Hello.
My husband is in Morphine and Vicodine . He takes time realise Morphine and Vicodine all ready 6 years. He has a very bed pain in his back ( disks problems).
Well we thinking about have a baby!!!!
My worry is ---------- is is baby will be healthy? I talk to doctors they tell me that what ever husband takes it will not case no birth defects.
I am scared the baby will be unhealthy or with birth defects I did have a Miscarriage when I was 12 weeks pregnant...Doctors do not know what is the problem was, but doctor did tell me that the medication that my husband take did not have any effect on it and that if I will have 3 miscarriges then they will start worry.
Thanks so much
Svetlana

Remember, your husband, in reality, only gives you half a cell, and you do the rest. Your body is the most important thing to the health of your baby, so unless there is a genetic defect (which would be passed on) there is very little that he can do to affect the baby, and I don't believe that morphine or vicoden have either been shown to affect the motility (swimming ability) of sperm. Keep yourself healthy and worry more about the drugs you take. If you have any questions about any drugs, your OB/GYN and usually a pharmacist will be happy to help. Good luck, and take care!

The medications that he is taking shouldn't affect your pregnancy at all. As for the miscarriage, sometimes they happen and there is no reason that can be found. My sister had 2 miscarriages after having a healthy baby and then she still had a healthy baby after the miscarriages. Sometimes they just happen, I know that's not very comforting, but that's just the way it is sometimes. Good luck and I hope that everything goes well when you find out that you are pregnant!

I'm not saying that any of these drugs are recommended, OK, but if your doctor says they are not associated with birth defects or problems in pregnancy, they aren't.
I know for a fact that morphine isn't a problem. I was given morphine while in labor with my first child.
Vicodin I don't know about, but your doctor surely does.
