30/500mg cocodamol - when is it okay to take until

Because I keep seeing conflicting things online...
I've been taking x2 pretty much daily since around 17 weeks, I'm 32+6. In so much pain with spd in my pubic bone, hips at night and under my bump. Can barely walk sometimes.

I spoke to my consultant last week and while doing so mentioned the cocodamol, she said it's a really low dose but try to take paracetamol 4 times a day, but they do absolutely nothing.
She didn't say I couldn't take the cocodamol anymore but also didn't say I could. So now I don't know what to do?

Also the gp called me about something else I'm taking and asked if I was still taking the cocodamol and to stop now because even though I've still another 7 weeks what If baby came early etc and it was still in babys system.
So I feel bad now but also need some pain relief for the pain!
I always thought it was okay to take until around 36 weeks. Is this right ?

I took until delivery but we had to stay for 72 hours for opiate withdrawal observations for baby

I was prescribed co-codamol from 32 weeks until birth and then for 3 months whilst breastfeeding.

See I looked on the nice guidelines and it says it shouldn't be given in breastfeeding but then you see so many women say they were prescribed it when they were bf. It's all contradictive and that's what makes me confused.

I'm obviously worried as I don't want to do anything I shouldn't but I'm in so much pain I can cope through the day but it's the nighttime
