Comments on: Brought To You by the Letter Z. http://flotsamblog.com/2007/10/10/brought-to-you-by-the-letter-z/ Deplorable solipsism? The new face of literature? Or merely a clever procrastination device...

Then I noticed one day I was still wearing them as I was bent over the toilet, moaning, as my abdomen was contracting getting ready to expel something else. Glad the Zofran is working for you. You must feel awful--I have only one and feel awful. Your story makes me want to go get some. I have a cold now, on top of constant nausea and frequent puking. It actually makes me want something a hell of a lot stronger than Zofran... I got some Versed with my D&C which I keep remembering lovingly, but no one seems willing to give me that. In the mean time, I am subsisting on apple juice, apple sauce, and cream-of-wheat (these all feel about the same coming up as going down--not so bad!)

There's a long road of this type of anxiety ahead. It's still worth it, though. And also, consider acupuncture. Please? Really. It will very likely help. While I have not taken Zofran, it's my understanding from a friend, that while it keeps the puking at bay (hooray) it doesn't entirely halt the nausea (phooey).

I THOUGHT WE HAD A DEAL.

Be the happiest, best feeling vessel for those babies and let the rest roll off your back. I've been waiting with bated breath for this post. So glad to hear that you are getting the vomiting in check. I have to agree, suffering gets no one anywhere. Be the happiest, best feeling vessel for those babies and let the rest roll off your back.

Throwing up is totally the worst thing ever. I would go to great lengths to avoid vomiting, even if I KNOW it will make me feel better afterwards, let alone if I knew that it WOULDN'T. Good luck for the scan! :) Landing yourself in the hospital with dehydration will CERTAINLY be worse for the dear little Science Babies than Zofran, so please don’t feel guilty!

Just think of Charlotte Bronte. I had no idea that's how she met her end. (I loved Jane Eyre but I guess I didn't ever read enough about Charlotte's life and early demise). I'm sure, as the others have said, that they wouldn't be giving you Zofran unless they felt it was safe for your babies! But I totally identify with your "damned if you do damned if you don't" fears. You take the medication to stop the vomiting and then worry that you're not vomiting! That would be me exactly. Don’t feel guilty taking the medication. Just think of Charlotte Bronte.

I had that with my twins and had to take something as well. I worried about it a lot at the time. Now I just think, wow they were frozen for six months, if that's not bad for them some anti-nausea drugs can't hurt. Hope that the nausea doesn't last to long.
