No hun I don't but none of us are doctors here so it always best to get that answer from your doctor.

thank you so much!!! u dont think my baby will have any deformities do u?

[IBKleen]

You have stopped taking them? I didn't see that, sorry. Well good for you and good that tests all came back okay. It will not be in the baby's system in two months as long as you stay clean.

Now for a little wake up call--I hope this isn't something that you will pick up again after the baby is born. You have an opportunity here to get on with your life and enjoy the beautiful little baby growing inside of you. I hope you hang on to that. Best of luck to you both!

will i have had all my tests already and everything has came back perfect.. my main question i really wanted answered was not that im off them will they still be in my babys systems when he is born?

Abusing any drug can cause problems. There is no way to tell if anything is wrong with your baby until you get the proper tests. There is nothing to be afraid of. Doctors deal with this everyday. NOT telling them could be problematic later on. If the baby is born with the drug in it's system, let's say, or if the baby goes into withdrawal after he/she is born, there may be problems. Don't you think it would be best to be honest now and not wait until it is too late? You can't hide this once to go into labor.

[shorty490]

yes and yes!! can taking the pills cause deformities in ur baby?

[IBKleen]

YOU may not be going through withdrawal but how do you know what is going on with the baby? I assume you haven't been honest with your doctor? Are you afraid?

[shorty490]

when i dont have them though i dont go through any kind of w/d thoughh

Hi & Welcome,

Stopping the medication cold turkey can be dangerous for the unborn baby. You need to get honest with your OBGYN and allow him/her to set you up on a taper plan or whatever they decide to do. This has to be between you and your doctor. I wish you both the best.
