WENT to my doctor yesterday, im having severe nausea, no vomitting. She told me that ZOFRAN is usually prescribed for nausea and vomitting during pregnancy but is PROVEN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS. just letting other mothers know before they are put on it or if you are ALREADY on it. she prescribed me Promethazine instead.
Exact same reason why I refuse to take it I have horrible all day sickness. Be strong momma !!!
I drank lemon water or ginger ale and had preggie pops and mints ALWAYS. thats what helped my nausea.
thank you, i really dont even want to take anything . got the prometh yesterday and probably wont take it.
My doc gave me Promethazine too. The only draw back was it made me sleepy. I got some preggie pops the other day. They are pretty good!
There is one study that was just published this year that shows some dangers, it's not proven and as @alexinwonderland said if it was proven the FDA wouldn't allow it and doctor's wouldn't prescribe it. In fact there are numerous other studies that contradict the latter's findings published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. You can choose to take what you want of course.
I took Zofran in the begging. Baby is doing wonderfully. It is not PROVEN to cause birth defects, the FDA would not allow it on the market if it was.
yes thats what i did at first peppermint it worked for me. but i was tired of popping them.
Very true, I opted out of meds just in case for that reason! I looked it up online and decided to not even ask for it.
i know, im off from my job right now i cant go back until i have papers signed and im scared they wont let me back because of the promethazine
If you are that worried don't take them. I only took the Zofran after multiple hospitalizations for dehydration and hyperemesis. Preggie pops and gingy candies can help.
