22 weeks pregnant and opiate dependency

[EAD0913]

I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child and I developed a dependency to oxycodone and hydrocodone 2 years ago after multiple surgeries. I haven't been prescribed them for a year but I get them from friends. I recently quit taking them after I tapered down throughout my pregnancy, but I have never told my dr. about this. I'm so afraid they're going to test the babies meconium or my placenta and see that I have used these medications and take my baby. If you have any insight on this, please help me out!

Hi I just had a good friend give birth last weekend and her pregnancy started out with pills and beer ( kinda how she got pregnant) if you know what I mean ..anyway her husband along with friends helped her get cleaned up over a period of a few months but one of the keys were talking with the OBGYN about the issue that way the had the info to help with checking on the baby over the moths ahead ..... You should talk with your doc and really think about getting a plan started to help you and your baby.. how many and what mg pills are you taking?

this person ^^^ above. "Just stop" if life was that easy we wouldn't have this message board. Or addicts. You need to go in and be honest with your doctor is what you need to do Hun.

If you are only 22 weeks (almost 6 months) if you can STOP now, you shouldn't have a problem. I'm guessing you have had problems in the past? You really need to stop taking all pills for you and your baby's health. If your only concern is them testing you, just stop.
