39 weeks pregnant withdrawal from Percocet

[lilwic]

Im 39 weeks pregnant today is it safe for me to just stop cold turkey from Percocet?  My ob is the one that gives them to me. Im just worried about my baby girl going through withdrawals...

No...you dont want to go through withdrawals while your pregnant because it will harm the baby. After the baby is born, the hospital will start him/her on a weaning program. Ive read that these programs generally last about 2 weeks but can vary on an individuals needs.

Congrats on the baby and I wish you a safe delivery!

It is not safe to stop CT.  Talk with your OB about your worries. I'm sure your Ob works with pediatricians who work with high-risk deliveries.  If you baaby is born addicted, the pediatrician and nurses will take excfellent to ensure she/he is kept as comfortable as possible.   Congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy!
