Think of it this way....it takes alot of guts and courage to do what you're getting ready to do.  We all believe you should tell your ob, but we know, in truth, it's not that easy.  But....your first decision as a parent is going to be to put that child ahead of your own shame....and everyone knows that's the right thing to do.  Be strong....

Please be totally honest with your OB.  Most babies are tested at birth and if anything shows up CPS will step in.  Your baby's safety is the No1 priority here.  Let us know how it goes with your OB~

I dont think u should stop now b/c your too close to delivery! You should tell your dr so he/she can be set up to treat the baby once he is born. You want your baby to have a chance? Tell your dr!

Hi there and welcome. I agree with Vicki above. Tell your doctor, and be completely honest.  Do not abruptly stop right now. Your doctor will advise you on what is best for you and the baby. Take care!

Hi-  It's very good to tell your OB about your use. Don't stop now. Stopping abruptly is dangerous in pregnancy and puts the infant at risk for wd's, fetal seizures, stress, and other unpleasant conditions.  Wait to get advice from the doctor and be honest about your situation.  Good luck-
