Another question about Vicodin and Pregnancy?!


Question: Another question about Vicodin and Pregnancy.?
I was prescribed vicodin and am 25 weeks pregnant and have been getting some scary responses about taking it. People are saying that the baby could be addicted now and I am very upset. I took 2 per night for 4 nights straight and then stopped, and then now 2 weeks later I took one last night and one today for kidney stone pain. Do you think I have hurt the baby.? Do you think he could be addicted right now with that much.?.?

My midwife told me it was okay and even prescribed me 30 more pills (which I have not taken) and I don't think I will take them anymore. I also cant go to the hospital either because when I get there for kidney stone pain they shoot me up with morphine and demerol. The pain is very extreme, but I'm scared for my babys life.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Doctors and nurses are certified and educated, they would not give you anything that would remotely harm your child. Don't abuse the vicodin, take as prescribed and you will be fine. Don't over do it, and if you are uncomfortable with taking the pain killers, then try to take them as sparingly as you can. also re: Kamillias answer.....she went to a dentist...unless they specialize in pulling teeth and baby's out of the womb...then they don't know squat. Trust what you midwife and doctor tell you....they do a lot of research...they wouldn't ever jepordize getting sued, over something like this...they know what is best for you.Health Question & Answer

The quantity and frequency that you are using it are not sufficient to addict your baby. If you were using it daily for several months, then sure, but for a few days here and there there's nothing to worry about - which is why your doctor and midwife both say it's okay.Health Question & Answer

And damn to a night that is a whole lot...Health Question & Answer

It will be okay, as long as you take it in moderation, and as prescribed. DO not use it everynight, the baby is a part of you. SO if you become dependent and need it every night then the baby will be dependent as well.Health Question & Answer
