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

[melissa347]

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.

Melissa, this is another one of our mom's that has a wealth of knowledge also.  We are so lucky to have these girls come over to this forum and help out.

I'm not a regular poster on here, but read your story and my heart went out to you.  I do work in Social Services and would like to perhaps offer some reassurance.  They do not look to taking the baby as a first step.  It is almost always the preference to keep baby with mom whenever possible.  So the fact that you have come clean about the situation, and are working so hard on it really is going to be viewed as a huge positive.  You should feel proud of the steps you are taking to protect and take care of your baby.  Yes, they may want to do home visits, etc. for a bit, but given the direction your moving in, I suspect things will be ok.  Congrats on both your pregnancy, and on working so hard towards getting off the pills.  I wish you absolute success!  I see this type of situation all the time at work, and usually there are other factors involved before they take the child.  It has to be a situation where mom cannot care for the baby.  Hopefully this helps put your mind at ease a little bit.

Well look at you go Melissa!!  You have a great plan in place.  By the time this baby gets here you will be feeling so much better.  Recovery is hard work but it is so worth it.  The rewards will be endless~~~sara

Not sure if you know.... Open meetings allow nin addicts to attend to support the addict, closed meetings are only for addicts. It doesnt mran full or private. Didn't want you to think that, and maybe miss a good meeting. ;) I mentioned this bc you said you were going to all open meeting.
