I have had severe morning sickness for 2 weeks straight I can harldy eat and I was loosing a couple pounds and I was feeling really dizzy. I would wake out of a dead sleep to vomit and never had a second that I didnt feel sick. So my Dr. perscribed me the Ondansetron which I took this morning and I actually didnt throw up I felt alot better in comparison to how I had felt. But I cannot stop thinking about how it is going to effect my baby! Anyone taken this medication? I would love to hear how it worked for you or any other info you might have for me! I have tried all the natural remedies and so that is why they finally gave me the perscription. Help! Thank You

I got food poisoning real bad when I was 6 weeks preggo and I thought I could fight it off myself so I didn't go to the Dr until almost 2 days later and I was soooo dehydrated and couldn't keep ANYTHING down, not even water! So when I got to the ER they put in an iv and gave me 3 bags of fluid and shot some Zofran in my iv too. Instantly I felt better! Zofran is safer than Feneragen(SP?) during pregnancy. So before I was allowed to leave the hospital, I had to eat and drink and hold it down for at least 20 minutes. So they sent me home with some of the Zofran (it melted under your tongue) And I took it in the morning and tried peppermint the rest of the day. If the peppermint didn't work I took another Zofran. My daughter will be 7 weeks old tomm and is perfect! Well besides the fact that I spoiled her and she's Mommy's little princess and to hell with everyone else lol :)

Mostly this occurs, because usually pregnant women aren't included in drug safety studies for obvious reasons. If you are concerned, I would talk further to your doctor.

jmama - 883 days ago Yes but I saw that it has not gone through a human drug trial only through a mice trial. And lots of women I saw said that they are in a lawsuit against the medications company becuase lots of babies where born with odd heart complications. I just wanted to see if anyone else has experience with this medication. Thank You again!
