I have been on and off painkillers.. Hydrocodone, Darvocet, and Tylenol 3 throughout my WHOLE pregnancy. All of which was prescribed by a doctor but I developed a tolerance to them and had to take more to alleviate my pain (fibroids, and kidney stones) I am almost 38 weeks pregnant and have a VALID script for Tylenol 3 but I take about 8 a day. The Ob knows that im on them but not the extent of how many I take because I am ashamed and scared to admit. Alot of doctors think people are pain med seekers and basically liars. I know most everyone will say consult with you OB but I want to know if anyone has been in this position and what the outcome was. I have had 4 ultrasounds and last week the baby was weighed during the u.s. and he was exactly where he needed to be... bottom line is, if I stop cold turkey tomorrow and give birth to him in a week or two will he be born addicted???? I cant change the past but I sure as hell can control the future and I dont want a baby born addicted, I would be ashamed and so would my fiance's parents. Please and insight is greatly appreciated
