drug addiction

[butterflyxx123]

Im 16 weeks pregnant and ive been on heroine since I was 17 I am now 19...my parents stopped talking to me since I became a drug addict, the father of my child pushed me down the stairs when when I was 12 weeks becausr we were fighting about keeping the baby (he didnt want me to keep it)  I had nowhere to go except my friends house with her boyfriend they are also on heroine and her boyfriend is constantly trying to get with me and I dont want to tell her because she will kick me out..., I work part time at a restaurant but I dont make enough to be on my own. I want to stop using but its so hard. I really love my baby and want him or her to be healthy.

Thank you guys! I will reach out to programs to help me out, thank u for not judging me, it really means a lot, I will keep yall updated

I also had a drug problem when I found out I was pregnant and honestly it's hard but you need to get help as soon as you can. You can't go through detox because that can cause miscarriage, you either need to find a methadone clinic and get on methadone or you need to get on subutex. Both are safe to take during pregnancy and are medicines to make you not withdrawal. I promise you will feel so much better once you do that!!!

Get help ur not gunna be able to do it on ur own, once ur coming down and ur bones are hurting and all that it gets better. If u can get past that you can do it. Come on do it for ur baby

There are plenty of programs and clinics and treatment centers that help pregnant women get off drugs alcohol for free, there are also church organizations andstuff like the salvation army that will house and feed pregnant women for free. Since your working, you can apply for free govt housing, food stamps, and welfare. There are plenty of prohrams

I am trying guys! But everytime I get seriously sick its very hard I know I sound horrible and like the worst person out there...

[Jen9588]

You should get help move out whatever it takes bcus ur baby is taking that ish in as well you really think it'll be okay? It can be born with major health issues even worse, i used to slam crystal daily about 12 times. It was haard but i quit. Life is so much brighter n better, being on heroin ur always nodding out,moaning, all that..u really want ur baby to grow up around it? Try, u can do it im 19 too and was using for yrs. Im 33 wks now n have been clean a few months b4 i conceived...i was horrible if i can do it u sure can. God bless

Its good you want to stop but try now before its to late and god forbidden any thibg happens to your baby I misscaried not for using drugs and it'll always stay with me because I wanted my child so bad

You need to tell your Dr now. Chances are your baby will be born a heroin addict. And he/she will be taken off you and placed into care. If it survives.
Sorry but addict babies end up in intensive care as soon as they are born and need to be given methadone to wean them off the heroin. Most babies don't make it because they are withdrawing so hard. If you loves your baby you would get help. Not live with fellow addicts who give you drugs

[Mrs_Hdz]

Sign into the hospital or drug rehab they will help it's gonna be hard but don't think about ur self think about that blessing God has given u if this baby can't make u stop then maybe nothing can get help before you hurt your baby I have had friends addicted to drugs I'm an ex drug addict 4 1/2 yrs clean u can do it I will be praying for you and hope u make the right choice God bless you

[butterflyxx123]

Thank you. I tried reaching out to my parents and they still wont talk to me

[StarsOverSnow]

Go to a treatment center and get help. They will have the resources and options for you. If you truly love yourself and your baby, you know that you cannot do this on your own. Heroine is extremely hard to break, and can cause death up to years after quitting. The sooner you get to a safer environment without the every day stress that you have to deal with, the better for both of you. Good luck, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers ♡ You can do this.

Sorry to hear things are a little messy.
Keep trying and don't give up for your sake and the babys :)
Maybe you should ask your parents for help now that you're trying to change your life.
And your doctor can probably get you into prenatal classes that help with almost everything.
