I think I may have done something terrible...please help
« on: April 06, 2008, 20:35:08 pm »
I am just now thinking it is possible during the first few days home from the hospital from my c-section, I may have inadvertently taken the wrong medicine for pain.  My dh was recently put on prednisone for some arthritis problems and his bottle was very close to mine and the pills look exactly alike.  I though it was maybe only one dose, but now my husband says he is 12 pills short :o :o :o

Could I have hurt/damaged my baby?  I want to cry?  I can't confirm any of it, but my husband gave me some of the medicine too and one night said to me to be careful because the bottles were very close together.

Anyone, help?

I'm afraid I don't know but could you phone your local hospital and ask them? They will either set your mind at ease or let you know what you need to do.

I just checked on kellymom.com for you, and although I can't add the link for you, it says it is considered a safe medication whilst breastfeeding. Please check out that site to put your mind at ease xx

I think this is the link Michelle mentioned.  http://www.kellymom.com/health/meds/aap-approved-meds.html

You could call your pharmacy, too.

Awww. It seems like it wouldn't do any harm, but you must have felt so sick over it! Big hugs!

thanks ladies!  I feel better, but of course now every little thing I am scared about now!  he is pooping too much, is he eating enough...etc. etc.  I can't believe I was in such a fog i may have done that.
