How long for Ondansetron to work?

Hi ladies,
I've been prescribed ondansetron as second line therapy for HG.
How long did you find it took for it to make a meaningful improvement in how you felt? X

For me it starts working after 30 mins of taking it and will last me a good few hours. I take it when i wake up, just before lunch and then just after my tea. I’ve also been not eating anything too acidic to try and help with reflux feelings. Ondansatron is the only medication that’s worked for me, ive finally been able to eat and feel more normal. I really hope it helps you x

thanks Melissa, that's really encouraging to hear. I took my first dose at 3pm today and have felt a bit better already so wasn't sure if it was a placebo response! X

Oh I felt immediate improvement as I had the dissolvable ones but long term it helped gradually trying to find the right dose and how often to take it and finding my own response to the medication. I ended up taking it with xonvea and that was a dream team for me

My whole pregnancy for 5 1/2 months I was on the Zofran pump and it helped keep my food down and I was able to eat a lot of wonderful things then I graduated from the pump and I went to just taking the pill. Be honest through my whole pregnancy I was just sick . I don’t think any medicines gonna make help us 100% but it did help me 80% in my pregnancy. Had some setbacks, but it did help.

Hope you’re feeling better
I took Ondanestron my whole pregnancy from 7 weeks right up until I gave birth to a happy healthy 9lb 6 boy! So don’t let anyone scare monger you about the tablets! They saved my life to be honest xxx

thanks for sharing- that's really encouraging to hear. Doctors (and midwives in particular) are big on scaremongering unfortunately xxx

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.
