    Morphine on 9 week 4 day of pregnancy

    Hi,

    On my 9 week 4 day of pregnancy, I had to go to ER for abdominal pain. They gave me morphine as below:

    4mg morphine in IV and effect wore off in 3 hours.
    Repeated 4 mg morphine in IV at 3rd hour again.

    I wasn’t given morphine or any other pain medication again. I am in 10th week now.

    Has the morphine caused harm to the baby?

    Thanks,
    Yash

      Yash,

      Morphine is not known to increase the risk of malformations in pregnancy especially for just a few doses.

        Hi Dr Hale,

        Could that dose have increased risk of psychosis or schizophrenia in adult life? (Malformation of Brain for this is not detectable through ultrasound/tests in womb).

        The schizophrenia dot com website asks to avoid painkillers.

        Please provide your opinion.

        Best,
        Yash
