worried about my sister and her unborn baby

[acacia74]

my sister is about 7 months pregnant and we just found out this week that she's been useing roxicodone we think she has been using through a needle. What should we expect could be wrong with her unborn child?

my son's girlfriend smoked pot and took vicodin the entire time she was pregnant. The vicodin was prescribed by her OBGYN for migraines. I voiced my opinion several times but was told as long as the dr was prescribing the vicodin she would be fine. Needless to say, he was born with a bid head,small body and hooked on vicodin and pot, he also suffers from asthma. when I was pregnant with my children you couldnt take a tylenol, you just dealt with the pain. And you had a natural childbirth.

Well, if she stays addicted, you can expect the baby to become addicted. If she gets help and quits, the baby may have a good chance at being ok. I don't know what really happens to all baby's when the mother is addicted, I had a friend who was addicted to oxy about 6 of the 9 months she was preggers, she got help and quit, and the baby was actually ok. So I am not really sure, just as tripped out said, everyone is different. Trying to urge her to get off is what is best for that little baby. I mean, she needs help. That baby needs help. I am sure she would be devastated if something were wrong with the baby. I am pretty sure that some opiates, the more stronger ones are class C drugs, which means they don't know what will happen to a baby if taken while pregnant and its not been tested and therefore they DO NOT recommend taking these drugs while pregnant. So I would again, urge her to get the helps he needs. For both her and her baby..I will pray for her and for the baby and for your family..
