Answer 2

My daughter had a wisdom tooth pulled in January and gave birth in Feb. She was given a prescription for Tylenol with codeine by the dentist. She called her doctor and was told that if she didn't use it to an excess it would be fine. Talk to your
obstetrician, but I would think the baby would be fine.

Answer 3

Depends on what kind of painkillers they were. Id ask your doctor about that. You're probably ok. I had a small surgery before I knew I was pregnant in 05. I was awake but they had to numb the area with an anesthetic. I told my doc and he said the baby was fine. 19 months later shes still ok.

Answer 4

i had a tooth pulled under general anesthesia before i realized i was pregnant. i had pain medication as well.
my doctor informed me over and over i was fine and the baby was fine. and he's now 13 and WONDERFUL!
hope that helps you to feel better about it!
good luck and congratulations!

Answer 5

If it were harmful the doctor would have told you about it.
