A member asked:

Emergency department doctor gave me dilaudid in my first trimester of my pregnancy, will my baby have side affects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Rare use of narcotics during pregnancy administered by physician is OK. Becomes more of a problem late in pregnancy if using lots of narcotics as baby can be born addicted and have to go trough narcotic withdrawl, which if you ever watched a newborn do this is a horrible way to start life.
