So, I just took a test and found out I'm about 4wks pregnant.
The past 2 months prior to finding this out, I was using heroin on a daily basis (by snorting only). I knew I was dependent because whenever I didn't have it I would get sick, but as soon as I took the test that came up positive I haven't done any since. It's been about 4 days, and even though I am not doing the heroin, I have been taking three 10mg percosets daily to keep me from being sick. I really dont want to be taking anything, but the withdraw included hotflashes,bodyaches, and nausea.
My question is - is it safe to be taking percoset this early in the pregnancy? Is it safe to go through withdrawl of percoset while pregnant, as long as it's in the first trimester? And if so, how do I even go about it? I would ask my doctor this, but honestly it's not really an option. I don't need them looking at me differently.

It is not safe at any part of your pregnancy to take Percosets. Your only supposed to take Tylenol, and again you don't want to take a whole lot.
You need to talk to your doctor. The first trimester is when a miscarriage is most likely to happen. How they view you doesn't matter, its how you view yourself and if you want to keep your baby healthy.
You need to do what is best for you and your baby no matter what people thing. Let the doctors and nurses look at you funny, your trying to get help, which is more then a lot of people do. Even if they view you differently I am sure they will want to help and have some respect for you confessing and seeking help.
I don't know anything about the withdrawls, but you need to do something. In the end it is up to you, but I would talking to a Doctor about this, they are going to be the ones that can really help you. You seem like you want to keep this baby healthy, so it is in your best interest to talk to Doctor.
Be careful.
