The first day I threw up I asked for it (had felt lousy for a week before that and it was lasting all day and all night) but it didn't work and my RE wouldn't give me anything stronger. At 8 weeks :preg I transferred to an OB and she gave me meds that changed my life, lol. They didn't stop me throwing up totally and I had to take them in combination with other meds but I could half function again. Honestly, if you need meds, don't feel bad. Morning sickness can be truly horrendous. Hope you feel better soon

Ugh, I am so sorry...I can't even imagine going through morning sickness while taking care of a kid, so, major props to you. I asked about it at my first ultrasound appt which was around 5 weeks or so (was IVF so I had early appts). It didn't magically take away my misery (was still pretty awful) but it took the edge off. I definitely wouldn't hesitate to ask!

I took Unisom + B6 for awhile and it helped w/the constant nausea. Once I started actually throwing up and missed a day of work, I called the doctor for Zofran.

I took b6 for a while on the advice of my dr but never got a prescription. I puked all the time for about 10 weeks.

I didn't ask; my OB asked how I was feeling at my first appointment and I told her that I had just spent a 2 hour flight puking into an airsick bag and she wrote me an Rx for Zofran right then and there.

I'd ask personally as soon as your feel crappy. Women have been using zofran for decades (and it's used all the time to control nausea associated with other conditions); it's safe. Plus there is no guarantee that you'll feel better in a few weeks!

I asked for it probably around 8 weeks. I couldn't survive anymore.

I would just ask if it's preventing you from functioning. Have you tried anything over the counter though? Like unisom or emetrol in the meantime?

I got Zofran at 5 weeks but had been doing unisom and b6 for a week or so before that. Even with both, I am still nauseous pretty much constantly, but without it, I am unfunctional. I don't throw up much,but this nausea is debilitating.

I would ask. Feel better!!

Right when I puked. Throwing up gives me migraines so I had to get it under control quickly.

I'm gonna mail you a package

I asked for it at my initial appointment because I was nauseous almost immediately.

I'm pregnant with LO#2 and I have a toddler. I would not be functional at all at work or at home without medicine.

I got a prescription for zofran at my first appointment at 6 weeks. I was horribly nauseous until I was about 18 weeks. I work in elementary education, and wouldn't be able to make a restroom run at a moments notice, so it was a must.

@deerylou: yeah, even being a teacher wouldn't get me a prescription!

@BabyBoecksMom: I asked for it at 6 weeks when I was feeling sick, but not throwing up.. Unfortunately I was in Japan and they don't believe in anti nausea meds, so I was given some weird Chinese herbs that were nasty and didn't work.. I puked every day from 8-16 weeks..

It was given to me when at sometime around 11 weeks I was so dehydrated from throwing up, I had to go to the hospital and get an IV. That was after 2 months straight of not being able to function, get out of bed, care for my toddler, prepare or eat food, drink water, or even shower without passing out/ vomiting. I'm still on it at 16.5 weeks, it's no magic bullet and just makes me throw up a bit less- severe nausea remains untouched. I don't have MS though, I have HG.
