Hi everyone , New Year’s Eve I ended up in A +E with kidney stones, it caused a lot of trauma and I was bleeding a lot through my urethral when urinating and wiping . The pain was excruciating and my pulse was going 130bpm . I was 14 weeks pregnant . The doctors gave me IV paracetamol and one dose of Oramorph , which didn’t help much with the pain🙈. It took 10 hours and two stones eventually came out 😩.
I have since felt so guilty taking morphine . Since the incident I have spoken to a consultant, gp -as follow up - and two nurses ( one is an early pregnancy nurse ) and they said that Oramorph is absolutely fine and low risk .
I’ve had a follow up scan in EPU and the baby looked really healthy and growing well .
I’m nervous of getting more kidney stones even though I’m drinking my body weight with water and eating healthy throughout the whole pregnancy .
I’m however still feeling guilty and read some bad stuff online . Things like , your child can have developmental issues when growing up etc . Is there anyone out there that had to take opioid during their pregnancy and their child grew up with no cognitive and physical issues ?
Thanks in advance
