Taking Lortab for Arthritis

Will my baby be addicted to Lortab 7.5/325 if I quit taking it 10 weeks before birth?  I have been taking this medication for about 3 years due to severe Osteoarthritis.  My OBGYN prescribes it for me but we talked about my baby being addicted if I keep taking my 3 pills per day right up until birth.

Not yet, but I believe I am going to start the taper for myself.  She also has me on Zoloft and I really am scared about being on too many meds when I deliver.

Has your OB talked to you about tapering off the meds?
