A: Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is a narcotic pain reliever similar to morphine commonly used to treat moderate to severe pain, bone pain, dental pain, and migraines. Hydromorphone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Do not drink alcohol.
The initial routine prenatal visit should occur between 6 and 8 wk gestation. Follow-up visits should occur at about 4-wk intervals until 28 wk, at 2-wk intervals from 28 to 36 wk, and weekly thereafter until delivery. Prenatal care includes screening for disorders, taking measures to reduce fetal and maternal risks, and counseling.
Many healthcare providers will schedule your first visit for when you're about 8 weeks pregnant. Some will see you sooner, particularly if you have a medical condition, have had problems with a pregnancy in the past, or are having symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, or severe nausea and vomiting.
