34 weeks pregnant taking hydrocodone

I am 34 weeks pregnant and haven't taken anything in a week I did not suffer withdraws and I was prescribed them by the doctor for my chronic pain. I was wonder how long it would take for it to be out of my babies system so he doesn't have withdraws. I was taking around 2-4 10/500 mg a day. Please no judgement and my doctor knew I was taking them and prescribed them I just want advise from someone who has been there and knows.

The good thing is that you are feeling okay and the doctor knows what is going on.  Is this your first baby?

No. She said I wasn't taking enough to have withdraws and was right. I was worried about that too at first. I just want to make sure my baby doesn't withdraw. I have talked with my doctor about it and she said it can take up to two weeks to get out of the babies system.

I have been on them for amost six years off and on. I was on percocets before I found out I was pregnant. It is just if the baby does have withdraw symptoms he will be sent to a different hospital that has a neonatal care center and that hospital is pretty far from where I live and I don't want my baby to suffer just because I have chronic pain. I just want to be sure.

how long were you taking them for ?  If You didnt have any Wds couldnt of been long. I am no expert on this and hopefully someone will post that knows more. I would say the baby should have any Wds either ? and the dr knows so they will be prepared if baby does have any issues. Keep looking i am sure someone will answer better
