Does your pain affect baby? Help please!

I have a herniated disk in my back that’s causing a lot of pain. I’m 24 weeks pregnant. Someone told me that when the mom is in pain the chemicals released can cause problems for the baby- kinda like stress does. Is this true?

I’m trying to decide on taking short term before my back gets really bad or powering through until then. This is just one of the factors I’m looking at.

Thank you!
