scared

Hi all!

im sooooo scared, im 28 weeks pregnant, and been on 10/325 of percocet 3 x's a day, i have managed to ween myself down to 1 and 1/2 a day. I WANT TO STOP! i been reading a lot of posts on here, i just been scared to post anything. I'm scared for my baby, and I'm scared to tell my doctor in fear he'll have my baby taken away from me. My mind is racing 24/7 about this, i feel like such a piece of s*** sooooo worried i hurt my baby. Please someone give me some advise. I know I'm gonna be judged like I'm a horrible person :(

Thanks guys....The good thing is that my O.B. put me on early maternity leave so at least i can focus more on the things i gotta do with less on my mind....I just dont understand myself, i feel like im living this double life. I have been blessed with 2 wonderful teenage boys 13 & 16, i couldn't be any prouder of them. I have been given such a second chance in my life by meeting such an amazing man who im soon to marry with a little girl on the way. we just moved in to a beautiful home.You see: My husband, and father of my boys died 8 years ago. So i pretty much been a single mother most of there lives. I never thought i would fall in love again, also thought i was robbed of the opportunity to have another child, and suddenly i have been sooooo blessed with all these wonderful things..What is wrong with me? this should be the happiest time of my life..sorry for rambling on

Mommy-Going up and down on the dose is not good for the baby. The withdrawals you're feeling are,also,felt by the baby. Believe me,you will not be the first woman to tell her OB
that she has a prescription drug problem.  You really have to be the great Mom that you are and tell them.    You said you like his nurse. Call on the phone and speak with her.
Tell her everything and answer her questions honestly. She'll tell the doctor.

This won't get easier and you'll feel A LOT better once you share this.

We'll be here...let us know.

I'm nomt good at talking either, I chicken out. Maybe you could write something that way there's really no going back. Write out what you're feeling and just hand it to them.  Apologize for writing but explain it's the only way you could make yourself do it. Idk, I hope you find your strength. I know how difficult it can be. Good luck
