Pros
- I have a whole box of Zofran leftover from my c-section. I had completely forgotten about it. Thank you for reminding me!

- I did need Zofran as well. Together those kept me from throwing up
- And then of course Zofran lol
- before zofran there were many nights i was sobbing on my bathroom floor and i was terrified of eating. i was already harming my baby by limiting food intake!
Cons
- It was the Zofran, Zofran has warnings it will cause constipation
- About 2-3 weeks ago I was prescribed zofran which has helped a lot with the nausea, but I have been SO constipated!!!
- Unisom/B6 did nothing for me, neither did zofran.
- My doc said that it works better than zofran.
- Tried ginger ale, zofran, nausea bands, eating smaller meals frequently vs 3 big meals a day, tried short walks for fresh air, tried smelling shredded ginger, tried just about everything you can name it.

I've had severe nausea this pregnancy and started taking Zofran at 7 weeks. Zofran theoretically has a risk of birth defects if given in the first trimester, but 1) other studies show it's actually safe and 2) I was in such a horrible state that I HAD to do something to escape the nausea.

I’m so sick I barely leave the house and I feel like the only place I could have caught Covid was when I went to cvs to pick up my Zofran prescription 😭
