Im 23 and have been struggling with opiate addiction since i was 14. I sought help for it about 14 mos ago and was put on suboxone(24mgs). However, about 10 mos ago i was discharged from my dr who was prescribing them for me because I messed up and was honest and instead of giving me another chance, he kicked me off completley. There are not many drs in my area who prescribe suboxone and even less who take medicaid which is the insurance i have. I continued taking subs because I was scared of going back to using opiates, but I was getting them off other people who I met in tretment who were also on them. I found out I was pregnant in May and when i found out, i went back to the dr who was prescribing them just to ask his advice on what I should do. He told me not to go off them cold turkey because whatever w/d i feel, the baby will also go thru and the stress on the baby could cause a misscarige. He suggested I wein myself down as much as possible until i was comfortable comming off them completley. Im down to about 2mgs a day but cant seem to take the jump completley. I recently tried to stop and was unsuccessful. It was a lot harder than I thought. My ob knows that ive been taking them but doesnt exactly know that i didnt have a dr prescribing them. Im 32 wks now and i realld expected myself to be off by now. Im scared that im gonna go into labor and the baby is gonna test positive for subs and their gonna take him away from me. Im not a bad mother. I have a 3yr old son and my life revolves around my kids, but this whole situation has made me feel really guilty. Has anybody been thru this?? Im scared to death. I dont want my baby to get taken away from me. I could really use some advice if anyone knows anything about this. Thank you

Im 19 weeks pregnant and Im doing the orange sobs. I know that its not good for the baby but its alot worse to go through withdrawal while your pregnant, so im in the same situation. I was scared about the same thing them thinking I was a bad mom and try to take my baby away, but my friend told me that as long as your honest with them they cant just take your baby away. Im trying to get on the white ones for pregnant woman, and I think thats what you should do too. I mean you dont have to much longer till the big day, but talk to your doc and ask him what he thinks you should do, and always be honest! They cant say that your a bad mom and take your baby if you have an addiction, but you have been honest and cut down quite a bit...I havent even been able to do that and i wish I could. I dont know you but I feel for you, this is my first and we werent gonna keep it cause Im only 21 and am not stable in life, I went to the docs and found out I was 16 weeks when I thought I was 10, and the drug thing scares me everyday of what might happen. I think everything will be ok for you, just keep doing what your doing and talk to your doctor ( thats very important, i know its scary) and stay positive and hope for the best. I hope everything goes ok for you and if you could keep me updated on how your baby and you are! Best wishes..take care

What you put in your mouth will affect the baby. I've seen babys with mothers on methodone and the baby when born went through some horrible withdrawls, get help.

Will my baby be in danger of withdrawing if I stop using opiates at 32 weeks of being pregnant?
