morphine in pregnancy

When I went in to the hospital the other night with my gall bladder they gave me a shot of morphine when I got there and 1 when I left they said that Morphine is one of the pain relievers that is ok during pregnancy...

With my 1st born I got an epidural and I was looking into different pain relief options for this pregnancy. Any of you got morphine instead of an epidural and how was your experience?

If you only had the morphine they gave you in the ER, you will probably be fine. It was probably a very small amount, and you had it for an injury. What I would do, is call your ob/gyn just so they are aware of the situation. Any time a doctor other than my OB precribed meds, I always called my OB to make sure they agreed with the medications.

So I just wanted to see if anyone else is or has gone through this before. I am now 21 weeks pregnant and have suffered 2 major gallbladder attacks of which i was dx with gallstones. I have had minor ones that i could manage at home but the 2 were so severe that i had to go to the ER. They gave me morphine and zofran while i was in the hospital. They discharged me with percocet.

I would really like to know if anyone has taken morphine in pregnancy and upon giving birth if their baby had with drawls or not AND what dosage PLEASE! I have heard a few moms say they were taking Oxycontin 40mg three times a day with no baby withdrawals, but did not know if morphine was the same. I do go to a pain management place, I am in severe pain, I do not need lecturing, there are times I think about just ending it all just to stop the pain.

no, hydrocodone is vicodin. Morphine sulfate is the active ingredient in morphine. If you are worried about a possible reaction to the medication, I would speak to your local pharmacists. I'm not sure if hydrocodone and morphine are in the same family of drugs. I know vicodin and percocet are in a similar family (due to codine), but morphine is much different. refer to this website. http://www.rxlist.com/duramorph-drug.

As the others have already said, you should NOT quit c/t while pregnanr, especially so soon in your pregnancy. As Maria said, everything you feel the baby feels and if your in w/d's so is the baby. Only problem is your baby mey not be strong enough to tolerate this and you risk having a miscarriage. You need to talk to your Dr and make him understand and if he wont listen, find one who will, and now.

I have been given Morphine in the hospitals during my heart attacks, and most recently was given Morphine quite frequently. I was told last April, the reason they were giving me Morphine at short intervals is because it "oxygenates" the heart. As long as I had the chest pains they were administering the Morphine at 30 minute intervals. I protested the frequent use, but was told it was for that reason I was being given that much.

I got pregnant in 2010 with my first son and was using oxycotoin, soon as i found out i wss pregnant i got on methadone. When he was born i was on 95ml and he came out fine and only scored up to 2. I have been on methadone since then and just had another boy that was born jan 29 2014, i was on 75ml and his score was all the way to 15 before they decieded to put him on morphine.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant and started bleeding, had an ultrasound and labs done. 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.

I had my gall bladder removed surgically last week. Ive had issues for over 2 yrs. In my secind trimester i had 3to attacks in 4 days. It was the worst pain ive ever experienced. I was in labor & delivery 3 times. Finally the surgeon thought it would be best if it is removed. If u have minor issues they recommended to wait it out until after delivery but my pain was overwhelming and i was afraid of early labor.

I have several chronic pain conditions and have been on heavy duty pain meds for years. I have been weaning off as fast as I can as I was planning on getting pregnant next year sometime. However... life throws you surprises and well here I am. I am on methadone and morphine. I'm down to only 5-10mg of methadone and 15-30mg of morphine daily. I am still having pain and need some amount to make life tolerable. However I know it's horrible for baby! Any tips?

Hello girls, Sorry I haven't been around to help, answer Q's ect I've had big trouble with my endometriosis-I actually thought I was miscarrying to begin with-the pain was horrendous.

She had a t/v scan and the baby was doing good and heart was healthy. The hcg levels were great. Then she was in bad pain. They gave morphine and then she was sent home. But she ended up losing him at home. We went back to confirm an empty uterus. A complete miscarriage was documented and the doctors were shocked. Was this due to the morphine? She weighs 112 lbs the injection was pushed through an iv line. Did the baby die from withdrawal symptoms?

my friend dissolved morphine tablets in hot water then injected it into her vein is this going to hurt her?

No one puts a drug in solution and then in a needle to squirt in their mouths. They could use an eyedropper to do that. You may need to wake fully up here if you wish to save your marriage. And you have legitimate concerns for health. I have already done a years worth of experimental chemo from the Mayo Clinic because of my carelessness. It is no joke. I would be glad to chat if you wish to PM me ---- unfortunately the bottom line seems to be that he needs to want to quit for himself.

too much morphine can result in death. I would advise you to call your pharmacist for information - they would be able to give you pharmaceutical information that would clarify this situation. I am sorry for you loss and the experience around it.

I recently started having extreme back pain had a MRI and I could not believe how bad my back is l4 and l5 is sitting on my nerve of s1 I have been taking MS Contin 60 milligrams for 5 years now from an accident in the surgery room. I take percocet 7.5 - 325 and it does not touch my pain. I called my doctor and he suggested ibuprofen 800. I took one when I was in extreme pain level 10 and my pain was gone within an hour completely gone.

s on 110mg twice a day with liquid morphine viles in between to keep him going - however, the morphine seemed to make his symptoms worse and he has turned into someone i dont even know - he wont allow me to contact him so i feel useless and obviously very hurt and worried about him.

Morphine must be okay for the liver because that's what they used when I was in the ICU following my liver transplant. Be VERY careful with morphine. I was on it for 7 days and went wacky with hallucinations of all kinds.

i dont know anything about morphine...never taken it, but some here have. i do know the thomas recipe in the health pages to the right of this page will offer good tips and vitamins and aminos for detox. glad to see you have had enough and gonna take your life back. keep us posted..

The morphine is actually much less problematic than the oxycodone. You should be comfortable taking the morphine and not the oxy.................

After running the gamut of pain medications in an effort to find some relief from the constant, chronic pain I endure from spondylolisthesis, I've been prescribed morphine tablets at 10 mgs per tab. I'm still getting no relief from the pain. Should I ask my GP for a higher dosage?

My understanding is that this study was done for the purpous of drug testing and why in some cases the drug came up negative in tests. Also I think that Morphine is a much stronger drug than Oxycodone. It is my opinion that Morphine controls pain on a much better level.....Thank's for your input. It's appreciated.

Second - is this a short acting (SA) or is it a long acting (LA) Morphine? 60mgs of Morphine is one heck of a one time dose. I would not take it. There could be serious complications, especially if you your system is opiate naive. Don't take it.

iam on anti depressents floxetine & amytriptlijne then tramadol & 80 mg of morphine a day do you think i would be ok to get a job

However, my pain became worst so I was sent to a pain management doctor who know has me on 15mg OxyContin and 15mg morphine er. I have been on fentanyl, embeda and opana, Right now I have a spacer in my right knee because the staph infection was so severe they could not put in a knee yet so I still have one more surgery to go. My problem is the morphine er is not working or lasting so I have started taking 30mg of morphine with still no relief.
