Cold Turley From Opiates @ 36 weeks Pregnant

I am 36 weeks pregnant, & have been on/off opiates (oxycodone) for most of this pregnancy. I tried staying on suboxone to detox, but i'm not perscribed them and the cost was killing me. I am now scared to death because i could go into labor at anytime.......... I had the mindset... "oh i'll just quit 3 weeks before my due date and i'll be ok as far as withdrawls go"

well, now i'm coming to REALITY and know that it just isn't that simple. Today is my 2nd day without anything at all. And this is just my choice of how to get off them. I hope & pray my baby continues to stay healthy throughout these next few days, i know they will be hard on him and me, but what's a girl to do with so little time left???
