new pregnancy and detoxing

hello all,
             i am 31 and i have knee problems. i have been under the care of 2 doctors my pcp and my orthopedic. they have been perscribing me pain killers for almost a year now. i just had knee surgery a month ago and just found out 3 days ago that i am PREGNANT!!  stopped taking all the meds the day i found out and i contacted my ob. he said i did the right thing by stopping but the withdrawls are TERRIBLE!!!! im on day 3 and being newly pregnant and detoxing on my own has been rough!! i have been reading all the posts but i havent seen anyone pregnant and detoxing! i cant take all the not eating (hello im pregnant and hungry) i have been drinking alot of water trying to hurry up and flush my system but my ob told me darvocet is safe to take right now since i am still in pain from my surgery but its not helping!! i only have taken a few but i dont want this to last any longer then it has to and i dont want to risk having a mis. i guess my question is has anyone been thru detoxing at home while pregnant?  please help!! what can i do...

Call your OB back and tell him you feel terrible. Ask him how many Darvocet you can safely take during the day.

I would call the doctor because you don't want to put the baby at risk for any problems! Good luck to you and hope you feel better soon! Congrats!

Hun you are never supposed to ct of narcotic when pregnant, I am not trying to scare you but it can cause miscarriage normally it safest to taper off so it does not put stress on you or the baby .If you have been tapering I would call back your doctor and tell him you would like to continue to do it that way because you are concerned on the strain on your body It coming to be ok
