I am 16 weeks pregnant and take tramadol. Yes it is Dr prescribed. My ob said it was fine to take but not that much daily. My ob looked online and said that the only birth defects found were when animals small animals like mice and rats were given toxic human doses. He also said that like every single medication is a Category c because they don’t test on pregnant women. I know everybody’s dr is different and some say only Tylenol others say nothing. I figure its safe since I don’t take toxic dose. Category C meds and D meds are supposed to be taken if the pros outway the cons. Anybody know more about this topic and or have experience?
Ultram/Tramadol while pregnant OB knows about, Its dr prescribed. Does anybody have experience with?

i believe lortab/hydrocodone is a category b so why did they put you on a category c? category c drugs are in that category because they are not proven safe and they are not proven to cause harm. i assume this is for pain relief, correct? ultram is a worthless drug for pain relief anyhow, and it is worse for you than drugs that would actually help you are. i would ask your doctor what the reasoning behind this was.
i am sure if your doctor prescribed it to you, then it’s not going to cause you or your baby any harm, but there are better drugs out there than that.
