Dear Jess, you need to ask your subs dr and your ob about getting off, because the baby may have withdrawal, so it is absolutely necessary that you talk to both the subs dr and your ob. Some drs fear that you may miscarry if you abruptly stop subs or opiate, but the drs are the one to ask. If you are not legally taking it, find a subs dr and do this right. I am not fussing at you, just trying to help you not get in trouble for taking subs you got off the street. We don't judge people here and try to help, but this is definitely a dr only question. Congrats and best of luck, patti

I agree with you, I never ever thought I'd be in this situation. I'm so disgusted with myself! I kept thinking this whole time I could just get off them. Now I'm terrified to tell my dr. I've tried at every app and lost my nerve. Thanks
Write it down on papaer and hand it to him next time. The good news is, babies born from subs moms, have less wd than opiate moms or methadone moms and some babies of subs moms have NO withdrawal. They aren't sure yet why some have mild and some have none, but if you had to be on something, subs is the better thing. Stick with us for support, ok, its gonna be alright. Patti
Can she call children services? I mean I have no other children but can I be reported? My biggest thing is living in the past, I keep looking back to the beginning of my preg wishing I had just done it cold turkey, I know I could have lost the baby but it would be better than this?
Thank you by the way for being so nice, I am severely severely depressed, I am lucky to have a wonderful husband and we have gotten through alot of bad things the last few years, I never dreamed this would be one of them! I myself used to bash people like me, how ironic? Now I'm the one who should be beaten to death
I guess she could but most drs don't. If you are legally on it, hqve your subs dr tell her, if not, get a subs dr first. Msn news did a story on moms to be with opiate and opiate replcemnts and they said subs babies did the best, many did NOT have withdrawal at all. I promise you we are NOt judgemental round here, if you need support, we're here. Patti
Dear Jess, I can only imagine what you must be feeling. I understand your fear and imbarassment but now the focus has to be first and foremost on your baby. This may a new experience for you but your doctor has seen this situation many times before I would think. You may find that it might not be anywhere near as bad as what you fear. Your doctor is concerned for the welfare of your baby, as well as you, but he can't help you or your baby when he doesn't know the whole story. The sooner you get the courage to tell him the sooner he can do what ever he may need to do to ensure the best outcome for you and your baby. You will feel such a relief once you tell him. Please do yourself and your baby a favor and don't put if off any longer. Best wishes, rvnew.
