Frequently asked questions
Is the Morning Sickness IV really worth $245?
Booked piece by piece, the in-home nurse visit alone runs $150 to $200, and a 1L saline drip is another $100 to $125 at most clinics. Add the B-Complex push, B12, and the Nurse Practitioner review, and you are well past $245. Bundled, you get the full pregnancy-safe protocol delivered to your door for one flat price.
How is this different from just getting IV fluids?
Plain saline rehydrates you, but it does not address the B vitamin depletion that comes with repeated vomiting, and it does not replace the B6 that ACOG recognizes as a first-line option for pregnancy nausea. The Morning Sickness IV combines targeted vitamin repletion with hydration in one session, which is why most clients feel meaningfully better the same visit rather than just less thirsty.
Why does this take 45 minutes?
We run the saline at a gentle drip rate on purpose. Pushing fluids too fast when you are already nauseated can make symptoms worse, and slower infusion gives the B vitamins time to circulate without triggering flushing or discomfort. Most clients use the 45 minutes to rest, and many fall asleep before the bag finishes.
Can I get the Morning Sickness IV regularly during pregnancy?
Yes. Many of our pregnancy clients book weekly or twice weekly through the worst stretch of the first trimester, then taper off as symptoms improve. Cadence depends on severity, your OB or midwife guidance, and how you respond to the first session. Our NP can help you build a sensible schedule.
What if I have never had an IV before?
That is true for most of our pregnancy clients. The needle is small and only in for a moment, then it is replaced with a flexible catheter you barely feel. Your nurse stays with you the entire time, monitors how you are doing, and can slow the drip if anything feels off. You are in your own home the whole visit, which most first-timers say makes a real difference.
Do you accept insurance?
IV therapy is typically not covered by insurance, including for pregnancy. Ians IV accepts HSA and FSA cards, which most pregnancy clients use, along with cash and all major credit cards. We can provide an itemized receipt if you want to submit for reimbursement on your own.
Why Ians IV for Your Morning Sickness IV?
NP review on every pregnancy treatment
Pregnancy IVs are not handed off to a checklist. A Nurse Practitioner personally reviews your case and authorizes the protocol before your nurse arrives. If anything looks off, we adjust or refer before we treat.
Pregnancy-safe formulation, no guesswork
The Morning Sickness IV is built specifically for expecting moms. No herbal stimulants, no high-dose vitamin C, no ingredients that have not been vetted for pregnancy. Just hydration, B-Complex, and B12 at appropriate doses.
We come to you
Driving to a clinic with morning sickness is its own form of suffering. Stay on your couch or in bed. Our licensed nurses bring everything needed and clean up before they leave, so the only thing you have to do is rest.
Who Books a Morning Sickness IV?
Weeks 6 through 14 are often the hardest. Every sip of water comes back up, and the thought of food is worse. A 1L saline drip with B-Complex and B12 bypasses the stomach entirely, so hydration and nutrient repletion happen even when nothing is staying down. Most clients feel meaningfully better before the bag finishes.
You cannot cancel the workday, but you also cannot function nauseated and depleted. The Morning Sickness IV runs in 45 minutes in your own home or office. B12 supports energy without caffeine, saline restores volume, and you can be back at your desk the same morning, looking and feeling like yourself.
Hyperemesis or persistent nausea hits harder when you are also chasing a toddler. Driving to a clinic with kids in tow is not realistic. A nurse comes to your couch, the NP reviews everything in advance, and you can rest while the IV runs. Many repeat clients book weekly through the worst stretch of the first trimester.
If your provider has flagged dehydration, low urine output, or weight loss from vomiting, oral fluids may not be enough. IV saline restores plasma volume in under an hour, and B vitamins help correct the deficiencies that come with prolonged vomiting. We coordinate with your OB or midwife if you want us to.
Visiting family, traveling for work, or new to Orange County and not yet established with an OB. You still need pregnancy-safe relief now. Ians IV brings the treatment to wherever you are staying, with NP oversight built into every appointment so you are never guessing whether something is safe.

NP reviews and approves your treatment
Every pregnancy IV is reviewed and authorized by a Nurse Practitioner before your nurse arrives. Nothing is administered without clinical sign-off, which matters most during pregnancy.
Nurse arrives. 45 minutes start to finish
Your nurse sets up at your home, places the IV, and stays with you for the full session. The 45-minute drip rate keeps the saline gentle on your system, which is especially important when nausea is active.

Full Ingredients Breakdown
| Name | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Normal Saline (1L) | The foundation of this IV. Pregnancy increases blood volume demands by up to 50 percent, and vomiting depletes that volume fast. A liter of isotonic saline restores plasma volume directly, which often relieves the dizziness, headache, and fatigue that come with dehydration before the bag is even finished. |
| B-Complex (full spectrum) | Includes B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6. Vitamin B6 in particular is the most studied nutrient for pregnancy-related nausea and is recommended by ACOG as a first-line option. The full B-Complex also supports cellular energy production and helps replace water-soluble vitamins lost through vomiting. |
| Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) | Delivered in its active methylated form, B12 supports red blood cell production, neurological function, and steady energy without the crash of caffeine or sugar. Pregnant women have higher B12 demands, and oral absorption is unreliable when nausea is constant, so IV delivery ensures the dose actually reaches circulation. |
