pain Meds and my baby

[phoenixgirl602]

I have been taking Tylenol3 for a few months due to the pain I have been having in my palvic area. I know every woman has the pain but mine has gotten so bad that some days I can't even walk to the bathroom. and yes I have tried everything stretching, walking swimming, heating pads I have done it all. I talked to my doc and she told me that my baby can be addicted to it if I continue to take it. As soon as she told me that I stopped it. It was not easy because  no one told me that there where withdrawls that came along with it but somehow I did it. Maybe because I was only taking 1 or 2 a day but all the same the withdrawls where not fun! Well not my migraines have gotten so bad that I had to go to labor and delivery and I told the doc that I did not want to be put on any narcotics because of fear of the withdrawls and my baby. So they put me on Fioricet. Well I just looked it up and well I guess I can become depended on it as well! I guess my question is. If anyone out there knows if this can effect my baby and if my baby will have withdrawls from it as well. Oh and sorry I left out a few thing I'm 37 weeks pregnant I will be induced at 39 due t a blood clot. I just started taking Fioricet. I hope someone out there can at least answer a few of my questions. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Please follow your doctors instructions. She has your best interest in mind.

Yes,Fioricet is addicting but not after one or two doses and I'm sure it has helped your migraine. Don't abuse it and just call your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.

It's never a good idea to stop these meds cold turkey while pregnant, if you've been taking large amounts over time, which you haven't been doing.

Good luck to you, don't worry, and stay in touch with your doctor!
