My sister and I had babies at the same times. She suffers from severe migranes. Her doctor prescribed Vicodin for her during her pregnancy. I just wanted to know is this normal? He was born premature and he isn't developing his motor skills properly. I know babies develope at different stages because each one is diiferent but could this medicine might a factor the reason why?

Speaking for my own personal experience, I also was prescribed Vicodin when I was pregnant for migraines, and also for leg pains or rheumatism. I was also prescribed Vicodin after my baby was born for pain, and I was breastfeeding. It is generally considered a "safe" drug. I myself personally and from my knowledge don't honestly believe that the Vicodin caused preterm delivery of the baby. The preterm birth itself has caused the development problems. What caused the preterm birth could be any number of reasons. In time, the child may catch up. Some do, some don't. You just never know. I wish you alll and the baby the best! How old is the baby now? I just love babies!

Thanks for the info. I had never heard of Vicodin being used on pregant women until my sis. Our babies are 6 months old. This is my 3 and her 1 child.
