preggo trying to ween
by ode2shel, Jul 07, 2007 12:00AM
remember me..the 28 wk preggo on percs prescribed by my doc? I had my appt fri and he put me on a weaning schedule. I was taking 5 a day, which he said was a low dose, and to cut 1/2 to 1 tab a week. If I cut i tab a week Ill be off by 32 weeks. My goal was def to be off my 36 wks. he said narcotics aee frequently prescribed during preognancy, a long as im off by delivery there should not be any trouble with the baby being born addicted, which would kill me. I also take xanax for svere panic attacks, which they also say Im on a low dose of (a total on 1 mg a day) and they want me to stay on that. Ive been through wd's in the past, Im scared of trying to wean, and Im more scared of not being able to and having this child born addicted...I did not have these probs with my daughter! I haver a husband who is not supportive at all. He is completely not involved with our daughter, he is an addict himself and doesnt even know Im on the percs or he's take them, he's on sub but takes twice as much as he's supposed to, making him high, emotionless, and a flat out *******. I have no support, and realy, just feel completely alone in all Im trying to do for the good of the baby Im going to birth, and my 3 yr old, but Im doind it alone!!Ive so had it, and Im so scared...just needed to vent

IMO I would do what ur doctor tells u. I cant imangine how u must feel being pregnant , taking care of a 3yro and husband thats an addict. My prayers are with you. You said he was on subs, does he want 2 quit or is just supplimenting them 4 something else?

Take care and have a great nite,

BTW, why are you still with the jerk? Reading your posts, I can't think of one single reason. Sounds like he's not there for your little girl, so toss that excuse. He's not there for you, so toss another. Hard to love someone who treats you like shizit all of the time, so toss that one as well.
Damn girl, get out and start over with someone who will treat you like you deserve to be treated.
And, good luck on the taper and the pregnancy!
