33 weeks and 5 days and im takeing opiates(scared need help)

I dont Know what to do I know i am wrong for takeing pain meds while im pregnant. I been takeing oxycodone (percocet),oxycotine,some vicoden the whole time. I did manage to just stick with oxycodone and cut down to where i can cut a 30mg into 4pieces and be ok with that for the day.I used to be up to 12 plus pills a day.Now i am very worried about this cus i have bipolar and severe depression and anxiety. I go to a shrink perscriber and now there doing mandatory drug screening. I peed in a cup today but only a lil so i dont even know if they can use it i did take a 5mg and 20mg of percocet yesterday. I dont know if it was enough urine if it will show up and i am worried about it.This perscriber I have is really rude and miseriable she is new and this is only the 2nd time i have seen her.Anyway my OB has no idea I been takeing percocet or others i mentioned. I am scared to say anything because I dont want my baby taken but i know it will probably show in her system when she is born. I have had a past of useing drugs crack cocaine 13yrs i been clean off that. I have 3 childeren i do not have that the state took custody of not because of drugs but becase i was not on meds at the time and i was unstable.I am thinking they will take my baby cus of my past and use this against me im so worried and scared I have no clue how to deal with this. I have till between dec 30 - jan 3. I also live in MA and dont know there laws about it here. Someone please help and give me some advice if you can.

I dont see why they would take your baby.  You are working towards taking care of your addiction.  You came forward and told your secret now.  That takes alot of strength and it shows you want the help.  I am so SOOOOO proud of what you did.  There is a huge change in you from yesterday.  Now you have hope.

Are you ready for the baby?  Room ready, clothes diapers etc??

You've done the right thing. Confessing to a doctor is so hard - but don't you feel better? Ashe gave you great advice and she is so right. Babies are born all the time to moms who need to be on pain meds and they are fine. Like I said - I had multiple high risk OB's tell me the same thing. You will be in my prayers. Please keep us posted!
