I suggest you don't just ask anybody this question. Read the information slip that should have come with the package and check with your Dr. What muscle relaxant are you thinkig of? I looked up an over the counter Muscle Relaxant on e-MIMs which is an Australian Medication reference used by Nurses and Drs. The relaxant's generic name is Baclofen which is the main Muscle Relaxant on the list and this was the pregnancy category it received. Category B3
Drugs that have been taken by only a limited number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age, without an increase in the frequency of malformation or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the human fetus having been observed. Studies in animals[1] have shown evidence of an increased occurrence of fetal damage, the significance of which is considered uncertain in humans.
Then I looked up Dantrolene Socium (main Trade name is Dantrium). This received the following pregnancy category. Category B2
Drugs that have been taken by only a limited number of pregnant women and women of childbearing age, without an increase in the frequency of malformation or other direct or indirect harmful effects on the human fetus having been observed. Studies in animals[1] are inadequate or may be lacking, but available data show no evidence of an increased occurrence of fetal damage.
Basically there hasn't been enough research into this to be sure. I suggest that if this is an ongoing problem you see your Dr.

Do muscle relaxers help torn ligaments?
In cases where torn ligaments are continually being pulled and stressed by nearby muscles, preventing them from healing, it is helpful to relax the muscles for a while. It is the body's healing that actually helps the torn ligaments, but the muscle relaxers can reduce the stress and allow healing to take place.
What are some commonly prescribed muscle relaxers?
You may or may not need a muscle relaxer. It depends on what your doctor says is wrong with your back. If you have a slipped disc or something else wrong with the spine, muscle relaxers aren't going to help you. See a doctor to determine which medication you need to be taking.
