 Posted: 11/26/06 - 00:00 Post subject: Pregnant Painkiller Addict |
  |
|
Hi, I am 29 year old female, and I’m addicted to painkillers. I wasn’t so worried about this until yesterday, when I found out that I’m pregnant. I don’t want to have an abortion, but I don’t want to harm these baby neither. I am afraid if I stop using those pills, that withdrawal could cause a miscarriage or some defect to my baby. Please give me some advice!

Hi, I am very sorry that you’re experiencing this difficult situation. I can’t tell you what to do, because this decision is only yours. However, I will tell you some facts about being pregnant while addicted to painkillers. It is very dangerous, because it can cause defects to an unborn child. It is also true that chances of miscarriage are increased, especially in the first months if you’re addicted to painkillers. You should talk to your gynecologist about this and ask his/er for advice. If you decide to keep the baby, you have to do it with a strict supervision of your doctor and with his/er help about withdrawal. Don’t try to do this on your own, in case that you have complications. Good luck!
