Thanks again for the advice! I just wish I could tell her doctors for her and get it all out there. I know she won't tell her doctors that she has been snorting her prescriptions or taking up to 15 a day. Patient/doctor privacy is a great thing...but in some cases it REALLY SUCKS!! I guess now it's just a waiting game to see how the baby comes out!
Thank you for your prayers, they are needed and welcome!
now the XANAX .. this is what i found when i googled whether or not taking it is harmful to the baby ... this is what i copied from the post ....
** FDA pregnancy category D. Xanax can cause birth defects in an unborn baby. Do not use Xanax without your doctor's consent if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment. Use an effective form of birth control while you are using this medication. Xanax can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
Please talk your friend into telling her dr what has been going on .. i can't imagine being that far along and not knowing she's pregnant .. is this her first? maybe i read over that part, don't remember .. i wish her luck and i'll say a prayer for that baby that she will be okay ... just remember that they may very well take the child away and i wouldn't something like that happening to anybody. No one is perfect but there is an innocent child involved who didn't ask to come into this world and now could very well have a life full of problems because of what she did ... keep us posted .. i'm interested in seeing what happens and PLEEEEEZE try to get her to talk to the doctor ... i will be thinking of you all ... ;-)
