YES. Any chemical medication is poison. Try working your way around your pain by other means, like natural remedies (but these can be hurtful to babies too, watch out some herbs are toxic to infants). First question is, what is the cause of your pain? Adressing the cause is the way to go, not dulling the pain.

Can pain medication hurt the baby?

Yes some of them can indeed hurt the baby. You should always ask a doctor or a pharmacist if they medicine is safe to take. Tylenol, or the store brands that have acetaminophen, are generally considered relativly safe. Defininatly avoid aspirin or Ibuprofen, they can harm the baby. I try to avoid pain medication if I can just to be safe, but there are times when the pain has been bad enough that I did need some. If you can get away with not taking it for mild things, like minor headaches, I would.
