If you come clean with your doctor and ask for help they will not take your baby. If you hide it and they find out you are taking a huge risk. Honesty is the way to go here.

I also have to suggest that you get some form of aftercare this time around. You mentioned that you have gone through this before. You stop when you are ready to deliver. That is a great incentive but what is to stop you from starting again after the baby is born? You need help to learn relapse prevention skills.

Hun, please do the right thing and speak with your doctor.

Hi & Welcome,

There are ways that it can be detected. But that is not what concerns me. It concerns me that you stopped abruptly. Remember, whatever you are going through the baby is going through. Your best bet is to get honest with your OBGYN and allow them to help you get through this safely. They see this everyday and know how to treat both you and your unborn child.

I am glad that you found your way here and are reaching out for help. Stick around and I wish you the best.
