OMG!  Tell your dr. and stop taking them!  Tylenol is all you can take when pregnant.

Pharmacists often know a lot more about medications than doctors do...I'd call the pharmacist and talk to them about it...and maybe you could talk to them about some alternative...I'd also bring it up to your ob too just to be safe-when I was prego I didn't take anything other than my prenatal for fear of putting something into my baby's system...maybe I'm a nervous nellie!

DONT just stop! Lower your dose by 1 pill each day so the baby can get used to it, it can go thru withdrawal even in your belly. So LOWER it until your completely off. But don't let me scare you. k?

THe baby will be fine.

Actually, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I hurt my back.  The ob doc prescribed tylenol 3 and when that didn't seem to help, he prescribed vicodin.  He said it was safe as long as I followed the scheduled dosage.  I would still call you ob doc to let him know that you have been taking this.  My daughter however was just fine, and was very alert and not groggy or anything at birth.  Good Luck.
