Likely: Make sure the OB and the pediatrician know about all of your medications.

Narcotics and baby: Any narcotic medication taken during pregnancy passes the placenta to your baby.Knowing this along with your OB and scheduling a c-section delivery is helpful. There is potential for respiratory depression at birth and possible narcotic dependence and or withdrawl symptoms for your child after birth if you have been taking Norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) for the entire length of your pregnancy. Make sure all are aware.
