Can 2mg Morphine cause miscarriage?

[sadmom83]

My wife went to ER for bleeding. She had a t/v scan and the baby was doing good and heart was healthy. The hcg levels were great. Then she was in bad pain. They gave morphine and then she was sent home. But she ended up losing him at home. We went back to confirm an empty uterus. A complete miscarriage was documented and the doctors were shocked. Was this due to the morphine? She weighs 112 lbs the injection was pushed through an iv line. Did the baby die from withdrawal symptoms? My wife was 7 weeks 6 days and fetus measured 8 weeks. Viability of the pregnancy existed right before his loss.

Hello. I am SO sorry for your loss. That's truly one of the hardest things to go through and I hope you and your wife are able to soon have peace. Pregnancy is such that the statistic is 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage during the first trimester (up to 13 weeks).  It's very common, unfortunately.  And you can have everything be totally find and STILL miscarry in the later part of the first trimester without any warning. this is why many women elect not to tell anyone they are pregnant until after 13 weeks.  I will just say that I do not think the morphine injection had anything to do with the miscarriage.   She was having bad pain so they gave morphine. The bad pain could have and likely was the beginning of the miscarriage.  Again, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Please know that the vast majority of women go on after miscarriage to have healthy pregnancies.
