7 weeks tomorrow, finally some relief....


Well the Zofran from Dr. Rao stopped working. I have felt miserable ALL WEEK and could barely function at work. I worked 2 hours on Tuesday and 3 hours on Wednesday. Yesterday was my first day to complete a full work day and I don't know how I did it...... I was miserable with extreme nausea. I called Dr. Rao and she prescribed me 2 other medications (there are 3 that are safe for pregnancy and the first did nothing for me other than give me horrible migraines). I am now on Reglan every 6 hours, and Phenergan every 6 hours. It usually hits between 9:30-12:30 everyday while I'm at work. I end up laying my head on my desk and end up almost in tears praying it will go away. Today is the first day in 2 weeks I've felt any sort of relief from it all. It is now 11:10 and my stomach started growling and my appetite reappeared. I just ate a chicken biscuit, some fuit and am sipping on a G2 Lemon Lime Gatorade. Please pray that these new options work for me and I don't suffer any longer!


Here is a picture of these dorky sea-bands I've been wearing. They are sold at Walgreens to prevent sea sickness/motion sickness and have also been proven to help pregnant women with severe morning sickness. The white plastic piece on the band is rounded underneath and presses on your accupressure point to prevent nausea. Although I look like I'm ready to go work out with these 2 grey sweat bands on my wrists (yes, at work) they are helping so I don't care HOW I look at this point. haha

  1. I think those bands would be even cooler is they were neon colors. You could get neon green and neon pink and wear them with your new kids on the block shirt and safety patrol belt. I'm glad you are feeling better!!!! Miss you love you!! - Jamie
