PM mean personal message, use the send a message option on the persons profile.  I read your delemia and my heart goes out to you.  You are dealing with so much the last thing you need to do is go through the stress of w/d which could be dangerous to the baby as well.  PLEASE get some help from your doctor.  I've done quite a bit of research on the subject because of my g/f.  Don't go ct off of opiates while you are pregnant.

You poor thing... that's alot to deal with all at once!  I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you what to do... But I can tell you that it's best to tell your doctor what's going on.  You're right there is the risk of hurting the baby going off the meds ct, I believe most doctors would set up a taper plan with you until after you deliver.  The best way to get help for the pain, the addiction and the baby is to speak honestly with your doctor.  Hang in there, ok?  You & the baby will make it thru this okay.

Please tell your Dr...you need to do it for yourself and your son. I know you are scared and that is normal, but I think I read on another post that they took percocet during pregnancy and everything was fine (but check for yourself). It sounds like you have a lot going on and you need all the support you can get...we are all here for you, but you also need people near you that you can talk to face to face. You are worth it and so are your kids...you shouldn't be in so much pain...please get help!
