Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns.....

As per your complain Oxycodone use in pregnancy is contraindicated as it can cross the placenta and affect the baby and can cause respiratory distress in the baby as well as even many a times it has been seen in causing dependency in the new born baby but only if taken for long term during pregnancy..
As you have taken only two pills that too in a time gap of 4 hours you need not to worry as it would have not caused so early defects in the foetus..
You can take Paracetamol[tylenol] for pain which is considered safe in pregnancy..
For infection you can take Amoxicillin as it is safe during pregnancy..

You can consult your Gynaecologist and get evaluated and she can do necessary investigations if needed..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
