i am so glad to hear from you at last! and its good your not feeling too bad, you will be doing the right thing by telling yourdoctor everything, i wish you well for your appointment on monday, take care and god bless.
The best thing u can do in this situation is be completely honest with your dr. If ur ob/dr was prescribing u the meds there are no reason for CPS to get involved to take your baby away. I was addicted to percs when I found out I was preg since I was in pain management for a herniated disk. I was able to wean off in the beginning but towards the end I suffered from severe migraines and back pain and my dr put me on percs and I was in and out of the hospital getting shots of morphine. As much as I hated to take anything I was in so much pain. I was on the meds for 3 weeks then I knew I had to stop. I went into labor 2 days later. They found opiates in my baby's system and my dr immediately signed off that I was perscribed meds so that CPS didn't get involved. Unfortunately my daughter was born mildly addicted and was in the nicu for 2 weeks. It killed me cause I hated seeing her suffer.
I don't know how long everything is in ur system, but I would say at least a week. I wish u all the best!! Believe me I know how hard this must be for you. I still feel the guilt, but u are a good person and a great mother!!! This addiction is b**ch!!! Just be up front and honest and stay away from the meds. (I know easier said than done).
Congrats on 4 days!! It's great ur feeling good and strong cause it sounds like u r doing great!!! Keep us posted, and feel free to ask me anything!!

Hi all! I'm officially on day 4 of no pills and I feel fine! Ive had very minor withdrawal symtoms compared to previous experiences.. I had the diarrhea and body aches the first day then each day after has gotten better. I'm hoping this means the baby isn't suffering much either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my little man doesn't come out early. I have a doctor appt on Monday and am going to tell him what's going on. I've been doing some research and I've gotten the impression that its out of your system in 7 days..anyone know if this is correct? Vamama- you said you quit 2 weeks before? Was ur baby still born addicted? I'm hoping that its out of mine and my babys systems by the time he comes..any info anyone has on the length it stays in your and your fetus system would help. I will die if my baby has to suffer!! Thank you everyone for your support. (Some not as much) :) having this has helped me through my last 4 days and now I know I can make it! I'm not even craving them anymore! ! ;)

I actually got addicted to vic's while pregnant. I hurt my back & took them throughout my pregnancy. They will not hurt the baby. HOWEVER... The baby become addicted to them. I stopped two weeks before she was born, it was hard as hell. My doc told me what the withdrawls would be like for the baby & I couldn't bear to have my little one enter the world with w/d. You can stop. I feel for you. But I know you will do right for the baby. Keep coming back & posting it helps.
