Pain meds during pregnancy?

Question

Today I went to e.r for horrible cramps and horrible back pain. They monitored me and baby and gave ultrasound. Because of the pain in my back legs ans abdomen my Dr prescribed me Norco.. has anyone else been prescribed pain pills while pregnant?  I'm somewhat nervous to take them. The Dr said its fine if I take as prescribed.  How do you women feel about that?

Answer

I took norco for most of my pregnancy for kidney problems. Even took oxycodone and dilaudid for some of it which is stronger. Baby is perfectly fine :)

Answer

i have been givein pain pills while preggo go online and see if there safe while preggo if there not then dont take em i refuse to take most pills im given by my doc if its not safe for my baby rather b safe then sorry

Answer

I just got a wisdom tooth pulled because it broke earlier in the pregnancy and my dentist gave me hydrocodone. I was really put off at the idea of taking it but I calles my OB and got the ok so I only took it when my jaw hurt instead of every 4 hours along with taking a nice hot bath. baths always help

Answer

Because I have had a miscarriage before I am weary of taking any types of medication. I would take some hot baths and use a heating pad. Get prenatal massages too

Answer

I was prescribed for rib cage pain my baby dislocated one of my ribs.

Answer

I have a prescription from my OB for Norco as well and she said as long as you don't take them daily and only when the pain is unbearable it's safe. For me, the pain was putting so much stress on my body, increasing my heart rate and blood pressure, which is bad for the baby of course. They will prescribe Norco, when the benefit outweighs the risk.

Answer

I haven't heard of a Dr prescribing that to a pregnant woman, did you ask your OB?
