You can take pain meds. I had to be on them for while. It’s okay. The pain you experience can cause stress on your baby. So it’s better to not hurt

My pain has been unbearable, I did talk to my ob who said right now I am more than okay to take pain medication if needed. He said he wouldn’t approve it to my dentist if I couldn’t, so I guess that’s good.

@knockout, okay cool 😇 I agree, I’ve been weird about medication too since I saw my dad abuse them my whole life so I kinda have the same mindset

@akcatprincess, Oh I know! I’m just weird with medication in general. In my opinion if I can bare the pain then I’ll bare it. No reason to take pain meds just to be convenient or comfortable. Iv taken pain meds when the pain was unbearable

@knockout, not to be rude at all, just trying to be educational, but...

according to doctors the pain meds they give you after birth don’t transfer to breast milk, and if it does it’s such a teeny tiny amount that it has no effects on baby. Just sayin

omg i had a tooth abcess sunday it was hurting so damn bad i couldnt wait to see the dentist monday i popped it and it was the nastiest thing i ever did i drained all of it and the pain went away instantly so i called them and told them i popped it myself and they called me in antibiotics lol saved myself $80 copay

I hate taking pain meds, I don’t even take them after delivering in the hospital because i breast feed
