Addicted baby

I stupidly used dilauded for a week straight an I was using 30mg a day. I'm 35 weeks pregnant will my baby go thru withdrawal or was it too short of a time to be addicted?

Your baby will not have significant withdrawal after only a week of use, providing you stop now.  There are other dangers to using beyond withdrawal;  if you use large amounts of opioids and then go into labor, the baby will likely have significant respiratory depression at birth and require intubation and a ventilator to breathe for the baby.  

I wish you the best of luck and hope you can stay clean.  At any rate, be honest with your doctor about any drugs used around the time of the delivery;  the information will be very important in regard to a number of issues that may arise.
