edelweiss on "Guilt about taking medicine in the first trimester"

i had emergency surgery when i was 4 weeks pregnant (not related to pregnancy) and had tons of medication--morphine, vicadin, anesthesia, blood thinner, antibiotics, and percocet, just to name a few. i didn't feel badly because i could not have dealt with the pain otherwise. i am 36 weeks now into a healthy, normal pregnancy. i hope you feel better soon, and i don't think you should feel badly about taking what you have.
