percocet and pregnancy

My doctor prescribed them to me and I'm afraid to take them because idk the harm it will do to my child .. will it cause  abnormalities? I didn't get that many pills so me n the baby won't have withdrawal but what other things can go wrong the doc seemed fine but I'm afraid any advice?

Only take when needed. I don't tolerate medicine very well so I was out of it when I took them but I was still OK to complete boot camp even though they had prescribed them to me so they should be OK.

Do not take tylenol and he percocet. Percocet is safe I took it with a bunch of my pregnancys. I had kidney stones bad and had to be hospitalized a lot and put on iv pain med but when it was manageable I was on. 1-2 Percocet 5's every 4-6 hrs through out my pregnancys. I only get bad stones while pregnant but my babies were all healthy, well the ones I took the medicine with. If you are in pain take your medicine bonus it help with pregnancy pains...

It should be safe if they are prescribing it to you, just take it only when you can't take the pain. Other than that, I would take some tylenol.
