30 weeks and taking hydrocodone

I am 30 weeks pregnant ans have been taking hydrocodone almost my whole pregnancy. i want my baby to be ok. i never take more than 2 7.5 mg a day. most the time only 1 7.5 a day for back pain. i dont want my little girl to be born addicted so i have tapered my self down to half a 7.5 a day and planning to stop completely.  does anyone know how long it takes to leave system completely?

More than likely she will have withdrawals no matter when you stop taking them cause you have been taking them for so long.. My best advice is talk with your doctor to assess the risks and complications
