Prednisolone in third tri?

[Ahurani]

Ive really hurt my back getting up off the couch today. I did the same thing a couple of years ago and the dr prescribed 25mg pred for 3/7. Now I've just found them... Are they okay to take? It's killing me and I can hardly walk I'm in so much pain. Should I call the pharmacist or the birth suite or something? Ty

[Little Chicken]

I really wouldn't until you've spoken to a pharmacist or doctor. They might be out of date anyway. What painkillers have you got?

[Early Kids]

I'm not sure to be honest, I would check with the pharmacist as well as the hospital to make sure. hope your back eases off soon x

[*LittleMissSummer*]

I agree i would ask before taking them. Hope you feel better soon.

[Ahurani]

I've got mersyndol here I can take. I'm such an idiot I've been so careful I'll call the pharmacy now.

They are in date I checked :/

[Little Chicken]

Don't be harsh on yourself, it's not your fault. I would ask about the mersyndol as well.

[Ahurani]

Blah he said it's safe as long as a dr is monitoring you

[Little Chicken]

So that would be no then? Do you have any panadeine or panadeine forte? and cold packs

[Ahurani]

Well there's no dr monitoring me. I just want to cry

I have a wheat bag, no panadiene but mersyndol is ok

[Little Chicken]

I can never remember if cold or hot is better. Well rest up and get waited on hand and foot then.

[Ahurani]

Ha as if.

What about decorub?

[Little Chicken]

Wouldn't have a clue to be honest. Damn pregnancy hormones loosening everything up!

[Ahurani]

i know looks like no work for me tomorrow

[Little Chicken]

Damn shame about not working tomorrow

[Arimeh]

Is decorub like deep heat? if yes, then no you can't use that either.

[Ahurani]

Yeah damn I tried a wheat bag with no result. I'm seriously thinking of taking the pred

[~me~]

Get an appointment tomorrow with a physio or chiro. They will be able to relieve some of the pain for you. I saw a physio during my last trimester for DS1 and it was just plain heaven! I couldn't lay on my tummy or back, just worked whatever was comfortable and is was great.
When you ring, tell them you are prengant how far along and what has happend, you should be able to get in straight away.
Where are you having baby? Ring the hospital and check with the Mid Wives (or Feeb??)

Have you googled for information? Thats what I usually do if I'm not sure and I can't get any info from a chemist.
