If yoo self report, they will treat you differently than if they find out otherwise. States that allow abortion cant do much about 1st or 2nd trimester preg so get i t under control now. They will find out and that will be a different story. You dont want to put yourself in a position where you avoid prenatal care out of fear. Best of luck to you!! What pain symptoms do you have?

Get in and see your OB right away and tell them the truth.  They will be able to help you get off these safely.

Are you buying the percs illegally or are they prescribed? Either way you need to tell your OB. Youre on a very low amount,but you will still have w/d's if you just quit c/t. so they can help taper you off. Are you on them for a reason? Do you have pain or just take them to get high?

Yes, it's dangerous to abruptly stop and not good to continue. What to do?  Be honest and tell your OB right away so he/she can advise you.
Then you will need to get yourself some help to deal with your addiction.
