Morphine and Pregnancy

Morphine and Pregnancy:

Morphine is a narcotic, and using this drug during the end of a pregnancy may cause narcotic withdrawal in the infant after delivery. Such withdrawal symptoms may include:
 
  • Hyperactive reflexes
  • Fast breathing
  • Irritability and excessive crying
  • Shakiness (tremors)
  • Increased stools
  • Sneezing
  • Yawning
  • Vomiting
  • Fever.
