Will The Morphine Have A Bad Effect On The Development Of The Baby?
I just left the ER.. I had no idea I was 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant! Yet there is no fetal pole and 1.5 cm fluid collection that likey represents a subchorionic hemorrhage? My Hcg levels 14941.0? My doctor said I m going to have a missed abortion.. so he gave me morphine for the pain.how could this be and if it was to early to see the heartbeat and next week my OB does. Will the morphine have a bad effect on the developement on my baby?

Hi.
For now, you are threatened to having an abortion, but your doctor could have prescribed progesterone to help try and avoid that, but I am guessing your doctor knows best. Usually we wait until the 6th-7th week to confirm an abortion, and until then assume the woman is pregnant. But morphine is not good for the pregnancy for now, not until the status is confirmed at least.
Best wishes.
