You are close to 7 months pregnant. If your baby is born having withdrawls, then it will be dangerous for the baby AND for the Dr. and nurses to not know this information. Find another Dr. , make some calls and ask questions, they don't know who you are over the phone. I hope you will consider serious lifestyle changes and the right information on how much this little one is going to change your lives. No more partying,drinking,drugs. This is a longterm commitment and one I hope you both are ready for by the time your baby is here. Whatever you eat or drink, you are shareing with your baby so please quit for your baby's sake.

hun,
You need to take care of yourself and if hubby is using he needs help too before the baby comes .You are already thinking about using after you have your baby. lts so not fair to your child so get help now .This baby will change you life in some many ways trust me you dont want to miss it becuse you are using ..Stay on the forum try to get hubby here to .You CAN do this .
Can you get a different OB doctor? They should be willing to help instead of judgemental. That just isnt right. Am glad you will be checking with someone on Monday. Keep us posted sara
i'm really scared to talk to my dr as he was very off with us and quite judgemental when we first went to see him when i found out i was pregnant, we were worried obviously about the amount of cocaine i'd consumed...4 times weekly about 5 grams in total and alcohol almost every day...he said..'so do you want a termination' all we wanted to know was some info so we could make an informed choice, but he just assumed we'd want to terminate... and he made us feel really bad...so i'm very reluctant to go back to him and tell him i've slipped as i'm not sure what he'll do...will they want to take the baby away do you think...would it be better to speak to someone at the hospital instead.....i feel really **** now....i'm going to speak to my consultant on monday, he's a bit more relaxed, thank you for your kind words and advice, this is a great site, i'm glad i found it.
Wish you and your family much happiness. Be honest with your doctor, thats very important right now. With drinking alcohal FAS could be a worry. Im not sure the line will hurt the baby but Im no doctor so you really need to talk to your ob/gyn and come clean with everything. Once the baby comes, you would be surprised how much your life can change, for the better. you begin to see what is more important in life. For me, partying went to the bottom of the list. Its great for you and your husband to go talk to someone. Good luck to all of you.
thanks...you're so right, i just called my husband and he says he thinks we should both see someone so that when the baby gets here we are on the road to being stronger healthy parents... cos all i have thought about while pregnant is doing 3 months breastfeeding and then getting the baby on the bottle so i can party again, and i know thats not healthy....i think i'll always have a problem and im not sure if i'm ready to really be clean, but i don't know how I'll feel once my baby is here..but thank you for taking the time to reply...i appreciate it....x
I agree with avis.....You need to tell your doctor about what you are doing now and how you are feeling. Get yourself some sort of therapy before this really takes you down. all the best sara
PLZ tell your doctor ASAP you defently sound like you have drug and alcohol problems look into an aa or na program now .Its hard now think how it going to be with a brand new baby. Get some treatment started it will be ok but you really have to tell your doctor .
