I became pregnant while on suboxone. It was not a planned pregnancy and I should have been more careful. My daughter has a 50/50 chance of withdrawing after birth. If she shows signs of wd they will have to keep her in the hospital to ween her off the meds. That is no way to start a life. I pray every day that my daughter is born healthy and will be able to come home with me. Tell her to seriously reconsider getting pregnant while on subs. It makes for a very stressful and anxiety filled pregnancy.

Standard Protocol

When a pregnant woman wants to detoxify from opiates or other opioids, the recognized standard of care, according to the National Health Institute, is methadone treatment while under a doctor's supervision. Methadone is not known to cause birth defects nor have any long-term affects on a baby. There are other medications available for opiate detoxification such, as Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), or Subutex, (buprenorphine), but because they are "Pregnancy Category C" medications, meaning they are known to cause harmful and possibly fatal birth defects on a fetus, the are not recommended for use in detoxifying pregnant women.
