Yes I felt the same - I found warm baths help with back pain & a hot water bottle ;) for after the bath.

I know how you feel I cried because I couldn't sleep with the pain and the pain and lack of sleep had me bawling crying because I just wanted to swallow the pills but couldn't bring myself to.

I hope you feel better soon & find a good solution xxx

My doctor prescribed me Tylenol #3 (Tylenol with codeine) for migraines in pregnancy. He said as long as I took it sparingly it wasn't an issue and was safe for the baby.

I'm prescribed norco (hydrocodone 10/325 my whole pregnancy by multiple high risk doctors and everything is fine the main concern is withdrawls symptoms for the baby I have just now stopped taking the medication I'm due in 16 days... if it's prescribed then yes its actually safer then tylenol because the main concern it acetimeniphen in norco there is only 325mg of tylenol in tylenol your taking 1000 mgs I have had 7 different high risk doctors watch me through out my pregnancy and have delivered all healthy babies.. if the benefits outweigh the risks then yes it it being in a lot of pain does worse to the baby then I little pill to relieve the pain what u feel your baby feels. Talk to your doctor I know I did vera use I was freaking out

Its unbelievable - doc at er prescribed me it as I broke my coccyx but she said there are risks etc..

baby can be born addicted

even in small shortterm doses fetus can have withdrawal symptoms.  

I seen a specialist for fetal echo and he went ballistic saying codeine can stop baby's heart !

It should be avoided at all costs and if can't be avoided you and baby need to be monitored closely.

Hope your pains bearable xxx
