I am pregnant also and i have been taking them now for 4 years? I have decided to come off slowly? My OBGYN told me that is the best way to do it, yea its a lil hard but however its better than just adding another med to your list to take? There isnt really anybad that comes out of taking it. She said it is only a catergory C a lil more above Tylenol... The only major thing is make sure you off with in 2 mounths of delivery or the baby will go thru withdrawls also an i know thats not somthing you want? Dont get on methadome or any other, your just subing out a catagory C for a Catagory G... An thats worse... An dont take advice from some one that just says to quit, cuz they probley have NEVER been thru what we have to go thru.. Someone tha has nEVER been thru it has NO idea what it feels like to have the cold sweets mixed with all the other horable pain an emotions that come from withdrawling? It is worse that comming off crack or cocain... It is on the top list of worst withdrawls... So If you have never been thru what we have an know 1st hand how it feels how do you think giving advice to us will help. IF it wasthat easy to just stop an quit im sure we would in a heart beat... It not just a 3 day thing it will take bout 2 weeks of wanting to die, Never take advice from some one who has a opinon on it that has never done it themsalves. They just look at you as a drugy an doesnt know what they r talking about.... I was taking 5-9 a day an now im down toa half in the am an a half in the pm. Most of my sweets an shakes are gone once you get down to this a day it will get alot easyer an just the thought of doing this good for you an baby will make it worth it an not so bad I promise, im 4mounths prego an im about done an its been bout 1mounth since i kicked back on dossage... Just make sure you eat alot, I know that thats one thing that is so hard to do when your going thru this but you have to push thru eaing so baby stays healthy... You will get ther i promise...
You my friend are a flippin' id**t! Where in the hell did you get your info?...and if you got it from your Dr, well then THEY are a flippin' id**t. If someone tells you to just make sure to stop 2 months before delivery so the baby doesn't go through withdrawals then obviously there effecting the baby in a pretty big way before the delivery. You piss me off! as****e!!!!!!!
Its a proven fact that oxycodone does not cause birth defects, so you need to check YOUR facts, YOU are the id**t! The first lady was correct in that the only risk is that of addiction if taken late in pregnancy. And addiction only occurs if the medication is taken in very large doses, bc oxycodone has a very high molecular weight which allows only tiny traces of it to cross into the placenta to begin with. It is not like alcohol or speed that 100% of what you take crosses into the placenta, not even close. Oxycodone is actually LESS dangerous than tylenol on a fetus which has the potential to destroy the child's liver. Oxycodone, even when used long-term does no damage to the body, which is why it is approved for LONG-TERM pain treatment. If it is abused, this may lead to irratic behavior that can cause harm to the body, but the drug alone does none. That is more than what can be said for TYLENOL! So dumb b***h who wants to call people idiots and physicians idiots when you obviously have not only have no basis for your so called "facts" but no intelligence to know when to avoid talking about things you know nothing about and making yourself look like a hypocritical id**t! You are more concerned with judging others than protecting your reputation! Sickening!
yesss you are absolutely correct
Here,s a novel idea, take another drug called birth control and get your life in order before you mess with anothers, especially an innocent, helpless baby.
No your the one who knows nothing so there for it is you pissing ppl off ! Again are you a Dr? Hmmmm no your not ! You need to know what your talking about befor you let stupidity roll out of your mouth like your all knowing ! Ok she can stop cold turkey and KILL her baby lol yes yes let's do it your way ! Or follow her trained medical pro and have a healthy baby , because pain cause stress which release toxins in your blood that can harm the baby , her pain can cause her to miscarry !!!!! These meds do not cause BIRTH DEFECTS when you follow your DRs orders !!!! And not let lil trolls like you get under ppls skin dealing with this !!!!! Again you are lacking in tact and fact'a!!!!! Do you have any clue how many woman deliver heathy babies who's mothers are on these meds ???? A lot ! Why because the benefits to both baby and mother because when you are with drawing or in terrible pain you can't eat or push fluids ! It is in fact true that you need to tapper SLOWLY before delivery so baby does not need to be treated for withdraws but it is not harming the baby in any way , it will not effect it later in life either. So before you to play God / know it all ! Do it on a topic such as how to look like a complete m***n ! Your all knowing there
Why are you on this page any way ???? If your not taking this med ??? Go on some were with your trolling ! Your life must be lacking meaning , for you to try and make a mother feel bad for seeking answers to her questions ! She was on the meds before becoming pregnant nothing can be done about that ! Her Dr will work with her and I can a sure you all is well with you baby ! The meds don't cause birth defects but dependancy can happen ! But that is better then losing the baby because you stoped cold turky ! You who posted this should be ashamed of yourself ! I bet you believe in giving kids a participation trophy's and don't believe in spanking lol yes yes let's take advice from your untrained self lol here's an idea get a life troll and don't come on a form to talk about something you know nothing about ! I'm 33 I had my first lil girl at 19 I married young and am still with my amazing husband ! We were told we could not have any more children. !!! Lol I was put on methadone about 4 yrs after I had my lil girl and been on it since ! I used B.C just in case because of my med's to my utter amazement I became pregnant in Jan, I am now almost 22 weeks and iv had to sonograms and my baby boy is as healthy as any other. "Normal" baby ! I tried to come down from my meds but impossible because to stop taking them would KILL my baby !!!! In fact my Dr told me to NOT change anything I was doing because of this reason ! You should not take meds just to be taking them but when a Dr had given them or they are needed then you do it because with out them your pain demenish your quality of life !
well said! This post is from a while ago but needed to comment because of the distasteful, uneducated, and indelicate judgemental responses from people who do not understand chronic pain in pregnancy. unfortunately, people who pass tastelessjudgement on pregnant women whom suffer from chronic pain or malignant pain ( cancer) are ignorant-their degenerates for having the audacity to pass nasty judgement of any kind. There's always a risk and many variables to factor. In regards to the comment that women who require pain medication to function should not have children; how low are you! Women who need pain medication, don't take it lightly. Im pregnant and have a 2 year old soon. Due to chronic illnesses I need pain relief to just get up and moving. I used to cry and worry for fear of harming my child and the scrutiny uneducated society. All whom have commented attacking post for sharing-SHAME ON YOU.. It's called empathy people. I pray to all whom passes judgement never suffers from debilitating pain pregnant or not. And I would bet to all of you who says who wouldn't, I bet when you have pain so bad you can't breathe 24/7 you'll be screaming a different tune!! Read peer review articles and educate yourself and leave hateful, attacking comments for yourself people. If you need pain management while pregnant talk with your OB and see a high risk. Don't let anyone make you feel degraded for making a decision that the risk out weigh the benefits.

What do doctors test the placenta for? If I used Oxycodone 2 months before delivery will they find it and take my baby?
Can taking ibuprofen, while being pregnant, cause bleeding and cause the placenta to separate from the eutherian wall, and cause the baby to die?
I was prescribed 15mg oxycodone, and I am 19 weeks pregnant. Is it going to harm my baby?
