Morning Sickness
When you can't keep anything down. The nausea settles so you can eat, drink and feel like yourself.
A full liter of fluids with Zofran for the nausea, B6, Benadryl and magnesium. Book it when the nausea has gone on for days, when you're losing weight you can't afford to lose, or when you're too sick to drink and getting dizzy. OB clearance is required before your first visit, and this drip is not a substitute for prenatal medical care.
You can't rehydrate or eat when nothing stays down. This bag settles that first.
Morning sickness that lasts all day dries you out, and then the nausea stops you from drinking the one thing that would help. Every day it goes on, you fall further behind.
Morning Sickness breaks that loop. Zofran settles the nausea, a liter of fluids goes in without touching your stomach, B6 supports both energy and the queasiness, Benadryl helps you rest, and magnesium eases the cramping.
Your OB clears you first, every time. This is support alongside prenatal care, never instead of it.
What each ingredient does for you.
Fluids first, because days of nausea leave you dry. Then the medicine that lets them stay, and three things that help you rest and recover.
When you've been sick for days, you're short on water and salt together, which is the dizziness and the weakness on top of the nausea. Lactated ringers puts a liter back with sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride, straight into your blood, so it works even when your stomach won't accept a sip.
Zofran (ondansetron) is the nausea medicine most OBs prescribe for severe morning sickness, given here in the IV so it works even when you can't keep a pill down. It quiets the signal that keeps sending everything back up. With that settled, you can start eating and drinking again after you leave.
B6 is the vitamin most OBs recommend first for pregnancy nausea, and it also helps your body turn food into energy, which you need when you haven't been able to eat. In the IV it reaches your blood without going through a stomach that won't cooperate.
Diphenhydramine helps with nausea in its own right and is widely used in pregnancy. At this dose most people get drowsy, which after days of being sick is the point. Plan on a ride home or book the mobile nurse.
Being sick pulls magnesium out of you, and pregnancy raises what you need. Low magnesium shows up as leg cramps and a cramping gut. Lactated ringers doesn't carry any, so it's added here. It supports normal muscle and nerve function, which you feel as the cramping letting go.
Not sure Morning Sickness is the one? These might fit better.
Morning Sickness is for the weeks you can't keep anything down, with your OB in the loop. If the nausea has passed but the exhaustion hasn't, or you're not pregnant, these three are the usual next stops.

Questions about the Morning Sickness drip.
Do I need OB clearance?
Yes. OB clearance is required before your first visit. Bring it to your free intro or have your OB's office send it over. This drip is not a substitute for prenatal medical care, and if your nausea is severe or you're losing weight, your OB needs to know.
How long does Morning Sickness take?
Most visits take about 30 to 45 minutes in a quiet, dim chair. Plan on a few extra minutes at check-in, and bring a ride if you can, since the Benadryl makes most people drowsy.
Can I walk in for Morning Sickness?
Once you've been in before and your OB clearance is on file, yes. New clients start with a free 10 minute intro so a nurse can review your health history. If you're too sick to come in, book the mobile nurse instead.
How is Morning Sickness different from Stomach Bug?
B6, and who it's for. Both carry a liter of fluids, Zofran, Benadryl and magnesium. Morning Sickness adds B6, the vitamin OBs recommend first for pregnancy nausea, and requires OB clearance. If you're pregnant, this is the one. If it's a bug, Stomach Bug.
Can I get Morning Sickness at home?
Yes, and for this drip most moms should. Our mobile concierge brings it to your home anywhere in the Birmingham area for a $50 travel fee, so you don't have to drive while sick.
Can I add anything to it?
Possibly. Because you're pregnant, your nurse will check any add-in or booster against your OB clearance first.
Can my doctor see exactly what is in it?
Yes, and your OB should. Every ingredient and dose is listed on this page, so you can show it to your own doctor. You, or your doctor, can ask our nurse or doctor anything, any time. Just call us at (205) 210-9797.
