38 weeks pregnant, perscribed vicodin

by kyliesmommy, Dec 08, 2007 08:09PM
I was perscribed vicodin when i was about 4 months along for horrible headaches, I have a new ob now and he also perscribed me vicodin for my back aches. Obviousally it cant be that bad or else they wouldnt of perscribed it to me. My question is what will be the effects on my baby. I take up to 3 a day, and try not to take them everyday. I am 38 weeks along and i have heard stories about women getting there babies taken away because the baby tested positve for drugs. I have tried to talk to my doctor about it but all he says it will be fine. This is my first baby and I am so excited i just want to make sure she is born healthy. She is a very active baby inside of me. Does anyone know the effects that vicodin might have on a new born,

I don't know your answer, but I do know they won't take your baby! it's a prescription, so it's okay.. However, if they both prescribed it, it shouldn't be too bad.. All I know is if you take a lot, it might cause withdrawl in the newborn.. But I'm no expert.

Vicodin is perfectly safe to take during pregnancy as long as you dont over do it. Just take the amount thye prescribed and you should be fine.

Hi Kyliesmommy,

I suggest you get a second opinion as Vocodin is a narcotic.  If you are interested in receiving a relaxation audio cd or mp3 please let me know.  I am a certified hypnotist and I have material I can send you at no cost to you.  Please send me a personnel message and I will be happy to help you.  
Have a blessed Christmas... Steve Barlett
