Kidney Stone Pain Questions
This is my third pregnancy. I have multiple kidney stones in both kidney-had to have lithotripsy in week 28 for a stone blocking the right kidney. Have continued to have pain and been prescribed Percocet 5/325. So far, the most I have had to take is 4 tablets over 24 hours. Most days, I only have to take two. Anyone in a similar situation?
Please don’t judge if you’ve never had kidney stones…

i had to take percocet for other reason, but it is pretty much safe to take as long as you don`t take it for to long. i look it up on the Internet and found out it could cause the baby to go through withdrawl if taken for long period of time. other from that it seems pretty much safe to take during pregnancy. I don`t think the doctor would prescribe it if it would cause the baby harm.
Be blessed

Percocet is safe to take. Your doctor would never knowingly prescribe something that was hazardous to your baby. Take them as often as prescribed if you need to.
