Codeine whilst pregnant?

[MummyElk]

in the hope that someone medical is up at this hour...
have had sinusitis - off to doctor in the morning to get sorted properly..
pain has gone to my ears and head, much worse than it's been all weekend. Paracetamol isn't even touching it. I do have some Paracodal? which is paracetamol and codeine together...it's worked for me in the past...
I'm 24 weeks pg. All the reading i can find is that it's PROBABLY ok at this point, considering i won't be taking it for long....anyone have any thoughts or experiences on this one?

It will be fine to take. I had toothache really bad in my last pregnancy and the doctor told me to take this so it should be fine xx

thanks Lizzie!

I've been told to take co-codamol for my joint and pelvic pain, so I'm sure it's fine (am 32 wks). However, I would check with your doc or midwife first, just to be absolutely certain.

Hope you feel better soon! x

Also had sinusitus during my last pregnancy at 13 weeks and was told that co-codomaol fine to take. Hope you feel better soon x

I was prescribed straight up codeine when I was pregnant so yep, all fine.

Hope you feel better soon.

yep, apparently problems are with regular and heavy use according to my MW... so fine to take

hi all
thanks for responses, you're all spot on, i got a yes from my GP earlier today too (and a big fat prescription!) and it's DEFINITELY helping..
thanks for getting back to me
