morphine and breastfeeding

At this point in time whenever a migraine comes on I have to go to the Emergency Room, and I am well known there, I get a shot of Zofran for nausea and a shot of either Demerol or Morphine, but it happens so often that I am unclear on the aftereffects and I am breastfeeding so what harm is it doing to my new baby?? I guess I just don't know what to do anymore!!

I was on morphine in the hospital for a while they took Mr off that and gave me hydrocodone and sent me home with some

m not pregnant but step it down during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Docs say what I take is fine and safe for baby. My first was a very chilled baby which didn't change when I stopped breastfeeding at 6 months and she's very smart at nearly 4 yrs old now. NHS website says baby can experience withdrawals from what I take but I've never experienced that. While docs tell me baby is safe I will keep taking them. What has your doctor said to you?

My baby girl arrived yesterday via c - section after failure to progress after trying to be induced with pitocin for 2 days . I was terrified but it was so worth it . My gorgeous princess is here she was 7 lbs 6 oz 20 in long and is breastfeeding very well , they can't believe I'm a ftm. Due date was on the 24th , but My princess made her arrival , I'm so loving being a mommy , I'm so in love .

Anyone that's already had their baby, what can you take for migraine while breast feeding? Besides Tylenol it's worthless. I've had this migraine since Thursday and I don't want to go to quick care, they'll give me a morphine shot and idk If it's safe while nursing? Any advice is appreciated I know I'm in the wrong place but nobody answers the bf forum...

Then weigh the pros and cons and make an educated decision. And you can always fill the Rx and just hold on to it in case regular Tylenol doesn't help.

Normally the anxiety resolves itself within a few weeks but this time it has persisted and continues on. Could it be caused by the morphine? This is my thought but the pharmacist said he didn't think it was. Also my doctor is suggesting 8 tylenol a day to replace the morphine. I am so skeptical of it being adequate though I know I can manage less than the 60 mg of morphine now. What are your thoughts?

If anything, I was the groggy one after because of the morphine they gave in the surgery and then the benadryl I got after lol. My baby girl was fully active and awake for breastfeeding.

CONGRATS!!! Glad to hear it went good this time. I can't wait to see pics! How did you find out you were allergic to morphine? I had morphine and demerol during my c-section and was itchy for the next 24+ hours.

i have heard different opinions from the medical community about breastfeeding and newborn opiate wd this doctor is agaisnt taking opiates while breastfeeding but i know several women who were told by their doctor to breastfeed because it helps the baby with wd symptoms i do encourage you to look up information, but keep in mind that your doctor knows your medical history better than we do, i hope this helps, please remember that you are not alone!!!

I am not sure what the circumstances are that surround your situation, but I do know that strokes are caused by a blood clot or a brain bleed. My mom just had 2 strokes and they actually gave her a morphine pump for her head because it hurt so bad. I do not think they would have done that if there was a chance it would cause more strokes. Keep doing your research though, I guess you never know!

Hello! I wanted to thank you for the information on Morphine. I neglected to mention that it was not the hospice nurse but the nurse from the nursing home. We will mention this. I know that they use a Fentanyl (hope I'm spelling it correctly) patch and morphine by mouth. They were giving him the patch with Vicodin but I guess because his pain was increasing they switched to Morphine. We are due to have a conference this week. Again, thank you!

I would be on the safe side and go get checked out. Morphine is a really strong drug especially if your pregnant.hope it all turns out good.

Still have four more herniated discs from degenerate disc and also stenosis. Lots of pain but 150mg Morphine a day does the trick. Willing to give antidepressant a try......

Morphine is a terrible one to quit ct....and I doubt that the Doc would want to prescribe enough Norco's to do the job...make certain the taper is long and slow....nausea and vomiting are solid w/d symptoms. Stay well hydrated unless you like your fluid I.V. - most of the MS prescribed outpatient these days is MSContin - morphine sulfate continuos release.

He was very nice and helpful. He gave me morphine extended release 30mg tables and I need to take those 3x a day. I asked him about pregnancy and this medication. He said that there is always a chance of compilations. He said he has seen several patients that have gotten pregnant on this medication, some have tapered off of it and some continued to stay in this medication.

Hi..I'm new here and hoping that someone might be able to answer this question. Can Elavil be used as an effective means to releive morphine withdrawl symtoms? I'm about to go down that road and I know the agony of withdrawl from morphine and don't want to go through it again...or at least as bad as it was before. I have decreased my morphine intake from 150mg a day down to 90mg within two days.

Ultrasound showed me at 5 weeks. When I was 5 weeks I had a migraine and the er dr gave me morphine even after confirming the pregnancy. Could I be having a miscarriage and could the morphine have caused it? I don't have any pain just bleeding more than spotting.

a combo of morphine, and any other drug the hospital gave him

he has severe pain throughout his body but mainly his back and legs but the morphine seemed to heighten the symptoms and only slightly take the pain away. we were together 2 and a half years and i was his life really i.e. meant the world to him.

How hard on the liver is morphine I was just told 1/4 of my liver is gone. and the viroal count is over 17 million.

Well, first of all i know what i would tell your husband. Who cares what he wants or doesn't like. Look at the mess you are in. Sounds like you need to go and speak with a doctor and explain that you want to get off the morphine. Don't forget to tell him about this husband also who is obviously causing you alot of anxiety.

My husband is addicted to Morphine. I have never done any type of drug and I really don't know what to do to help. Every time I think I know what is going on I find out something else he has lied about. At first it was just taking the pills, then it was crushing the pills. Now I'm finding needles and spoons everywhere. He claims that he gets the pills down to liquid form and puts them in the needle and squirts it in his mouth. I just don't believe him anymore.

Sounds like you need a cleanse, antioxidants, probiotics, fiber and exercise. You can either blame the morphine or do the above and feel better.

First Tramadol and then vicodin, and now morphine and percocet. I continue to do a great job and produce fantastic products. My managers know about my chronic pain and are very accepting of the pain medications I take as they don't affect my job performance and they know that I am responsible with my meds. I am on 60 mg of morphine and 20-30 mg of oxycodone within percocet. I honestly think that you shouldn't bring up your pain meds at an interview unless asked.

s you will face, cause it seems like everyone has a little bit different stuff going on but, i am on a high dose of morphine and recently ran out of my pills and i am not kidding you when i say that you will feel like ****. i actually thought i was gonna die and that was just day 2. thank god i got my grubby's on some from my doc but, i didn't know what i was gonna do. please take care and maybe talk to your doctor about it before you do it.

They gave me morphine when I went into preterm labour on monday and it was awful. It made me really dopey and spaced out and I could still feel the contractions but obviously not as painful. The dr said next time I can ask for a half dose if I'd prefer not to be so out of it.
