I am 7 months prgnant and quit taking hydrocodine as of yesterday, will it be in the babies system when born!? I hope it's not too late

Good luck.  If you are struggling in the slightest to get it done, think of the baby going through the withdrawals you are experiencing.  You have to suffer now so he/she won't have to suffer.  DO WHATEVER THE DOCS SAY to do to prevent the baby from suffering withdrawals.  I'm a grown a$$ man and I felt like crying like a baby for about 3 weeks when I quit....You can do this and more importantly you HAVE to do this....

You can do this.  Just be careful and do it slowly.  Good luck.

Well my ob referred me to a psychiatrist. I'm being tapered off lortab from 4 a day that I would usually take to 3 for a week then work my way down. I know I can do this but it's gonna kinda b hard!!

[littlebit667]

Good!  You can do this and it will be for both you and your child!  Good wishes go with you as you walk this path to health for you and your child!

[Kimbo205]

I'll keep y'all updated!! Wish me the best!!!

Please tell your OB what is going on.  I know you are scared but by telling them there wont be any surprises when the baby is born.  Let us know how your appt goes.

I appreciate the help so much !! It was much needed!!! Thank u

[overopiates]

Yes call tell them u need an emergency appointment u will b talking to a nurse explain a little of it if need be.no he won't put u n rehab

[Kimbo205]

I'm just soo concerned!! So when I call do I need to tell them I need to set an appt up to talk yo the ob?

[littlebit667]

More than likely the doctor will help you taper and/help you figure the best way to go.  This will help you and the baby and keep everyone healthy.  You have to tell the doctor.  They have seen and heard it all.  Tell them the truth...how much, why, etc.  If they discover your drug use and you do not have the doctor behind you helping you it could be tough.  Getting the to work with you will keep child services much happier.  Please call the doctor office monday and try to get in this week.  I hope all goes well.  I doubt at this time you will have rehab.  Just be honest as secrets from the doctor is not good.  Good luck and I am glad you posted.

[Kimbo205]

Not feeling any withdrawal. I been taking them since b4 I got prego until now

[Kimbo205]

Ok so do I think he'll put me n a rehab?? I have a 4 year old to take care of

[overopiates]

U wannabe know what to say.I've been taking X amount of lortabs a day through my pregnancy wanted to quit on my own,found out that's dangerous,been wanting2tell u butbIm scared/embarrassed etc. But I know I have to be honest with u for the safety and health of my baby.I'm sorry I haven't told u sooner I thought I could just stop that it wasn't dangerous and Ive been scared my baby will get taken I will do whatever u tell me I don't wannabe harm her or lose custody please tell me what to do

[overopiates]

I wanted to reassure u that as long as ur honest u will b fine.U can't just quit&wait2weeks though very dangerous.U need2contact them ASAP I am sure all obgyn offices have a way to contact someone n emergency during weekends&this is an emergency.How many have u been taking daily and how do u feel?r u feeling w/d symptoms?

[buncogirl003]

For the health of you and your baby......just tell your doctor the truth.  It seems hard I know BUT you will feel so much better....honest!  THE SOONER the better!!

[Kimbo205]

Thanks for the advice!! I've been wanting to tell my ob but was so afraid I would lose my baby. I have a dr appt n abt 2wks. I wanna tell him but don't know how to start off & I'm not getting prescription for them.

[overopiates]

1st u shouldn't stop taking those c/t and w/o being under dr. supervision while pregnant and the w/d u feel the baby does too&its dangerous cause u could miscarry or this far along go into premature labor.I assume u don't have a prescription&ur dr doesnt know.Well here's the good news tell ur doctor the truth and everything will b fine.I promise u that.If u don't ur risking ur babies health big time.How much have u been taking?drs c this all the time here's the thing ifbu go n2premature labor which is very likely if u have w/d they will know at the hospital.U NEED a doctors help here.Ur dr will put it n ur chart,make a plan like a taper plan that's safe,the staff will b prepared IF there r any issues at all,u won't b risking the babies health or losing her to the state or miscarriage etc IF U R HONEST RIGHT NOW.I know it seems scary&intimidating to tell but like I said its very common.Keeping this a secret from ur obgyn is dumb.They will help u.We don't know if ur baby will have w/d or n the babies system but they r highly trained and can spot w/d n a newborn easily and there1st stool is usually tested which I was told can go back to month5so even if u don't have it n ur system it can show up n the babies.Lying WILL get ur baby taken away.HONESTY will get u help&u will NOT lose ur child.CALL NOW ASAP BE HONEST.Don't think ur will get away with it.U will feel awful if u ignore this advice then go n2labor@7months cause of embarrassment and stubbornness.I promise honesty WILL make ur situation much better and congratulations on the baby
