Not sure if this is the right topic to post on but need some reassurance.
Over 38 weeks pregnant and have Fractured ribs. The pain has genuinely been on par with childbirth contractions, it is the only comparable pain I have experienced.
Hospital prescribed 30mg codeine (2 tablets is 60mg). The GP has also prescribed 2mg diazepam to be taken 4 times a day. I am absolutely terrified about the impact this could have on my baby but I cannot not take it as I am in complete agony without it.
Are there any medical people who can reassure me? Should I be trying to speak to someone again about this combination and any alternatives? I'd be happier if they got baby out of me so I could take these meds!
