Pregnant and scared

[Kenzi71186]

I have been in recovery for 3 years. My medical records w my OB State I am an addict. Last night I was having severe nerve pain and took unprescribed oxycodone. I am terrified they will take my baby away. What should I do?

I know the feeling of embarrassment, honey.  It's your conscience telling you that you did something you know was wrong.   Use it a little bit, so that you stay on course, but then tell yourself  "I'm human, I made a mistake, and now I'm getting help...so go to h*ll, Ms. Embarrassment!"

I'm proud of you.  Stay away from pain pills...I'm curious...why did you have access to them?   Are you still friends with people who use?  If so, that's not a a good idea for your sobriety.  Cut ALL TIES with anyone who could get you drugs.  Good luck sweetie.

I have learned embarrassment isn't worth the drain it takes on you..hold your head high that you did what was best for you and your son and told the truth..that is something to be proud of :)  Congrats on talking to the people around you who can help !!

Don't be embarrassed or feel ashamed. You did the right thing being completely honest. Now you've got through this,so get on with your pregnancy. Stay heathy,stay clean,and be the best mama you keep be! :))

I'm just so embarrassed.

Thank you all! I have already seen my counselor and talk to them about it and gone to a meeting. I also believe that honesty is the best way to go. I agree that I crossed a line and it has been a huge wakeup call for me.

Yes I received a random drug tests at the clinic that I go to as well as from my OB

You should be 100% honest and tell your OB right away. If you're an addict,you also no the drill. Get to a meeting of sorts. If it was only the one and you're honest then I don't think they'll take your babe....but I don't know your whole situation either?

Opiates don't work for nerve pain, so please don't take another one. Opiates while pregnant cannot be good.

What's done is done, all you can do is be honest if asked. Look at what happened as a wake up call. Recognize the relapse, and seek help. If anything, do it for your baby. Even though you can't change what has happened, it is within your power to do whatever it takes to not let it happen again.
