Oxycodone and Pregnancy
I suffered second & third degree burns on my right arm in an accident in my home on June 1st, 2001. I am pregnant and my due date is November 4th. Since the accident I've been taking 5mg oxyir cap (oxycodone). I took eight capsules per day during June, as well as two oxycontin tablets per day and since mid-July I've taken five capsules of 5 mg oxyir cap per day for pain. No skin graphs have been done on the wound. I clean the wound each day with dial anti-bacteria soap and dress the wound with 1% silver sulfadiazine cream. I've had no other complications related to my pregnancy. I will be forty years old September 6th and this is my first baby.
The area is not going to be healed before my due date; therefore, unless surgery is performed I will still be taking the oxycodone when my baby is born. I am very concerned about having surgery at this point due to the risk of premature labor and since the recovery time would be about six weeks which means I would still require pain medication until about two to four weeks before my due date. My doctors do not seem to know how the use of oxycodone will affect my baby if I continue to use the medication near or through my due date.
Is there any research on the effects of oxycodone on a new born whose mother has taken the medication as I have during pregnancy? At this point would surgery provide enough benefits to my baby to justify all the risks involved in the surgical procedure and recovery period? Are there any other alternatives in my treatment to help ensure the health of my baby?

Jenny, I'm so glad to see you had a great time with the family, It's funny cause you almost need a vacation from the vacation. I'm also glad I can make ya smile ( You'll get my bill later ). Things have been going so good, that I just have not even had time to check posts.
Thanks for all the kind and strong words about beating myself up, although I can look past so much of it, it always pops up when I let myself drift ( which I work hard on not doing ).
Right now I've got my business starting up, and I am working so hard to work through the pain in my body, and focus my thoughts on so many things , alittle reinforsment everyonce in awhile from my friends never hurts.
Thank you again for thinking about me!
Stay strong and all the power of the day to ya!
peace

Definately sounds like things are looking up for you! :)
Hopefully, the good thoughts will continue and become more and more frequent and eventually overpower all those sad feelings and memories for you. Just keep staying focused on the future and what is important to you. We are all here to support eachother; a great place to turn too when the 'bad thoughts' start to take over!
I kind of wish it were just ME i was so worried about. I seem to have this 165 lb being (laying on the couch in the living room at the moment) that constantly beats me down day after day after day. I'm trying to be careful what i wish for, i love him dearly, but he's really pulling me down and it's so painful.
I seem to always have the weight of everything on my achey shoulders (literally), and the weight just gets so overwhelming some days!
Good luck with your business!!! :)

Wiz,
No matter where life leads us, know that you will have my true, heartfelt gratitude until the day I die. You have given so much to so many people on this forum, including me. Your encouragement meant the world to me when I was going through my crisis. Just knowing that someone who understood was thinking about me and cared how I was doing was a tremendous help. Since then I have seen you share wonderful, wise, encouraging, and inspirational messages with more people here than I can count. I'm glad you're free of the dragon, and hope the old ******* gets tired of bothering you and moves on! I fully understand your need to shift your attention to your family now, and in a way it's kind of neat to see someone "graduate" or become an "alumnus" of the forum as you put it. But we will miss you. I hope you're able to drop by from time to time, but if not, go peacefully, secure in the knowledge that your time here was very, very well spent. --- your brother Milo

Jenny Jenny 3679305 Sorry, got lost for a second in a song!!
Yes I have and that little girl is now 14. And yesterday had me in tears because I and her Mom, my X, who, I have a fantastic relastionship with, decided that she needs be with her Mom, even though, it means moving her to NY from PA. We split her each week in PA, sat through 3 interviews for private schools even though she hated being there. She sat upright and was the vision of the most beautful, poised, articulate person, that she not only blew us away, but blew them away and all want her now.
so jenny, yes I've had the lollypops and poop squirted all over me and the throw-up on my best suites as I was walking out the door, BUT YESTERDAY WAS WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF IT,
Have a great time in FLA and remember laughter threw your childs eyes can change and strengthen you, it has for me.
