Pregnancy Info HOME

It might be different depending on your doctor or hospital. I was given lortabs (codeine and tylenol) and ibuprofen. I was also given antihistamines and simethicone. I was trying to b___stfeed, and they said all the meds were fine for that.

WOW!!! I wasn't given anything after my c-section!!!

Z, are your dr's crazy? They didn't give you any type of pain meds??? Wow, that's unheard of...........I'm sure you were in a lot of pain, you poor thing.

The antihistamines were because some women get really itchy as a side effect of the anesthesia. Simethicone is the active ingredient in infant gas drops, and helps to relieve the gas pains that are fairly common after a c-section. I can't imagine not being given anything. I had meds in the hospital, then a prescription for lortabs for when I got home. They worked, but every time I held my baby, I would fall asleep...my husband was teasing me, calling it the "junkie nod".

I was given percocet and ibuproffen, and b___stfed.

I was on percocet and ibprofen for pain. But there were other meds to take as well, ... For example, I was also on Zoloft and an Iron Supplement, along with a stool softener (which did diddly squat! lol) All were deemed safe for use by my doc's.

I just got my perscription for percocet & ibuprofen. My c-section is scheduled for tomorrow.........I'm so nervous!

It will go great...this time tomorrow you will be holding your baby! Congratulations, see you on the infant care forum!

jbear, thanks, and yes you will see me on the infant care forum very soon.

i ws given something stronger than percocet...my doctor gave me a narcotic but i wasn't b___stfeeding...
