medication?

I went in to the doctors today because my side was hurting so bad it hurt to move. My doctor said my muscle is pulled and straining and he wants me to take muscle relaxers for a few day.. I don't know how I feel about taking them but I'm in so much pain has anyone took them while being pregnant before?

oh no it didnt, he has been very active the entire pregnany. I had to take them cuz he was either sitting on my sciatica or I had pulled a muscle. the doc wasn't sure which cuz I sat down at my kitchen table and couldn't get up cuz I was in soo much pain. I was taking them plus tylenol every 6 hours round the clock for about a week just so I could move a little bit

Did it make your baby more still? My doctor said that could happen and that really scares me :(

Thats what my doc prescribed for me as well. Flexeril is safe to take during pregnancy. you can look up prescription meds at drugs. com to see if they are safe during pregnancy or if they will harm them baby
