I thought there was no way I could ever become, since we have tried for over 10 yrs now, but here I am pregnant! Has anyone ever gone through this or know someone who has? What are my chances of having a normal baby. I added it up and have taken 60 pills of Loratab! I am a nervous wreck!! Anyone?
Thanks

I wouldn't worry, I am pregnant right now (25 weeks) and my obgyn prescribes vicodin for my severe migraines, since I can't take my zomig. Just talk to yours and I'm sure he will put your mind at ease, there hasn't been any findings on birth defects from this medicine, you just need to becareful not to take it on a daily basis close to delivery since the baby can be born addicted. I have a really good doctor and I know they wouldn't do anything to harm me or my unborn child, please try to relax, everything is going to be just fine...promise!!!!

Let me know how it goes, and congrats!!!!!

Congratulations Louise!! That is terrific news. I think you are off to a wonderful, wonderful New Year!! I don't think you have anything to fear as far as narcotics causing birth defects. As the other poster suggested you do have to be careful that the baby isn't born addicted though. You should speak with your doc though and have him/her to reassure you. Again congrats!!

Hi and congratulations!!!!

Don't worry a bit...I was pregnant with twins and had many many problems with my kidneys. The babies were laying on my kidneys and causes fluid to build up...very painful. They had me on percocet. I had 3 surgeries while pregnant and after each surgery they had me on demoral. Since I had cervical cancer prior to becoming pregant, I had high risk doctors for the fear of the babies being born premature..which they were. 26 weeks gestation. But throughout most of my pregnancy, I was either on percocet, demoral or morphine. My babies even though they were born 1.5lbs & 1.10lbs were healthy. just tiny. Today 3 years later, they are above average in IQ. They are wonderful. So don't worry..just enjoy!!!
