It's never okay to take any medicine when you are pregnant. If your life is not endangered or the babies then you shouldn't take anything. Very few studies have been done on the effects of most prescription medicines on the developing fetus. Doctors will tell you "no known effects" because of this. Use common sense and don't take anything unless you absolutely have to for your health or the baby trying to grow inside of you.

You take vicodin 750es about 4 a day and have for about a year now but the last week your kidney area has been very sore is the vicodin hurting your kidneys?
I doubt it. There haven't been any case studies that I could find that linked hydrocodone/acetaminophen(APAP), or Vicodin, to kidney failure. It is most likely due to something else like kidney stones or a UTI. One thing you might want to do if you're on the Vicodin ES tablets (that is 7.5mg hydrocodone/750mg APAP) four times a day is get a liver test done since long term APAP use can cause liver issues, especially if you drink. While you're at it, it would be a good idea to have your kidneys checked out as well. To answer your question though the Vicodin should not be causing kidney problems.
How should kidney stones be treated?
According to Mayoclinic.org, treatment for kidney stones will vary based on the size of the stone(s), the number of stones, and where the stones are located. Your doctor might recommend waiting to see if your body passes the stone on its own or surgery might be recommended. Several of my family members have had kidney stones, and they were all hospitalized while waiting for the kidney stones to pass; hospitalization allowed the doctors to monitor their condition and to give them pain killers and muscle relaxers.
How does kidney failure affect homeostasis?
Kidney stones can block the flow of urine through the kidney, ureters, and/or urethra, depending on where they are lodged. The ureters are tubes from the kidney to the bladder, and the urethra is the tube from the bladder to the outside. There are other consequences that can happen because of kidney stones, as well. There are microtubules and other components in the kidneys that can be damaged or scarred, for someone who gets kidney stones frequently. The other problem with kidney stones is that when they cause urine flow to slow or back up, the potential for inflammation and infection is increased. People that are frequently troubled by kidney stones are at a higher risk for Chronic Renal Disease.
What are kidneys stones?
Kidney stones occur when crystals form inside the kidney. They begin microscopically small, and grow over time. Most stones are passed as tiny grains of sand, while others may grow as large as a golf ball or more, or look like the horns of a moose (staghorn kidney stones). There are many reasons some people develop kidney stones. Medications can cause the development of some types of stones, as can some illnesses. The congenital condition medullary sponge kidney disease often results in stones formed so frequently that passing them is almost a daily occurrence. Most stones are the result of a metabolic imbalance. Sometimes the metabolic imbalance can be treated, sometimes it can't. A common way to treat patients for recurrent kidney stones is potassium citrate, which makes it less likely for certain stones to form inside the kidney. Some stones are the result of an imbalanced diet which may be easily altered without medication to help.
I take vicodin an pregnant is my baby okay?
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.

To be honest I'm not sure why you would try that unless you wanted to try to kill it or give it mental problems when its born.
