Hey ladies I got my tooth pulled today and they prescribed a narco is that normal and okay? They…

Which one specifically?

@badkitty4, it’s the same one they give you after giving birth hydocodone acetaminaphen

@mommynmotion this is from the motherisk website. Acetominophen is safe and hydrocodone should be safe to take in the prescribed way, since you are not in late in pregnancy. Call your OB if you are still concerned though

Opioids

These agents include morphine-like agonists (eg, morphine, hydromorphone, hydrocodone, codeine, and oxycodone), meperidine-like agonists, and synthetic opioid analogues (eg, tramadol). Reproductive studies describing the use of narcotic analgesics in human pregnancies are limited, and there are no prospective, comparative studies. However, these drugs have been used in therapeutic doses by pregnant women for many years and have not been linked to elevated risk of major or minor malformations. The Collaborative Perinatal Project identified 448 morphine exposures at various stages of pregnancy and found no evidence of increased teratogenic effects.8 The Michigan Medicaid study reported 332 newborns exposed to hydrocodone, 281 exposed to oxycodone, and 7640 exposed to codeine, all in the first trimester. The rate of major birth defects was 4.6% for the oxycodone-exposed group; 4.9% for the codeine-exposed group (consistent with the general population risk); and 7.2% for the hydrocodone group, which could have been influenced by confounding factors (ie, maternal disease severity and concurrent drug use).9A case-control study of 141 infants with cardiac malformations did not report an association with the use of codeine in the first trimester of pregnancy.10 Neonatal withdrawal has been observed with use of codeine in late pregnancy, even with therapeutic doses in nonaddicted mothers.

I would ask your OB anyway, but I had to have a small surgery and my OB actually gave me the same exact one so I believe it’s safe.

Thank you so much ladies I will wait till tomorrow and call!

I go for a root canal on Monday 😭 I feel your pain already.

@mynameisdevynn, oh my word never had one of those!

@mommynmotion, me either girl. But they are only allowing numbing medicine, which has never worked for me (found that out during my 2 hour wisdom teeth removal) and Tylenol.

@mynameisdevynn, same they used the mildest numbing agent possible bc of the baby I felt every single crack and tear👀😢 I’m pretty sure root canals are the things you see on tv with the loud scary saw noise and the patient screaming and kicking though.... no thank you!!!

Yes it is I had teeth pulled during my pregnancy and they gave that to me and I’m also on it now for my ass and my back it’s safe during breastfeeding also!

I had 2 wisdom teeth pulled and didn't fill the narco script they gave me. Wasn't too bad.

@melissa_luv228, oh wow your tough! Yeah same thing they gave me the first day is easy she said it’ll start hurting in a day or two so we’ll see🤷🏽‍♀️
