after my "exam", we went into the office. we talked about my constant nausea and vomiting. he said just to continue drinking water... and i said "no! ZOFRAN!".... he said that he wondered how i knew what that was... ha ha.. i'm a smart cookie. zofran was developed for chemo patients and their nausea and vomiting, but FDA approved for morning sickness as well. so i got my scrip.. and these little pills (40 dollars each normally) were fully covered by insurance. yayyyy!
then i was scheduled for a dating ultrasound, in which they tell me how far along i really am. that was for 3 hours later.
with a full bladder, we drive to the imaging center. after a short wait, a perky little blonde calls us back. she was completely sweet and took her time. when i asked how many pics they printed out, she said that they dont print them out there. :( POOP. but she did allow me to take a couple with my cell phone which was awesome.
she said everything looked great! i'm measuring where i'm supposed to! 10 weeks, 1 day. baby looks great. i'm so excited! we saw the little heartbeat flickering on the screen, nice and healthy!
back at home. EXHAUSTING day of errands, cooking, and cleaning. the zofran makes me a little sleepy, but it's definitely helping with the nausea. i feel it EVER SO SLIGHTLY for a min or so at a time, but i feel 90% better!
My sister took Zofran and it seemed to help her until she ended back up in the hospital twice after being on it for a month, and at that time she had already been diagonalized with hyperemesis. She went down to like 80lbs. I hope it works for you and that little peanut is so cute!!!!
