Im 18 wks and my moms really pushing me to go this ONLY hospital that detoxs women pregnant & im really scared and worried that the baby will die, I want doctors opinions on this thanks.
get a hold of a doctor, fess up and start tapering now... you really don't want to have a baby born addicted to opiates. It is unpleasant and there can be 'social' consequences-i.e. state involvement. Find an OB that you trust, let them know what is going on and get off the stuff under doctor's supervision. You will be doing yourself and your baby a huge favor. Don't wait-do it now.
You are not alone. There are to many women to count that are hooked on drugs and pregnant. Doctors see this all the time and will respect you for deciding to quit.
Good luck,
