Im 4 months pregnant and been taking Tramadol the whole pregnancy

Also I want to state I am not saying this was forsure the cause but I am very sure also opiate and opiad addiction is very well known to cause developmental delay heard it from 2 doctors and by no means am I bashing it 3 years ago this same thread gave me hope everyone is saying all their kids turned out ok the point is u people need to stop giveing Information on something that has no studies either way let your doctor make the dicision I don't care what anyone thinks also to the person who said autislatert only a genetic thing ur the one who doesn't have their info rite their is no proof and its still unknown what causes autism many doctors will tell u this but their are some factors and opiat and opiad abuse is one of those factors its very easy to research but of course like I also was I only wanted to research what I wanted to hear to make things clear I'm not critisizeing anyone just telling you my
Expirience I know what it's like still to this day I am on methadone for my addiction but bashing people cus they said something u didn't want to hear not everyone will have the same luck is why I think people shld judge and do what their doctors think is best and not take take advice from a thread that not so many people ubdated the results cpl years later

Yess takeing tramsdol in hight doses during pregnancy especially in the first trimester can cause developmental deleys its not just withdrawl that people should worry about also its very harmful for the fetus to quit cold turkey so its one of those things u need to talk with your doctor about and roll the dice and see if the benafits outweigh the risks try to reduce tramsdol is something that you don't need so much of a high dose of for it to work tramsdol is known to work as a antidepressant also and antidepressants many of them and ssri meds cause harm and developmental deley never quit cold turkey without doctor supervisian but to answer the questions if its safe to take? Well I guess that depends on your definition of safe will your baby weight a healthy weight yes. Will the baby have birth defects? Well not from tramsdol use. Can u tell if they baby has any developmental problems as a infant? No this will be something u have to wait and see and no not every child will if your on a low dose its better but yesss tramsdol and many other pain medications especially if abused and taken more than a doctor prescribes u or doing it without supervision not a good idea their is many links u can look this up in tramsdol and other pain killers causeing developmental delays its very common believe it or not u can ask your doctors I'm sure they will tell u the same and I don't advice anyone if you take this without prescription and take it throughout your whole pregnancy and if you do not mention it to your doctor your playing with fire its better to let them know and admit to your problem so they can care for your baby properly and you infants who are born addicted need a lot of care and medicine for this type of addiction also doctors can tell if a baby is in withdrawl and u will risk looseing your child if you don't report your problem if u admit it then your doctor will help you and u wont loose your child maybe he will even put you on a medication to help ease ur withdrawl during pregnancy not sure if they use methadone suboxon just for tramadol addiction but forsure your doctor will help you its not healthy to go off and on withdrawl either the reason its not safe to cold turkey pregnant is because its hard to monitor the baby good luck

Hi there ladies. I've been taking Tramadol for year since I've had two back ops and suffer with severe back pain. I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks and got such a shock I stopped immediately. I suffered severe withdrawl symtoms and almost lost my baby. I had a near miscarriage. I haven't taken it again untill this morning. I'm 14 and half weeks pregnant and I'm in so much pain I can't move. I only took one tablet though, just hoping for a bit of relieve. My mom has been a nurse all her life and worked in theatre for years and told me horror stories about woman taking medications and alcohol during pregnancy and how the babies suffer with withdrawl or are still born. I personally feel so bad for the babies and their safety. I don't ever want to purposely put my baby through any suffering. I do also feel very sorry for people who suffer with chronic pain as it isn't easy at all. The only advise I can give you is, don't keep this a secret. Ask your Dr. for help. Your baby deserves a healthy stress and pain free birth. In this I don't mean to sound unsympathetic but I'm pregnant too and don't want my baby to suffer in any way. Like I said, this morning I couldn't take the pain anymore and know that its hard for chronic pain sufferers during pregnancy.

I am going through this myself and you have given the best advice I called my dr as soon as I found out so he can help me be weaned off them

I am going through the same, I am 7 weeks pregnant today and I'm down to 6 50mg tablets a day, I have osteoarthritis in my back, not only do I need the tramadol for the pain I am also horribly addicted. I'm ashamed to say some days I would take 16-18 tablets before I found out I was pregnant, and I'm down to 6 as I said. My doc told me to cut down by one tablet per week. I started at 10 per day and am where I am now, but I'm struggling, it makes me feel grouchy, tight chested, stressed, restless legs, just down right awful

What is wrong with you gals? You KNOW and acknowledge the baby will have withdrawals and yet you still keep taking them. Because YOU dont want to feel withdrawal. So just harm your unborn baby, you selfish twats. [and trust me I can relate to being addicted to aomethinf so dont tell me I dont understand how hard it is. ] there is something seriously wrong with you guys who acknowledge the facts and still say f**k it. Woooooooowwwww!

Hello, here to share my little story cause I was also worried about the risks of tramadol while pregnant. I've been taking tramadol for about 2 years. Around 3-5 a day. When I got pregnant which was 5 months ago I started worrying so I tried to stop cold Turkey. Didn't work as well as I hoped. Had headaches,bad mood swings, muscle aches, restless legs, and it was very hard going to sleep and staying a sleep. I also have a 2 year old so it was difficult. I couldnt handle it so i started taking it again and decided to try to wean myself. Wich worked wonderfully ^_^. I started only taking 2 a day. 1 in the morning 1 at night for 2 weeks. Then slowed down to 1 in the morning to 1/2 at night. Then eventualy went down to 1/2 a day last month . Its not going to be easy. I still did have withdrawl but they were manageable. Slight headache, only 3-6 hrs of sleep, easily frustrated. Annoying but I could cope. And recently I just took my last half about 2 weeks ago. I'm very proud of myself. And my restless leg syndrome stopped completely. Everything is back to normal. I am 5 months now and I'm doing way better then I thought I would be . the first week without any tramadol will be alittle hard but the symptoms slowly goes away. And is not that hard to cope with.the first 2 days you will start to feel better. Anyone can do this if you just have an addiction. Takes time and patience. But you will make it through. Baby steps helps. I will post an update soon as he's born. I'm praying everything will be alright when he gets here. And that the tramadol I did take had no effects on him. Wich will be in January.
Best of wishes to everyone

Your baby is on?

Thank you very much

Im currently due any day now been taking tramadol 50 mg every day my hole pregnancy I did cut down tremendously the best 3 to 4 months and I told my dr and he has helped wean me down. I was scared my baby will have WD and still am but my dr seems to believe she will be ok as she has been the hole time. I hope and pray she is but if not she will have with draws and they will have to wean her off of it. I will let u ladies now how it goes but this drug is a night mare I told a pain doctor about my addiction he gave me more I told my psychologist he was supposed to admit me and detox me he didn't want to he wanted me to wean off so my OBgYn prescribed me it and wean me down good luck ladies please say a prayer for my little girl I'll pray for y'all

It is vary easy to quit. Tramodole wasn't considered an addictive drug. It's your mind that's addicted to it. The first week is a little rough you will be tired moody and in pain but as soon as I found out I was pregnant I stopped taking them. You have to think of your child. It was even hard for me to cut caffeine. But I managed. I know it's hard but I believe you can do it.

How's your baby?
