Rave: My OB's office & Dissolvable Zofran

in Pregnant after 35
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my OB's office. Except for the one crepe-hanging nurse there, they are all AWESOME. When I had my CP and was miscarrying-- at work, mind you-- the doc on call whom I had never dealt with before called me back after business hours to tell me that my beta confirmed the miscarriage and spent 15 minutes on the phone with me, encouraging me and being completely understanding of the hot mess I was.

Then, after a day of hell yesterday-- my 4th 12 hour day this week with almost no time off in between shifts; multiple traumas that came to us in the ICU; 2 patients who coded at the same time after one of them pulled out the breathing tube keeping him alive; constant vomiting the entire shift, many times in the middle of talking to a doctor about emergency interventions at the patient's bedside-- I broke down and called the OB's office today for Zofran (my hospital's employee pharmacy is closed on the weekends, the jerks). Another OB I've never met before called me back within 20 minutes and not only quickly assessed my situation, she also totally understood my predicament-- I have to work tomorrow and I can't always get to the employee pharmacy during my busy shifts. She prescribed me more than enough dissolving tablet Zofrans (yay! I choke on even tiny pills), but she sent a prescription to the employee pharmacy with refills so I have enough Zofran to get me through today as well as tomorrow's shift and don't have to try and also get a phone call in to the office again for later this week.

I big, puffy heart my OB... I just had to share. MH doesn't understand my elation...

    I get this. Yes to your ob's office. The one day I was puking my guts out long after there was nothing left to expel, could not keep water down, had a horrible migraine, and seriously wanted to die, the ob herself called me at home at 6:30 PM on a Friday to assess what was happening and immediately called in a suppository anti-nausea med to my local pharmacy. I felt light-years better by 8:30. I have never been so grateful for medical intervention in my life. I briefly considered naming the baby after her.

    This just made my night!

    I'm just glad that I have the Zofran for this week-- I have a Wiggles concert in Boston to go to on Thursday night! Now if I can only steal a foley catheter from work for the ride down, the concert, and the ride back!  Stick out tongue

    Given your job, you totally could! Wink (Although getting fired would suck.) Or there's always the old-fashioned pull-over-and-run-behind-a-tree-with-some Kleenex, which I have not been forced to do...YET.

    That's awesome!  Are they going to give you more to get you through the rest of the 1T?

    I actually know 2 ladies who took Zofran throughout their entire pregnancies, because the nausea never went away.  I'm sure you won't be like them, but I'm just telling you that so you can be assured it's safe.

    Has it made you constipated at all? I'm trying the motion sickness wrist bands because I can't stand not pooping for this long!  (Sorry for the TMI)
