anti nausua drugs while pregnant

opaque1997 · March 2014

Ok - I'm going in for my appt today (9 weeks) - the drugs I took with Emma aren't helping (in fact taking them makes me puke) - I'm not puking so much as constantly sick. I feel like total crap. I've tried acupuncture and it helped - but its hard to get to and it didn't help as much as I'd like for the money / time commtiment. I know I only have (hopefully) 3 more weeks or so of this..

Anyone use prescription drugs when pregnant? Specifically to help the yuck feeling not the puking constantly..? Anyone have experience that wasn't great?

Vitamin B6. Cut it in half and take 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 in the afternoon.

My doc wouldn't prescribe anything when I was pregnant with Nancy and the B6 worked like a charm for me.

Oh I should mention - I'm taking b6 (100 total 50 in the morning + 50 at night) and unisom (half tablet) at night - it helped - but now its not working

My doctor gave me Zofran and that worked out well for me.

I took Zofran but it didn't work nearly as well this time as it did last time. I just kind of muddled my way through it. I hope you feel better soon!

Zofran has been no help to me, in either pregnancy. Unisom (doxylamine, not diphenhydramine) has been a GODSEND. One at night and another half during the day when I needed it in the beginning. I'm 25 weeks and now taking just a half every night - if I don't, I still have minimal morning sickness (lasted a long time in my first pregnancy too). If you haven't tried the unisom, do. But talk to your doctor. And if they don't think that's a good idea or it doesn't work, keep at it until they find something that helps!! GL

I'm on Zofran and I feel like it does practically nothing. McDonald's french fries make me feel better though. Try that.

I was on the unisom (still am right now) - and it helped the first few weeks that it got bad but the last few weeks it hasn't. Was just at the doc and she gave me the zofran - here's to hoping

McDonalds fries and lime tortilla chips do help

As long as they are in my mouth...

I took zofran from like week 6 or 7 on. I was soooo sick. I jUST stopped taking it 3 days ago. Finally feeling better. Some days I was still very sick with it..but better than i would be without it. I'm really glad I got it. Constipation though..YES. I went 10 days without pooping one time. Ugh.

I think I LOVE zofran - got it yesterday and I loved it right away - Just took my 2nd pill. But yes - I can already tell I'm going to have to work on the constipation.. what is it they say - pears, prunes, peaches, peas and .. plums? No applesauce or carrots..

Up the fiber, up the water...
