Talk to your OBGYN but I think you are OK staying on the subutex durning pregnancy usually they change ladies who are on suboxone to subutex .There is a possibility that the baby could have some withdawls when the baby is born but the doctors will know how to take care of your baby .PLZ try not to be scared enjoy you pregnancy but plz talk all of this over with your doctor it's the best gift you can give your baby

I don't know about sub and I don't think much is any info. on sub and pregnancy exists. Many healthy babies have been born to mothers on methadone , so that may be a viable alternitive.I not a big advocate of the done but it may be the way to go. all best

What are you taking the subutex for? and how long?  I had to take Suboxone for 5 days to get through my withdrawals from Opiates, and a friend had to take the Subutex for Heroin WD.  We were only allowed to have it for 5 days because it's addictive also.  I'm no Dr but I would think they would try to wean you off of it by cutting it in half for a few days, then cutting it in a quarter for a few days then stopping.  Can you do that?
