Ok well I told you guys how my doctor prescribed my tylenol 3 right? Well I took 2 of them 2dayfor my headaches thats all but it makes people tired and kinda like u had a drink. Anyway, I feel sooooo guilty . My doctor said she wouldnt have given it to me if it wasnt ok but I still feel bad. I look at my u/s pics and think awww my poor baby. He doesnt have a choice. I feel like im doing drugs lol.I think if it 's making me feel like this, then how is he feeling. I dont know. Has anyone else had to take certain medications while pregnant? I just need some reassurance. Not to sound ghetto but I know some pill poppers I can sell them to lol. For like 3 bucks a pill and I have 28 of them. Im going crazy lol ! ~erica.

It's only natural for you to feel guitly, wether born or not your a mom, and all you want todo is protect your baby. When you say tylenol 3 , is that the name, because I never heard of that. If they work let me know so that I could see if I could get them.

Oh yeah they do work. Really well. See you have regular tylenol, then extra strength tylenol then tylenol 3. Ty 3 has codiene in it which is a narcotic. Basically its an illegal drug. At least from where I am it is. That is why I am feeling guilty. If you take like 3 at a time you can get pretty high. Something I would never do preggy of course. There is also tylenol 4 with more codiene in it. They work good to suppress coughs too. They put codiene in prescription cough medicine too. ~ erica.

I know. On the bottle, it says take 2-4 of em every 4-6 hours. I just think of it this way. I will only take it if my head feels like its about toburst lol. The pharmacist told me it was ok also. Kari, my doc gave em to me cuz I suffer from really bad migranes. Thanks for all of the reassurance girls! ~ erica.
