I did it, I came clean with my OB, he told me to go to my primary, and get a legal script.... He isn't going to report me, he was understanding... I can't believe I did it!! I feel like a weight has been lifted!! I still have to deal with josh when he gets home tonight.. Which is gonna be a pain!!!!! So i am going to call my Counceler on speaker who has dealt with woman in my situation so that he can have a better understanding and hopefully he will be cooperative!!!!!! He doesn't knwo at all what its like, he has never been an addict so he does not understand!!!

BTW, you have such a long time to go, maybe you could wean from the 20mg a day.  Talk to the OB, he will help you.  I mean maybe he could come up with a weaning plan, one that doesnt' make you to sick or refer you to a dr that can help

I think the best thing to do is relax.  I know how hard it is, just think of your baby first, it was hard for me to tell the dr I had a probelm too!!  I was so scared, but I had to suck it up and seek help.  I am on subutex and no one in my family knows.  I really don't think they need to either, but that is me.  Yes, they do test the baby after it is born, so if you keep this from the Dr and you go have your baby and the baby is postive and you haven't said anything to your Dr and you don't have a legel scrpit, social services may get involved.  It depends on what state you are in too.  I mean if you took subutex, it would keep you from getting sick, I mean you could try that.  Maybe you could find a new sub dr.

My OB knows and he can't tell any one that I am on subutex. You on such a low dose too,  I would just tell the Dr and see what he says you should do.  I would just make sure he knows. What ever you do, I am here for you just like everyone else.

You may wan to introduce him to this site and let him see for himself what I along with others in here are going thru everytime we try to get away from opiates cold turkey. That there are "real" physical affects.  Insomnia, headaches, toilet problem, exhaustion, and the mental anguish as well etc. Ask him to just have an open mind "just for I minute". Try to tell him you want what he wants. To be free of them. Just a thought JMC. It's worth a try. You have to find a way to set your fears aside as I can feel your stress coming right thru the computer. That is not healthy for you or the baby.

I told him, my fiance, and he was not understanding, I have begged him to do research on opiate addicts so many times before and he never did! So ofcourse he wont understand, and now he wants to. about the methadone, I tried to explain it to him he freaked out when i told him i was only on 20mgs a day!!! that is a low mg, compaired to what i have seen before!! He thinks I want to take them to get high, he doesnt understand that its so Iwont be sick!!!!!! I wish he understood!!!! I pray to god this doesn't ruin us, cause I love him so much, he is the best thing thats ever happened to me... he is such a good man, and ihated lying to him about it!!! he doesnt understand my pain at all!!!!!!!! He doesnt know what its like to be an addict!!!! He has no clue how hard it is!!!! I just hope he comes to a point to where he supports me with love!!! Cause i love him more than anything in the world!!!
