Pregnant with fibro

[vixen76le]

I am 12 weeks pregnant and since conception the pain has been horrendous! I have been taking paracetamol and gritting my teeth alot! Went to see the midwife yesterday and she said they can prescribe low dose amytriptiline and codeine whilst I'm pregnant?? Am not very sure if I want to take them as I'm worried about harming my baby I wondered if anyone else has taken these while pregnant?? Any advice would be great

you can have codeine in pregnancy as i did and my daughter fine, they just dont let you in first trimester or last few weeks pregnancy so baby not dopey when come out.

have no idea about amytriptiline though xx

Hi

My husbands work involves checking drugs are safe for unborn babies, I don't think your midwife would prescribe you something during pregnancy that would harm your baby.

You could google it to give you peace of mind.

Hi Vixen, congratulations, I think you are having our first "Fibro" baby since I have been on this site.

Can't say either way about medication as I have never been in that position. However, can you put up with the pain if you are worried about taking medicine. if not then you have to guided by your Midwife and GP. I'm sure you will do the right thing for both you and your baby. Take care, Love Angela xx

Thanks everyone for the advice have an appointment with my consultant next week so think I'll wait and see what he thinks.

And yes soooo happy and excited whilst worrying half to death that things will be ok. Lots and lots of emotions at the min!!

But I know that once I hold my precious little bundle in my arms every minute of the pain will have been worth it...and that thought has got me through some very painful moments!

Much love to you all and thanks again xx
