Hello everyone its been awhile for me. I got a new job and i have been working 60-70 hrs a week. which is good it keeps me out of trouble. But i stopped taking vicodin in march and started suboxene which i thought messed up my menstral cycle..Apparently not... IM 18 WEEKS PREGNANT!!!! The dr says im having a healthy little girl. I just pray that all the pills i used to take hasnt done any damage and im tapering very quickly off the sub as i want to be pill free within the next two weeks. I just found out on mother's day so i have been overwhelmed. Has anyone ever had anything similar happen with a happy ending. Thanks you all have always been so supportive and i dont know how i would of made it through those long days and nights without all of you.

Hi, glad I came over to this forum.  I have same issue, I found out I am 12 weeks pregnant, I am 40 years old (OMG!), and I have three daughters already.  I dont have a doctor, and I know I need one.  I was a firm believer in not using anything while a pregnant, so using oxy's is hard on me.  I am tapering and at times it doesnt seem like its fast enough, I feel so awful that I am putting my unborn child through all this, and I wish that I could just quit VOILA! Lol, so THANK YOU, Tapering is the best thing, and I cant let things like the past 12 weeks bog me down in guilt and stress.  None of this is good for the baby.  I was thinking just this morning, if i try to push myself too fast, then I have a hard time eating, I get feeling nauseated, soooo would I rather put my unborn through a week of not eating, OR do I just do the best I can today?  I believe we know what we can handle as long as we are honest with ourselves.  Sometimes we set ourselves up to fall, so that we have an excuse....our brain is very smart, its knows how to manipulate us.  Just make sure your choices are for the right reasons.....the unborn child.

Thank you all so much!!! Im so ready to be off the sub and i have no desire for the vikes now more then ever. If not just for me but for my precious little baby girl.
And naughty i thought i was to old and would have a hard time getting pregnant at 35 but apparently not.
Thanks again for all of your support and i will stay in touch.

Go with your taper plan if it is slower .It will be easier on both you and your baby girl. We just added some info to the health pages about addiction and pregnancy if you would like to check it out .PLZ keep in touch so we know how the two of you are doing.

Im tapering rather quickly i started at 8mgs of sub twice a day down to 2mgs twice a day and i will be tapering even more. Im seeing a special gyno regarding this. but my sub doctor thinks im tapering to quick and dosent see it as a problem.So basically i have set up my own taper as i dont want to do this to my unborn baby girl it's bad enough i didnt know i was pregnant for s couple of months. Thank you for all of your help and advice. Dont know what i would do without all of you!!!!

Did you discuss going off of the sub with your doctor .It is very important that you do .It is much safer for the baby if you do a slow taper .If you PM 1234betterlife she can give you alot of info on this. good luck
