Hi! I went to a new OB yesterday who, I was told, knows a lot about HG b/c she suffered through it herself. She told me I could safely take steroids (Methylprednilosone). When picking it up from the pharmacy, the pharmacist scared me and said that it has shown to cause malformations in rat babies. Then I looked on the internet and saw that it shouldn't be taken by pregnant moms before 10 wks. I'm now 6 wks pg. I've put in a call to discuss with her but the nurse said she didn't know when she'd be able to call... that it may even be tomorrow. I was wondering if any of you who have discussed this med with your dr. has said anything like this.
I'm currently taking 16 mg Zofran a day and 12.5 mg of Phenergan only at night b/c it makes me so sleepy. That seems to be working pretty good at night but when the Phenergan wears off, I'm back to the nausea again. Does Unisom make you as sleepy as Phenergan? I'm wondering if I should try that combo. Is there another med to take with Zofran during the day (doesn't make you sleepy) that controls nausea?
Sorry this is so long. I appreciate any advice!
