17 weeks pregnant and have fibro

Hello I found out 2 weeks ago I found out I was pregnant, I have had fibro and cfs for 6 yrs, I have 3 other children 14,12,11 so never experienced fibro with pregnancy, I am on 3 drugs baclofen,amtripline both low doses and nearly off baclofen but the one I worry about is fentanyl patches, my Dr doesn't seem too worried but the baby may suffer withdrawals so i am going to reduce. Has anyone experienced theses issues, advise needed.

What is your doctor suggest you doing? I know tappering lil by lil would be an option but I dont know how you do that with fentnal patches, I just tappered off oxycodone 26 days ago but I did a fast Tapper, hut I also dont have a lil one on board either.
