Diamorphine, an opioid, is sometimes used during labor for pain relief. While it can provide effective analgesia for the mother, it may also cross the placenta and affect the baby. Potential impacts on the newborn include respiratory depression, sedation, and withdrawal symptoms if the mother has received high doses. Close monitoring of the baby is essential after delivery to address any complications.

How is diamorphine stronger than morphine sulphate?
Diamorphine is not actually stronger than morphine per se, but it does act a lot quicker than morphine. Diamorphine is converted into morphine in the body and although diamorphine and morphine are almost identical, doses of them are not therapeutically equivalent. For example, 30mg of diamorphine is the same as 45mg of morphine. So maybe diamorphine can be thought of as being stronger than morphine, as it takes 1/3 less to give the same effect. Also the quicker onset of diamorphine can give the impression of it being stronger.
