What is the risk, while pregnant, to the baby if i take hydrocodone for pain? the amount is 5mg once twice every three days?

There is a risk!: Why are you taking this? Is it a necessity to use this during your pregnancy? Avoidance of any narcotic medication during pregnancy is recommended. If you have a chronic condition and truly need it, then discuss with your doctor. Any infants exposed to narcotics in utero may undergo withdrawal after birth , and experience neonatal abstinence syndrome.This often requires nicu care and hospitalizati.

Pregnancy risk: The risk of hydrocodone use during pregnancy is low. No teratogenic effects have been shown. Use of hydrocodone close to delivery can cause a newborn to be less vigorous and can compound any breathing difficulties the infant might have at or shortly after birth.
