Please help

I have been taken pain pills through out my pregancey .... I have quit completely @ 29weeks ... I was only taken two 10 mg pill a day ... I no this was wrong to do and I'm sooo HAPPY I have stopped... I really do feel better, it's amazing the difference u feel.... However I didn't tell my ob doctor about my addiction I felt that I could handle it on my on and thought if I couldn't then that's when I would open up that conversation with him... Luckly I was able to quit no problem no withdraw ... No problems at all..... So I'm just a lil freaked out bc I've read that when I have my baby he will still go through withdraw and he's gonna be taken from me ... I'm so scared its not funny I can't sleep at night.... I cry all the time I'm so worried about it...  I am now 31 weeks and will be induced at 39 weeks ... So my question is are they going to take my baby bc I made a terrible choice during my pregancey ? Will my baby go through withdraw?please answer if u have experienced this of no someone that has or really any type of info... I'm soo scared now this was a horrible choice I have made to do something like this i no... I wish everyday that I didn't make the choices I made .... Please help.. Thanks in advance

Hopefully* not hourly. Also, most treatment facilities are confidential. They want to help you  so don't think they are going to run and tell your doctor. Just check it out. Hope everything works out for both of us :) And try to keep your head up, were human and we all have made mistakes. Nobody is perfect.

I'm going through something very similar myself and haven't brought it to my doctors attention either. I'm planning on enrolling in a program and telling the doctor before the baby is born so hourly I can take her home with me. I feel guilty every moment I'm awake due to terrible choices. Get in treatment now if you are able to.

You need to be honest with your doctors about your addiction just in case something happens to the baby they will have a game plan in place for treatment and care. A lot of social workers will work with you to get the help you need to stay clean so you can continue to be a good mom. In the end you would feel terrible if something happened to him or her because nyou were to ashamed to reach out and ask for help. It's a big step don't do it for u do it for your baby.
