Question morning sickness??

I am 10 weeks pregnant and have had awful m/s for the last 4 wks. I have tried everything from saltine crackers to gingerale and nothing seems to help. My Doctor prescribed premesis , it seemed like it helped for a while and then just got worse. He has now changed my prescription to phenergan. Has anyone ever taken this before? I was just wondering if it works but mostly wondering if it is really safe or not.

Welcome to pregnancy! I had no luck with phenegran and never tried Premesis. I have heard of it though. Ask your dx to prescribe Zofran. It is a wonder drug for most women with severe m/s.

I know how you feel and I really hope you feel better. Mine lasted till week 16 and I still have some remnant of it at 31 weeks.

Take care,

Serena

Im sure your doctor wouldnt give you something that wasn't safe! As far as the MS goes, for some reason LifeSavers and SlimFast worked for me .. I dunno .. that and baked potatos is all I could eat ... good luck and congrats!

Lil Momma - Yes, I have been on Phenergan for the last 4 - 5 weeks and it has been like a miracle for me! Hope it works for you too.

I am 14 wks pg tomorrow, and since week 6 had horrible m/s. I mean I lost 10 lbs in a couple weeks, 5 lbs in one week, and was horribly dehydrated...almost in hospital. Like you I had tried all of the soda crackers and gingerale. My m/s got so bad I was vomiting profusely, couldn't keep ANY liquid down and started bringing up blood all the time. So my Dr. gave me Rx of Phenergan 25 mg (the 12.5 mg didn't work for me) and I still take it every 6 hours. I have hardly thrown up in weeks and am now eating much better.

My Dr. said it won't hurt the baby at all! In fact a couple weeks ago, at 12 wks, we did a sonogram and I saw the baby moving all over, he/she is just fine and having a ball! And all my blood tests were fine too.

Praying your m/s leaves you soon, I know how horrible it can be. Let me know how you're doing. Take care.

Welcome Lil'momma to pregnancy and the boards!!

When are you due? I am soooo sorry to hear you have had such a bad time with m/s! Hopefully this new prescription will help it to ease up!

God Bless,
