I'm currently pregnant and was wondering about taking Ondansetron for nausea and vomiting. Is it safe for me and the baby, and are there any potential side effects I should be aware of? Also, would it really help with the vomiting? I'm feeling a bit worried and just looking for some guidance.

Question

I'm kind of worried because my friend had unprotected sex with her boyfriend yesterday around 5 pm. Here's what's making her nervous her boyfriend masturbated and ejaculated first, and then just a few minutes later, like 3 to 5 minutes, they had sex. He wiped off his penis with a cloth before they did it, and this time he didnt ejaculate during or after sex. But she's freaked out there could be a chance of getting pregnant because of potential pre-cum. She's debating whether she should take the i-pill, but isn't sure if it's necessary. If she does take it, what should she expect in terms of side effects? It's her first time dealing with all this.
