Answers ASAP on Addiction while pregnant!!

[ashalina]

Hey everyone If someone could PLEASE help me with the questions I have! So I am about 23 weeks pregnant now and I have an addiction to percocets, It started when I got in2 an accident and I was prescribed them, when I was done with the script, I had gotten more from friends, street etc, and took long enough to actually see how i was without it. I didnt mean to get addicted and I wish so much that I never would have =( Now I didnt find out I was pregnant till the begging of my 2nd trimester and I told my obgyn as soon as I had my 1st appt with him. At that time I had heard from friends 2 wien myself off my taking suboxene , so thats what I did, I bought those of the street and was told how 2 do it by somebody who has actually been 2 a rehap b4 so i figured it would def have helped me, but when i finally got off the suboxene and weined myself off about 2 weeks later, I still felt like wen they wore off I was feeling just miserable & body was achin n withdrawls were back , so i gave in again! My doctor in the meantime knew  everything because i was completely honest w him and he had made me an appt with a psychiatrist or therapist? one of those, well i waited 2weeks 4 the appt and waited 2 hrs in the waiting room, 2 get there to have the lady tell me she doesn't even see or treat preggo women!! All I could do is cry! I tried 2 explain to her bout the suboxen n she was just saying there was nothing she could do! So i got some numbers for the methadone clinic and other places that help ppl who r addicted but yet again noone will help a pregnant women, So I told my doctor and he was still trying 2 figure out what 2 do. In the meantime he still knows what I am going through. Not to mention I do not get a script so I have 2 constantly get the percocets and be in the fear of knowing Idk what could happen to my baby, this baby is going to be my world and all I want is to be off and have a health baby!  At this point I feel like i am lost and stuck I feel like I have no options??? Can somebody please give me any advice or any information that they know of ! I am so scared !! Thank You so much!!!

wow first off you really should have stoped all together when you found out, i was a heroin addict when i found out i was pregnant with my first i was 8 weeks in to my pregnancy, i was in the worst shock of my life, my doctor told me to wean off and i said no way i quit! my ex hubby and me decided to go pick up one last time, we waited at the bus stop for that bus to get to hastings where we met our guys, and the bus came, mike got up and on the bus i couldnt even get off the bench i looked at him and shook my head, he got off the bus i broke down in tears begging him to not go, we didnt go, i couldnt hurt my baby, i have never used heroin since and never will, but you are further into it so idk, i had 3 friends after i found out that i was pregnant that were also pregnant 2 got clean with me, and had a healthy baby but started using after it was born and my one good friend didn quit, she spent the last month of her pregnancy in the hospital, her boy friend would bring her the dope every day and she gave birth to a very sick very unhealthy little baby and that baby was taken from her, and she didnt care and now shes dead, you have to do it for you and that poor baby, i was addicted for years very heavily and quit cold turkey just like that! and i had a healthy baby girl beautiful, nothing is or was wrong with her she is almost 8 and she saved my life, thought ill never tell her that but it is the truth, i am currently getting clean again off oxy's wich is the same withdrawal and is hard but you have to do it you have no choice you will be so lost when that baby's blood test is done and takin form you please please stop for you and that lovey baby

All I can say is GOOD for you. You are on your way by asking for help. Please stop, let your OBGYN find another source for you. Does your home town have a health center or WIC office? Treatment center? You you could always call DCFS and ask, you don't have to tell how you are. Did you know that under law Dr. are required to notify social services of things like this? Wanted to give you the heads up. It would be a way of getting help? If you do what is required, they won't take the baby. In the mean time ,remember everything you take goes to the baby through your blood. I wish you luck and hope you have a healthy baby.

its very quiet on here at the weekends, you will get more answers and advice soon,so are you just taking the percocets? why does suboxone come into it?, or a methadone clinic, ? thats going on even stronger meds.and sub should only be taken under a drs. supervision, stay calm and help will come.
