  I was on norco for back pain due to an accident I had. Which resulted in herniated discs. My gyro told me I could continue taking them as needed because the benefits outweigh the risk of being in pain. Has anyone else had to take this throughout pregnancy? Please no negative comments.

  Trust your doctor.

  Yep. And if you don't trust your doctor, see another one for a second opinion.

  My doctor prescribed me norco for a migraine I had for days that wouldn't let up. Thank goodness he did because I felt like I was dying. If your doctor says it's better for you to take it, then I would trust him. Talk to him about your concerns if you want to discuss it further.

  Mmmm a gyro sounds good right now.
  
  But on a serious note, I was prescribed Norco for herniated discs also. I personally choose not to take it. I choose pain over any possible harm to my child. But if your sandwich, I mean doctor, says it's fine, I would trust them.

  I had to take Norco for after a root canal in my first trimester.

  This is good.  Trying to wean off of the norco as soon as possible is good advice.  My previous job as a nurse was to take care of opiate/drug exposed newborns.  If you take norco through your entire pregnancy, your baby will go through a withdrawal period after delivery as he/she no longer has the norco on board.  To the baby, it doesn't matter whether you have a prescription from your doctor or you are taking percocet from a drug dealer.  I'm sorry to hear that you're in pain - I hope that it becomes more manageable.
