Likely OB is going to detox anyway, There is a point where the patient care outweighs the risk to the child....for example if psych meds are needed.
My DIL took Effexor with no problems during her pregnancy, but we often wonder if that is the reason for the stomach protuding the diaphrahm, He had reflux real bad as a baby. He will have surgery to repair in a few months.
I had foot surgery and xrays of the foot after surgery when I was several days to ten days pregnant, with opiats and anesthsia but my baby was fine.
When my friend had chronic pain syndrome she experianced as most expecting mothers do the effect of the bodies natural pain release of endorphins, the relaxing of muscles form chemical release in the body to lossen joints all played a part in becoming natural pain reduced to no medications.
If you had a pain pump istead of SCS that helps too. is the scs in the belly or back?
Congrad's and enjoy the experiance.

This is very helpful information. I will just have to wait and see what will happen on Monday woth the OB and then consult with my Pain Dr.
I am only 26 years old and didn't want the SCS or pump. But, my dr. was making me feel like I was running out of options. So after a couple months I decided to go for the trial, and after having the SCS trial my RSD spread. I didn't want to risk the surgical procedure of the pump to risk it spreading anymore. The SCS is placed in your back on the left side (control devive), then the wires run from there up into your sympathetic area next to your spine. I hated it! The feeling drove me insane and aggravated my RSD.I don't know how anyone with RSD says that more tingling, pins and needles, and vibrations "feels good". A lot of people like it. I posted some pics for you.
Thanks again!
Blessings!
