Hi~  It's going to be okay!!   Just call your OB in the morning and tell him/her everything:
The strength,the amount,and duration of use.  It's important to do this and they'll be able to wean you off and supervise the process.

I agree with IBKLEEN you really need to speak to a Dr. If you werent getting your lortab from a Dr and off the streets you still need to talk to a Dr and ASAP. Don't take any advise from anyone in this group that tells you how to taper while your pregnant. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO WITHDRAWAL WHILE PREGNANT. You can have a lot of complications if you withdrawal while pregnant one being miscarriage. Don't be ashamed to tell your Dr about the lortab. Tell your Dr if not for you do it for the health of your baby.

Good Luck

Hi & Welcome,

No one here could help you with a schedule, especially since you are pregnant. There are no doctors here and it would be dangerous for anyone to tell you how to taper.

You need to speak with your doctor and let him/her help you. If it is not your OBGYN that prescribed the Lortab, you still need to speak with them as well. They may tell you not to taper or they may help you with a plan. Either way, both doctors (if there are two) need to know.

Best to you and your baby.
