Yeah there is a lot of issues around opiods. Doctors need to be stricter with their perscribing and need to be less concerned with the comfort side of patients. My wife had a c section with our last child and she only took over the counter advil to manage her pain. I understand that many people can't do that and it was something I've never seen before despite being around that type of surgery a lot but the doctors were not supportive of her non-opoid choice.

She was hassled to take oxycodone on several occasions both before the surgery and after. She was even lied to as the doctors assured her it would not affect the child but we have witnessed our first child affected by the drug through breast feeding. The seriousness of these drugs doesn't even seem to be fully realized by medical practitioners and that comes back to the fact that nobody is openly conversing about this topic.
