TTC. On Tecta And Morphine Pills For Pain In Arm Due To Being Shot, On Injectable Gravol For Bad Stomach. Safe To Get Pregnant?

I am 25 years old and was shot in the arm back in june. Since I have been on tecta due to a bleeding ulcer and without it I vomit non stop and wind up in the ER for a night or two. I am wanting to get pregnant and am wondering what I would do as I see tecta is not safe for pregnancy? Also I was wondering, I take morphine pills once in awhile for the severe pain I still get in my arm (the gun shot shattered my elbow and I now have rods and plates in there) and I read that is safe, as well as injectable gravol when my stomach gets too bad...

Dear patient,

Thanks for the query. No medication is absolutely safe in pregnancy, but there are some that have to be avoided if possible (those that are Class C) or completely at all costs (those that are Class X). Class A are those that have been shown to be "safe" in humans (very few, like acetaminophen). Most meds fall into Class B; these we try not to use during the first trimester, but if there is a medical need that exceeds the risk they could be used.


Yours truly,
