I don't know what to do.  What are the effects of these medicines on my unborn baby?  Has anybody else had to deal with this?  I looked for a rehab and no one will take me because of my pregnancy.  Is there a chance that these drugs can cause birth defects?

Rehabs are probably hesitant to take you because of the effects of withdrawals on your baby. Withdrawal is very hard on a fetus and going cold turkey could actually cause you to miscarry. The absolute best thing you can do is get in to see an OB Dr ASAP, and be totally honest about the meds you are taking. They will help you figure out where to go from there.
Good luck!
