percocet for pregnant women

I'm pregnant, and I was trying to get an abortion but I don't have the money for it. I was in a car accident, and required x-rays to make sure my neck wasent broken. I had been takeing flexeril, and just doing everything wrong and I'm so worried if I do end up keeping (which is more then likely whats going to happen. Have I severly hurt the baby?

Percocet is in Category C for affects on the baby. You probably already know the following, but just in case: What is Category C? Category C Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks. https://www.drugs.com/pregnancy-categories.html https://www.rxlist.com/percocet-drug.

Even when you aren't pregnant. There's a lot of pregnant women that are prescribed narcotics for their pain because they have severe conditions and the pain and stress causes more harm. The doctorsknow how to do it without it being life threatning.

I didn't see that post so I can't be much help. However, talk with you OB GYN about the percocet and your pharmacist.

i am constantly prescribed vicoden and percocet for chronic back pain i dont want to harm my baby but i also am in severe pain everyday... how harmful are these and will they still prescribable to me.

It was probably occuring with women who were taking them before they were pregnant or who began early in pregnancy and then kept taking them throughout the pregnancy. Or they may have been taking more than prescribed and just not told anyone. You never know. My sister was prescribed percocet during her pregnancy for a wisdom tooth that was removed. She gave birth to a healthy boy who is nine years old now. Trust your doctor and relay your concerns to him.

I am almost 19 weeks pregnant and have been taking percocet for over a year now. The past 6 months I have taken up to 10 10/325 a day. Once I found out I was pregnant, I was lowered to 5/325 and up to 6 a day. That was to big of a drop and she moved me up to 8 a day of the 7.5/3.25 a day. This is my fourth pregnancy and I have never taken a pain medication other than tylenol before while pregnant. I just wanted to know if anyone else has been through this.

I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant and been addicted to percocet and norcos for over a year now, I stopped taking them but I feel myself going through withdraw all the time. If I take a norco or a 10 mg percocet once a day. Would I be damaging my child's brain or am I causing developmental issues with the baby? Is the baby fine? Or is my baby going to be born with growth problems or is it going to be missing fingers or toes? Or is its brain not going to be completely developed?

I have taken low mg of oxycodone and Percocet throughout my whole pregnancy. for a week or two every month. I have struggled with the addiction for years which is why I would make myself only take 5/7mg a day. im about to have a baby in a month. I am currently off them and feeling ok. I constantly worry about my baby having birth defects and have been battling depression and severe anxiety that I feel im losing my mind. Does it cause birth defects or could someone tell me their experience?

i was on Percocet for about 2years and then found out that i am pregnant i told my pain office that i was pregnant and thay complitly cut me off and i can get in to see my dr until the 16th i am now going threw withdrawals and am so scared the withdrawing is no joke i feel so sick i dont know what to do and my babys dad is not vary supporting about it at all i cant even talk to him about it cuz we will fight :(

Many pregnant women have to have narcotics while pregnant, for medical conditions. Everything I've read says it's safe at proper dosages, with the physician aware of it, it does not cause permanent damage to a developing fetus. The problem is, first, if the doctor took you off of them, then she/he either didn't think you needed them anymore, or she had a concern of some kind.

I see a ton of pregnant women working at maternity stores. I think it's very smart to have women with child working in places like that. I also have seen women at drug stores, Babies R Us, or maybe another daycare?

I live in Tennessee. My job post is actually a sitting down position except for rounds I have to make every hour... Outside. I thought about working at a call center, think I'll look into that. I am also concerned about job security switching jobs but I will likely keep my current job but I WILL need a part time one also so that I'm not living check to check. Thanks for all the suggestions!

I also find they are more thorough in terms of asking what other meds you may be on, and checking for negative interactions. They are far more knowledgable about the effect of drugs on pregnant women then most Dr.s. After all, it's what they specialize in. Good luck.

I am not asking these questions to be judged and put down cause I already know what I did was stupid. I am 24 weeks pregnant and I have used Percocet here and there. I have only done it about five times. I am not addicted and do not have any withdrawals but I was wondering if my baby will be okay and if when I give birth the opiate will show up in his fetus or be in his system. I am stopping as of now and don't ever plan on being stupid again.

My daughter found out she's pregnant and has been taking Percocet and Meth.. She has an appt at the Clinic in 5 days and was wondering if it's safe for her to take Subutex to help her wean off these drug?I know that it's harmful to her and the baby for her just to stop cold turkey. So my question is if anyone knows if it's safe to take Subutex or something to help her withdrawls.. She quit the Meth but is still taking the Percocet to help w withdrawls.

My doctor put me on percocet for the pain that I am having while pregnant. I am sure my doctor wouldn't give me something that would harm my unborn child but I am just curious to know what the affects are on a 37 week old fetus whose mother is taking 5mg percocet once to twice a day? Could my baby be born addicted? Is my child getting high off the affects of the pills?

Well lets see...about 40,000 people die a year from using narcotis specifically oxycontin and percocet...so yes it could deffinitely affect a growing baby during pregnancy. The problem with narcotics is that they don't test them on pregnant women so they can't verify if its safe or not during pregnancy. Most of what is known of the effects of oxycontin and pregnancy is from women that take it and report some side effects, not from specific studies.

When you go to medical school you learn that and that you shouldnt treat pregnant women any difrent then non. Yea things are more dificult but we asked for it. We need to do things ourself we should be able to do anything we could before. Speacil treatment is unneeded. If you cant stand in line that is your problem and not everyone elses you need to figure out ways around it.

) the doctor gave me 5mg percocet for pain as needed and told me it was safe to take as long as it was the recommended dose. Has anyone else taken this while pregnant?

i am 36 weeks pregnant and have been taking percocet/ oxycodone my whole pregnancy. They are perscribed by my doctor for my migraines. My concern is if my baby will go through withdrawal. I'm really worried cause i take 5mgs 3 sometimes 4 a day. I need to know if social services are going to step in and take my baby away because of the amount of percocet i've been taking. Do they test you for the level of narcotics you are taking or just to see if its there?
