondansetron. I took it once on one of the really bad days....but DH and I talked about it and the medicine is originally for radiation/chemo patients to help with being sick. I know it should be safe if the doctor prescribed it but I still have reservations.
Recently I felt absolutely miserable and drank a soda during an episode of nausea and it made me feel SOOO much better. Since Labor Day it was probably soda number 4 (which is really good for me). But I feel so guilty for drinking it!! Any thoughts? Has anybody else been prescribed ondansetron and had a healthy baby?
I'm so tired of being sick! I have heard that m/s is a sign that the baby is healthy...how much truth is in that? If so maybe I'll just tough it out and move my pillow and blanket to the bathroom!
Re: caffeine, m/s questions......
Is it possible it was the sugar that made you feel better and not the caffeine?
I was feeling really sick about 2 weeks ago and my SIL handed me a nutrigrain bar. I immediately felt better and she said for both pregnancies, if she got low on sugar she would feel like crap.
ditto. I had m/s all the way through labor (including getting put in the hospital for it) with my daughter and took it a lot. She is a healthy happy almost 5 year old. It's an amazing drug. not that you should make yourself take it if you don't need it but there's no point in being sick and miserable if you don't have to.
