i also have been given co-codamol to take but havent heard of what your having so to be safe, speak to someone xxx
The chemist is prob just being extra careful - how many wks are you? cause that can make a difference too. The hosp should know best - they know all your individual details.
take care, hope you feel better

Least you can kill the pain now with tablets! xxx
Anyway, the doctor I saw in the first place had checked the formulary and spoken to gynae consultants, so it was actually fine to take them and would have done more damage not to, but it is annoying and frightening that they can't agree on this.
It really depends on the doc i think, but they say take when neccessary which can be alot when you're in that much pain! Am a nurse as well so already have grudges against doctors who try to scare people for taking medication when it really is called for.
Hope you're feeling a bit better now. It's a minefield being pregnant sometimes isnt it. Take care hun. xxx
