5 1/2 months pregnant taking oxycodone 5mg

[MissMeli01]

I have a herniated disc and I've been taking oxycodone 5mg for the pain I take 1 to 2a day and I was just wondering when should I stop taking the medication because I don't want my baby to be addicted to it I've spent one or 2 days without without the medication and the pain has been unbearable so is there anything I can take for the pain thanks....

Im on hydros 5mg as well for severe back pain.. I can have 1 to 2 every 4 hrs but don't like that idea of high amount in system in my 3rd tri so I cut the pill in half and take a half every 4 hrs it works out for me you should try

I'm on pain meds to. I'm able to take less in pregnancy due to the bliss of pregnancy hormones relaxing my muscles but I'm still on them. My daughter was effected after she was born despite me taking them with her and I imagine that this one won't be either. My girl was perhaps more laid back then most babies on reflection but she wasn't in any harm. If you plan to breastfeed a lot less of the drugs will be in your milk and I found this was enough for her not to get withdrawals once I stopped breastfeeding. Cutting back and low dosage is what you're already doing and the best way to avoid your little one being too effected. Best wishes x
