36 weeks pregnant and want to stop taking percocet

[Scaredkt]

I take prescribed percocet daily. But I want to not take it anymore, will my baby still have withdrawals? I only take 10mg a day

I was very relived to hear that they were prescribed by your OB....it does seem like a pretty low dose, so I am going to assume you really shouldn't have too many problems with getting off of 10mg per day. I would like to think that your OB knows what he's doing....I hope everything goes well with your delivery.  Good luck to you.

No my second baby.. my first was 13 years ago.. so ob gives me meds for my bad back n I'm older lol

Talk with your OB about wanting to get off them.  He/she will be able to give you a taper plan as you dont want to go cold turkey off them.  The nice thing here is your OB knows you are taking them.  We see many here that dont. Is this your first baby?

[Scaredkt]

Yes my ob prescribed them in the last 5 months

Is your OB the prescribing doctor of the percocet?

So you are 9 months pregnant. Do not do anything. Yes, your baby will feel anything you do. Talk to your gyno asap. Be 100% honest.
