if you arent going through withdrawls, is the baby?

I have a pain condition and have taken Percocet 5/325. I only take a half of one of those about 3 times a week. I stopped taking them last week and I never felt bad or had withdraws. I really think I don't take enough of them to even have withdraws. My doctor knows I have them and I told him I don't take excessive amounts often at all. So my question is, if I am not having withdraws, is my baby still having them? My doctor gave me the Percocet and I only had one refill this whole pregnancy so I didn't need them a lot. I know by baby wont be born with special needs or anything but I just don't want her to be addicted.

  You were on a very low dose so i would think baby should be just fine.  Talk with your OB about your concerns also.  Is this your 1st one?
