I have been on Methadone for around 2 yrs now and just started decreasing in dose 3 months before I became Pregnant. I've been to the doctor and done tons of research about pregnancy while on methadone. I hear it is not good to keep decreasing your dose while pregnant and I want to do what is best for my Baby! I feel horrible and guilty that the things I have done are now going to effect my new born baby. I did not know untill recently when visiting the doctor that my baby will go through and suffer from withdrawls. I can't help but feel horrible that it is my doings that caused this! I wish I could just be off of the methadone before actually giving birth and my boyfriend who has never been on methadone wants me off before the baby comes therefore my baby will not have to go through the withdrawl process but I think that in trying to do so I would be doing more harm then good!! So confused and I keep hearing different things from different doctors I just want to do the right thing but how do I do that if I don't know for sure what that is!!??
