JEANNIE,

STOP SCREAMING. I DON'T BELIEVE NAUSEA MAKES YOU DEAF!

With no guarantees in life, Phenergan is routinely used for hyperemesis in early pregnancy and has not shown any increased risk of abnormalities to date.

BTW, I wonder how good vomiting and dehydration is for a pregnancy? Everything in medicine is cost/benefit ratio. I'd pick being well hydrated.
