Phenergen or Zofran

Penny Pie

When did you start using an anti-nausea medicine during your pregnancy if you had to use one, what are the pros and cons, and worries with using them...

I know, totally crazy post, I just wanted to be informed before I was given an option.

I tried everything imaginable with Katen's pregnancy and finally after losing 19lbs moved to zofran. I believe that pheregran is a class C drug and zofran is A or B. Zofran took the edge off for me enough to make it to work each day.

With Ana's pregnancy I was able to tough it out but I wasn't working either.

Tash and Victoria, just asking to let a pal know.  I took Phenergen for a while and don't remember side effect of the drug on the baby.

I took the maximum dose of oral Zofran allowed starting at 5 weeks. It really didn't do anything for my awful nausea but did slow down the vomiting to several times a day as opposed to 20+. I also had Zofran administered intraveneously once daily. Phenergen was another option my OB and I discussed but one of the side effects is extreme drowsiness and I didnt feel comfortable taking that and caring for Ella all day by myself. I took Zofran from week 5 until week 30 or a little after. The only bad side effect I had from the Zofran was awful constipation.

I took zofran so I could make it through the workday without throwing up.  I was more worried about becoming dehydrated than taking the drug. 

Phenegren can make you very sleepy, where zofran doesn't.
