Zofran pump

My doctor has now suggested I get a zofran pump
Because of my extreme nausea and vomiting. Has anyone had experience with this? I just need advice. I didn’t have to get one last pregnancy.

Avatar

it’s a pump, that administers nausea medication around the clock since I’m now unable to keep anything down. I’m not exactly sure how it works or anything

Omg that sounds like heaven 🙏🏼 I hope it helps!

I didn’t get to use this because it’s not a practice in my state but my dr who is from Florida said that if we were there she would have done that for me. But instead I had to go to the infusion center 3 times a week for zofrain and hydration because of how sick I was finally 21 weeks today and I thank god have been feeling so much better.

They just gave me a bottle and told me to take one whenever I need it 🤔

I wouldn’t personally as someone with hyperemisis cyclic vomiting as well. Ask for Phenegran suppositories it’s has the same risk as zofran but it might just work better for you. Zofran didn’t do anything for me either. Start supplementing magnesium. If that doesn’t do anything for you consider the pump but zofran has a lot of risk involved. If you look at the ER paper sheet of what to do it tells them not to give pregnant women zofran. I took a picture of it last time I was there.

I’ll look more into it. But the phenergan suppository isn’t helping anymore and either is the pill version. I’ve been in the hospital over 3 times for this.

Do your research on zofran. There’s a lot of risks pregnant. I was super nauseous and throwing up like crazy for over 12 weeks and just pushed through cause I didn’t want to take the risk of zofran

oh ok yeah maybe the pump might be a good option. I turned to more a holistic approach but I’m not comfortable sharing that here if you interested you can DM me.

Have you tried the GI Cocktail with lidocaine? It’s numbs your esophagus. That’s what I usually ask for if I end up in the ER.

no I haven’t.

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Leaving baby for date night

How old was your baby the first time you left them for a night alone with your partner or friends? How long did you leave them for and who did you leave them with?
