How Does Something So Little Create Such Havoc on My Body?

Please don't tell me, " awwhh this is all part of pregnancy, we've all done it", because I might just punch you in the face! That is almost what the MALE doctor told me today when I came into the clinic looking for some relief. I didn't just pay $50 to be told to "suck it up". I've got to function tomarrow at work. I can't afford to miss work for the next 6 weeks. Before he sent me away I told him that he could give me Zofran and that lots of women take it for nausea and vomiting. After explaining to me that this drug falls into this category and they don't know the effects, but it hasn't shown any effects thus far yadda yadda ya. He says "let me call the OB dr. on call". I thought to myself, yeah you go do that. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to just numb myself, but I can't work feeling like this. I plan on only taking it on the three days I have to work. The other days I can curl up in the fetal position on the couch all day. Needless to say, he returns with a script for Zofran and says "the dr. said they prescribe this all the time". I knew that. So I'm testing it out today before I work because one the side effects is drowziness. I pray to God this works, otherwise I have a loooonnnngggg 9 months ahead of me.
