Phenergan

My doc prescribed 25 mg Promethazine (generic Phenergan) bc I can't get a handle on my nausea. It's starting to interfere with working. I've not seen you ladies talk about taking this. I know if my doctor prescribed it it's more than likely fine. I'm just a little concerned just bc I wasn't prescribed it last pg and haven't seen anyone really mention it here. Thoughts?

    If your doctor prescribed it for you, then should be fine.  Each pregnancy is different so I wouldn't compare to last time necessarily

    I took it with my first pregnancy. It helped a lot but made me very tired.

    I took it between weeks 5-7 as needed. My body was extremely sensitive and I couldn't even get out of bed. Since then my ultrasounds and checkups have been healthy, and I haven't taken it since. I did try Diclegis before Phenergan and it didn't help me at all.

    I was prescribed this, but refused to take it. I may not be a doctor, (the woman who prescribed it was not either though, she is a NP) but the research I did on the med didn't sit well with me. I'm now in my third tri (I still suffer from MS) and found half a pill of unisom 2x a day with a b6 works best. I could also not be on something that would knock me out that hard. I have a 5 year old to care for and I'm a
    Stay at home mother. Many of these ladies are right and sometimes benefit outweighs risk, talk to your doc more if you still have concerns, see if there are other options.

    I've used it in more than one of my pregnancies and have all healthy babies.
    ETA- it did make me sleepy though.

    Well for anyone else looking at this post... I took it for the first time last night and was up for an hour puking acid. It was terrible. Magnified my nausea x100. Guess it's not for me.

    I took that once before I was pregnant.  Took it around 7pm.  Slept until 6am.  Called into work.  Slept until noon.  Ate.  Slept until 4.

    Obviously I can't take it and function.

    I would definitely recommend researching any drug before you take it. I researched zofran and phenergan and said absolutely not. They're both linked to known birth defects. Zofran is a cat-b drug and phenergan is a cat-c.
