using vicodin or fiorcet while pregnant!
by yesofthemoon, Nov 29, 2007 04:44PM
hi,
I am 30 weeks pregnant...I'm having severe migraines. my ob/gyn put me on fiorcet during my second trimester, but my neuro changed it to vicodin. I'm really scared taking all of these medications during pregnancy? does anyone out there know for sure if it wouldn't harm the baby. I'm in so much pain. I don't know what 2 do. I've been online looking everywhere for info abt those drugs, but it's so confusing. Anyone out there please respond.

Talk to a pharmacist, for the clearest advice on drugs. I was given vicodin during pregnancy by my doc and told it is OK as long as it is not too close to the due date.

Vicodin is a category C drug, so there is always that possibility that it can do harm to the baby.

I also had severe migraines during pregnancy and I was on Fliorcet and it did help my headaches. My baby is 3 months and he is doing fine. I don't know about Vicodin but I believe that it is stronger than the Fliorcet, it is a class C drug so it is unknown what the effects are on the fetus. I know how painful migraines are, and fustrating it is worrying if you meds will hurt the baby. I would suggest only taking it when absoultley necessary and try not to take it to close to delivery.
