What do people get prescribed for morning sickness?

[quickstepstar]

Our nanny is newly pregnant and has horrible morning sickness, so much so that she is loosing weight and hasn't eaten in a week. I know some people actually get medication for this -- what is it called? I want to tell her, since she doesn't speak English well (or almost at all) and this would help her explain to the doctor what she needs.

My doc prescribed me Reglan.

She can also try plain Unisom and a vitamin B6 supplement if she wants to try something OTC first. My doctor wanted me to try that before Zofran.

Most doctors aren't prescribing Zofran anymore due to the controversy around it. This pregnancy I was prescribed both Reglan and Phenergan.

I was prescribed Diclegis which is now FDA approved for pregnancy.

Unisom helps me. Buy her a box at CVS.

I've scanned some headlines about Zoloft concerns but what is bein said about zofran?

It made a world of difference for me with my second. But definitely take it with colace.

Zofran. And my MFM is still prescribing it.

There are lawsuits out there claiming it causes birth defects. Based on the comments I've heard from providers, there isn't a whole lot of proof to the allegations, but obviously they want to protect themselves from from stuff like that. 

I took it with my first pregnancy until I was 20 weeks and it made a huge difference for me as well.

I actually took phenergan but I don't think that is as common as zofran.

[Saudade]

If she is losing weight and hasn't eaten in a week she needs to see her provider.

A friend of mine took diclegis and it was a big help

Diclegis made a big difference for me.

With my first pregnancy, I got zofran after constant sickness and losing weight. In hindsight, I wish I had asked for some help sooner. WRT Zofran I'd do a little research first, but wouldn't take it off the table until I found compelling evidence against it...

[sjh722]

I took diclegis.

[gibbinator]

I got diclectin but I think it's the Canadian brand since I've only seen my fellow Canadians mention it.

This. Tried zofran first and I didn't help and just made me constipated and feel worse. Pheneegan worked much better.

Diclectin in Canada = Diclegis in the US

I took Diclectin and it helped sooooooo much.

[rosiedozie]

Another ditto for Diclegis. It's Class A and has really helped me.
