I just found out I'm 12 weeks pregnant ( I've always been irregular ) anyways over the past couple of months I've picked up and kicked the same nasty habbit several times....sniffing 40mg-80mg of oxycotin a day or evry other to sometimes once a week and off and on with suboxen trying to stop. By some strange act of god with careful condom use I became a statistic most of us only read about on the back of the box. Be that as it may, I've decided to own up and be a responsible person and keep the baby I can afford to and I have a 5 yr old as well so having this baby will only be adding to my happy family. My dilema...i want to know if anyone knows which side effects I might face for doing this to the poor innocent thing which I'd like to kick myself evryday for....i stoped cold turkey since the positive test and have an appt with my dr next week but I'd still like to know what I could be up against. Nothing will make me love it anyless just cautious and curious. I know the first trimester is the most important for development and these whole 12 weeks I've been on either oc or suboxen.....not anymore but still :-(

Also I'm a registered nurse at a very busy nursing home/rehab center. I've been taking care of 2 patients with shingles which they've told our pregnant aid not to go in their rooms. I always use proper hand washing precautions and gloves but I'd like to know what it could do to the fetus. thanks so much :-)
