Morning Sickness: Gel or Suppositories? You make the call.

As your wife progresses, and if you're lucky morning sickness will just be a scary urban legend whispered about but if you're not lucky phenergan will be you're wife's best friend.

Although known as morning sickness the spontaneous vomiting can happen anytime, anywhere. Yep, heading to lunch, going to dinner, getting ready for bed. Nowhere is safe from your wife's hormone-induced upchucking if she has persistent sickness.
Phenergan, also known as promethazine, will be you and your wife's miracle drug if the dreaded morning sickness arrives. The tricky thing here is that when your wife is vomiting up EVERYTHING, even water, something simple to swallow, like a pill, won't help much. So when you ask the doctor for nausea medicine and they suggest phenergan make sure you ask for phenergan GEL. It comes in metered doses and all your wife has to do is rub it on her wrists. I can almost guarantee your wife will not be thrilled to see you bring home suppositories. The only downside is that phenergan can make her a little drowsy so she shouldn't be at the construction site after she's used some.

There are several medications that are available for morning sickness, your doctor will rattle off a list of possible drugs for morning sickness but phenergan was the only thing that worked for my wife.

Guy Recommendation:

Promethazine gel good, suppositories probably not ideal. And stashing some Walmart bags in the cars wouldn't hurt either.
