Pregnancy
Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Hydrocodone bitartrate and acetaminophen tablets should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Nonteratogenic Effects: Babies born to mothers who have been taking opioids regularly prior to delivery will be physically dependent. The withdrawal signs include irritability and excessive crying, tremors, hyperactive reflexes, increased respiratory rate, increased stools, sneezing, yawning, vomiting, and fever. The intensity of the syndrome does not always correlate with the duration of maternal opioid use or dose. There is no consensus on the best method of managing withdrawal.

vicoden does pass to the baby, if you have an addiction to vicoden, you could try a methadone clinic with being pregnant you would have no trouble getting in; this would be better than doing harm to your baby or having it born addicted and taken from you.

NO ONE tests pregnant women for the dangers involved with drugs. You will not find documentation on such testing, it doesn't exist. You will however find documentation on birth defects related to use of narcotics. Vicodin is a narcotic.
Anything you take, your unborn child takes too. And much of what you take that just gives you a buzz, can kill the fetus.
