I am prescribed Oxycontin 60mg twice a day for a broken rib and have just found out that I am pregnant. I notified my doctor as soon as I found out and he has told me to taper off. He gave me a prescription for 10mg pills and told me to do the following: Start the first day taking 40mg's 2x daily for 1 week, 20 mg's 2x daily for 1 week, 10mg's 2x daily for 1 week and then stop. I am concerned about this because everything that I have heard and read, tells me that withdrawal is very dangerous during pregnancy and there is a high possibility of miscarriage. I told my doctor about my concern and he just brushed me off saying that we needed to get me off the Oxycontin as soon as possible so that the baby will be OK. Any feedback on this situation would be helpful and if anyone has had a similar experience, your input would be greatly appreciated!

Hi honey! BIGGEST question, how long have you been on the Oxy - AND has your rib healed now?

It was about 6 and a half months ago that I started taking Oxycontin after I broke 1 rib and fractured 2 others. I am not completely healed yet but the Dr. wants me to deal with the pain without medication now.
I also forgot to mention in my post that I am now 11 weeks along.
