After birth meds!! Does anyone know what pain meds you can ask for other than Vicodin and 800 mg of ibuprofen ?? Neither…

Anything but Vicodin it's so constipating!

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

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

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

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.

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 :/

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 .

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

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 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.

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

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

I want to Breast feed are they safe ??

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

I've always gotten Percocet.

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

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