Ultram use during pregnancy?!
Question: My sister has a chronic condition which is accompanied by alot of pain. She had been taking Percocet and other painkillers, but now because she is pregnant, her Dr. has prescribed Ultram instead of the opioids. I did a little reasearch and found that they say it is not safe to use during pregnancy. Her Dr. reassured her that it is ok to take and that it is by far safer than taking the Percocet or the other meds she was on.
I would like to know if anyone has used this drug while pregnant, and if any, did you or your child experience and bad effects by taking this drug while pregnant?

i was perscribed fioricet when i was pregnant and i took them. fioricet is much stronger than ultram. i don't know if ultram causes birth defects, but get a second opinion.
