After birth meds!! Does anyone know what pain meds you can ask for other than Vicodin and 800 mg of…

After both of my c-sections I took Percocet and they really helped!

Bring it up with your doc. Be sure to let em know if you plan to breastfeed or not

I've always gotten Percocet.

I got oxycodone, Tylenol and ibuprofen. Works great for me after my csection

I want to Breast feed are they safe ??

They offered me Percocet but i just stuck with the motrin since I'm breast feeding

mine are horrible too I hope they offer perks because vicodin make me sick and this is my 5th baby

I just had baby 4 and 800mg of motrin was my lifesaver. I also was given a few percocet but stopped taking them. So I took motrin and Tylenol. I'm ebf.

Percoset is another strong option ??

If you have a high pain tolerance for meds - then tell the attending OB upfront - they will always offer or Rx the least addictive drug up front - you have to advocate for your particular needs - just keep in mind the Percocet will be a very small # of pills versus the standard Vicodin Rx and ibuprofen the encourage you to take

I was offered Percocet but didn't need it. Ibuprofen has fortunately worked for me.

I honestly don't need it for more then a few days I HOPE ! Lol that fundus shrinking ?????is awfffuuullll and then EVERYTIME they nurse omg the pain and u have to or u bleed . Ib did nothing and Vicodin the same .

After my section they gave me Toradol while iv was in and then dilaudid bc Percocet makes me sick. Now I'm taking Motrin until my incision feels better. I hate narcotics bc they constipate you :/

Percocet is categorized by Dr. Thomas Hale (the leading expert on breastfeeding & medication) as an L3 which means "moderately safe." It's kind of like pregnancy category C, where you have to look at the benefits vs. the risk. I personally only took it for about 3-4 days after delivery with both of my kids and stopped it before my milk came in.

Mabie I'll ask for that anything but the Vicodin or ibuprofen ?

Fwiw this was my 4th and although painful it only lasted a few days.

She said she would give me something thru a IV I can't remember the name .

Anything but Vicodin it's so constipating!
