Nurufen/phenergan while pregnant?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Need help - the little monster has given me the nastiest MS and now I have a splitting headache from all the retching and dehydration. I'm overseas at the mo, and the only drugs I have are nurofen and phenergan - can I take either of these? if I could keep them down, that is. 

phenergan will hopefully put me to sleep later on - that's why I'm asking about that one. The problem with being so exhausted during the day is that I'm not sleeping well at night, and BOY, do I need to sleep tonight!

Any help hugely appreciated.

	sorry to say but i dont think us preggy ladies are allowed much at all apart from good old paracetamol not that that helps alot of the headaches etc but u can only try if you can get your hands on some....though i could be totally wrong and hopefully someone else will come and help

	defintately not nurofen but dont know about phenegran. do you have a MW yet? If so, ring her, if not try your GP. They should know or a pharmacist.

	It may be hard, but paracetamol is the only thing to take, I had a bad 2 day migrane and it was hell but it did go away, try drinking plenty of water, easier said than done I know. And eat little and often if you can.
