More than half of all pregnant women deal with morning sickness. For some, it gets so bad, medication is necessary.

Now new research in the New England Journal of Medicine is reassuring many women who take Ondansetron, also known as Zofran.

A study of more than 600,000 women in Denmark finds no link between taking the drug during pregnancy and an increased risk of stillbirth, preterm birth, birth defects or having a small baby.

The FDA is also reviewing the drug to see if it can affect a pregnant mom's heart rhythm.
