I cannot wait until my belly is baby instead of chub and bloat.

So I have a massage in about an hour which I've been desperately looking forward to. And I'm totally afraid I might throw up during it Not really sure how to deal with that....

I slept horrible last night I tossed and turned from 11-4, got up to pee and then was up until 5:00ish, woke up at 6:00 to take zofran and then DH woke me up at 6:50 right before my alarm went off at 7:00 I felt like crap when I got up.

So I haven't done my research, so I simply do not know. And I'm NOT in any way shape or form criticizing you or anyone else, but why are they still prescribing zofran? Isn't that the drug there are commercials about birth defects?

I'm not krl52014, but there's been research showing it's probably safe once you're past or close to 10 weeks. And in cases where the patient truly has a lot of nausea, the benefits of taking it outweigh the risks. I would be begging for it myself if I weren't severely allergic.

My doctor said she has never seen any kind of birth defect from zofran and she has been delivering babies for a looong time. She said a lot of her patients take it still.

They did have me try Diclegis first to see if that worked.

I had a get together today with some of the ladies from my old Bmb. One I'd lmet before and 2 I hadn't. After 2 1/2 years it was nice to finally meet more. So much fun!

I went to a concert on Wednesday with a girl I met through my BMB. I really love the genuine friendships that can develop out of this community.

My doctor said it was one very small study that showed a possibility of birth defects, so she seemed fairly unconcerned. Also the 10 weeks thing. Diclegis had something similar happen back when it was first used in the 70s. One small study showed it could cause problems and everyone panicked. Now it's back and shown to be safe.

Not quoting since a few of you responded, but thanks for the info! I just didn't know. Obviously doctors are still prescribing it, I just see the commercials a lot so I wasn't sure what the deal was. And like I said, hadn't done any research to see the specifics.

I think the commercials are put out by lawyers who are trying to make a few bucks, so I trust my dr over that.

My mysterious rash is back :/ I had these awful bright red splotchy spots all over my belly, hips and thighs with DS from 16 weeks until 2 weeks after I delivered. I saw three different OBs and 2 derms to determine what the rash was and no one knew for certain. Just said it was caused by hormones. It doesn't itch, thank goodness.
