Did your doctor prescribe it to you?

Got to www. safefetus. com - your baby can be addicted to the pain med and have some addictive type problems and ect ... go to the website and find out - also go to the addiction forum and post - there are other women who have taken pain meds while prego - good luck

I would talk to your Dr. and have them weigh out the pros and cons.  Sometimes it is best to get the pain under control, but there may be something that is not as strong that you can use.  If it's for pregnancy pain I would skip it altogether, but if it's for another condition, talk to your Dr.  They are 2 different drugs, Percocet is stronger.  I have seen some Dr.'s give out pain meds for pregnancy aches, which is a little crazy, but if you have a real need for them, it's not unheard of.  Hope you feel better.
