Tylenol 3 and pregnant. quit cold turkey? or taper?

[Superworriedpeg]

hi there, i just found out that i'm approx 11 weeks pregnant & have been taking tylenol 3 on a daily basis. I've seen so many different opinions on quitting while pregnant, I'm super confused on what to do....and don't have an obgyn appointment for another couple of weeks. I don't want to harm my unborn child in any way, which is better for the both of us..to quit cold turkey? or to taper off?
Thank you

------------------Yes I agree with everything everyone is saying, I was on Vicoden for the last 3 months..with my second baby. (She broke my ribs)....
Talk to the doc!!!!
Take care

It's a lite addiction even less than vicodin. You should be able to stop cold and depending how many you were taking, It should be a lot better for your baby without the tylenol

I fully agree with sarah and Guy....... but I also wanted to point out that codeine is probably the best narc that I can think of to put down.  Its a weak narcotic and the withdrawals (depending upon history..)  are relatively minor compared to something like oxycodone.  keep us posted with your progress........and if you want to give a better history - it wouldnt hurt..

I agree with Ga Guy....dont do anything until you talk with your OB/GYN.  Please make an appt right away..........sara

This is something only your doctor will be able to answer. We're just not qualified to answer that. Call your doctor and ask for an earlier appointment.
