It will cause severe reactions in the baby. It will come out addicted to the pills also and could have development problems or worse. You need to see a doctor about your addiction now. It isn't fair to you or the baby to keep taking these pills while you are pregnant.

The FDA lists Vicodin (hydrocodone) under "Pregnancy category C," and tells us, "This medication may be harmful to an unborn baby, and could cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms in a newborn." As such, the potential for problems exists. You should have a serious talk with your obstetrician and your Pain Management specialists before proceeding.

Go to your doctor as soon as possible and discuss it with him or her, as a physician is the only qualified individual capable of determining whether your baby can tolerate vicodin. Vicodin is category C, meaning that it has not yet been determined if it is okay to take while pregnant. Stay with low doses, as low and infrequently as possible, so as to minimize any effects on the fetus and ask your physician as soon as you possibly can.
