Broken Tailbone/Bladder Infection and RX Meds..HELP!From: Misty (anonymous@obgyn.net)Tue, 30 Apr 2002 11:35:11 -0500 (CDT)
I am currently 22 weeks pregnant. I fell a week and a half ago carrying laundry downstairs. I was in excruciating pain and went to the Urgent Care. They checked the baby and everything that way was fine. They also said that since I am pregnant they didn't advise an X-Ray and assumed that I had fractured my tailbone. They ran blood and urine tests as well, my urine cul cme back positive for which they prescribed Trimox (antibiotic). I have also been prescribed Vicodin for the pain which I have been taking daily for the past five days, up to 4 a day. What are the effects of this drug on the baby? The pain is so bad and I don't want to have to take anything, but with my tailbone, everyposition is extremely uncomfortable. They say that it could take up to six weeks for my tailbone to heal, but I am concerned about the length of time I have already been on pain medication. What are the effects of this drug (hydrocodone/lortab) on the baby? The baby is still very active and everything seems ok, and I know that my Dr. wouldn't prescribe anything that would be harmful, and with my first two babies I never even had to take a tylenol. I am feeling very guilty/scared about taking narcotics, but the pain is so bad that is outweighs my guilt feelings. Just wanted to know if you knew of the outcome of other women that took pain medication during pregnancy and if it had any adverse effects.......thanks for listenening!
