Anything I Can Take?

tylenol is safe! it was a savior for me.

you can take regular strength Tylenol for acks. my doctor told me last time i was pregnant

i think any type of .tylenol is okay. my doctor gave me the okay to take extra strength rapid release gelcaps.

i really highly doubt .oxycotin would be safe to take. call & ask your doctor. you don't want to take anything that could hurt your baby.

What condition/injury do you have that gives you the headaches/backaches?

my friend had a rx for oxycontin and continued to take them during her pregnancy. they took her baby away from her the min it was born becaus she had opiates in her system. even though she still had the prescription for it......they still took her baby away.

so i would ask your doctor what you can take and they should give you a list .....good luck

I have also had and injury that has left me with some very serious headaches. Therefore, I also am on some very strong meds. This is something that i am trying to get under control before we go off of birth control. That being said, both my pain dr and my ob/gyn are aware of my goals and it is something that we have discussed at great length. I have been informed that there is a *FEW* meds that are acceptable during pregnancy on an as needed basis. Sometimes the stress from the pain is outweighed by the effects of the meds. This is deffinately something that needs to be discussed with *BOTH* drs. It is very important that they are aware of what is going on. You should discontinue use of all pain meds untill you speak to them. I will also go out on a limb and say you are probably on antispasmatic/seisure meds as well. These can cause many bad side effects if you suddenly discontinue use. You need to call the prescribing dr *today* and ask them how to safely go off of them.

I just saw your post on tests. You say you are 12 weeks. Have you been taking any or all of your meds this entire time? You said you see your dr once a month. You have been pregnant for 3 months (or however that works) This is something very crucial that should have been discussed *immediatly* if he knows you are pregnant and did not tell you that you need to discontinue use or he continued to write you rx for such meds without discussing the ramafications of its use, then you need to find a dr that has a brain. And if you have been seeing him the whole time and *forgot* to mention this than that is a different issue that needs to be addressed.
