Questions & Answers

I only had it for a couple weeks so a doctor in the emergency department gave me a small amount prescription of anti-nausea meds (zofran in my case but there's a couple different ones that are safe)

Keep in mind that they do screen you for drugs when you go into the hospital to deliver, so unless you want social services showing up at your door, I wouldn't take any sort of street drug or abuse any prescription pills. I had a false + for benzoids when I was pregnant with my first. Dealing with social services & clearing my name was NOT how I wanted to spend my first days with my daughter.

Anyway, I know this is someone else's QUESTION and she wanted advice, not to be given illegal advice. So I have some to offer as I have been having the same problem, I've been reading a lot of natural ways to help it and a lot of people say peppermints, so I am going to try some, I will let you know how that goes. I am going to try eating the types of things I found online that is supposed to help, sometimes cravings are not the answer!! LOL my last pregnancy I ate a lot of things I craved and ended up throwing up shortly after. Try to think of something you can tolerate eating, that is healthy, most of the time healthy things won't make you throw up, but sometimes that's not the case, my last pregnancy every time I ate any type of fruit the acidic juices would make me throw up, and tomatoes, ketchup, anything containing tomatoes. It might take a while to get used to what makes you sick and what doesn't, and you may not always be in the mood for the things that don't make you sick..

I'm silly sick with all my pregnancies and they say it's worse with each one. Dr's don't hesitate to put me on Cyclizine after I landed in hospital with dehydration last time. Been on it since 6 weeks and still am although I'm down to twice a day now.
Hydration is more important then food so experiment with fluids, I found I couldn't keep just water down so I drank watered down OJ and flat diet lemonade. Try to take supplements before you sleep as its easier to sleep through the nausea.
hope this helps and that you feel better soon.

And that might even change as time goes on. I found a good site about a lot of ways to help with the sickness. http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/pregnancy-childbirth/second-month/morning-sickness/24-ways-ease-morning-sickness :) Hope that will help. I am going to try all these tips.

lol have a good day darling MUAH

Ok, how would you know that smoking cannabis in the early stages of pregnancy does nothing at all to your baby?? LOL you must be a scientist who studies this right?? And why wouldn't someone take something that's been prescribed to thousands of women for morning sickness?? That's been done way more testing on? At least taking something that is prescribed to you is not illegal!! It's funny how you say only in your early pregnancy have you smoked it because you know you could get in trouble for it later on, LOL well that's funny, so it's only okay when the doctors don't know about it. And by the way I live in Canada too!! As if that makes a difference!!

U might wanna look up the definition of prescription. Just becuz u dont walk in to a pharmacy and pick it up, doesnt mean that a physician didnt have to order the administration of it to/for u. Hence, prescription drug.

I really couldnt care less what u chose to do/did, or who grows/does the crap. I dont live in a bubble and Im far from being an idiot, so dont try to break ur petty shit down for me, and dont blame my beliefs (or anyone else's for that matter) on Reagan. U posted ur comment and made it known that it was ur opinion and not many would agree, then as soon as a cpl ppl dont jump on ur wagon, u lash out and start calling everyone uneducated and brainwashed. Seriously, she asked a f*cking question, u gave an answer, multiple times...move the f*ck on!

As for my language, bite me!

Wow, this question blew up outta nowhere. Don't trust prescription medication but by all means feel free to take something grown in a basement or backyard, by a complete stranger, then laced with God knows what and sold to u on a dirty street corner by some wanna-be gansta thug...all becuz the FDA found evidence of side effects on Zofran. Excellent advice! What a f*cking joke!

Seneka, please dont be this stupid (which I know u arent). It is NOT "fine in the early months when lungs have yet to develop." Someone needs to educate themselves on just how early the upper and lower respiratory tract starts developing. Week 4, embryonic stage. What an ignorant way to justify and up sell smoking pot while pregnant.

Stick with what ur doctor suggests. Canadian doctors are NOT ok with preg women smoking pot to relieve nausea any more than American doctors are, I call BS on that one!

ps...you'd be surprised who grows and sells it and even smokes it. It's not just dirty street gangs. Professionals in high positions, teachers, etc. Anyhow, I'm done talking about this with people who don't understand it. I get why you feel angry about what I'm saying. People get upset about things they don't understand. Human nature.
