I am a man and not really familiar with the law and how that works but I can tell you that it would benefit u more than hurt you. If you talk to your ob ans tell them you need help and can't do it on your own and go to rehab they won't take the baby if you are clean. If you didn't tell them anything and didn't get help and they test the baby after its born and come up positive for opiate u will lose it. Nurse can easily tell if a baby is born in wd and showing signs of distress. You need to talk to your ob on what's best for u and ur baby. I think that rehab and or suboxone and therapy maybe good for you. Its not good to go cold Turkey with a baby in you because they feel everything u do. I am glad u have reached.out and there are a ton of ppl here who can help u and many girls in.your spot I have seen a few if u look back the last week in the forum. But please look into aftercare and start going to meetings AS/NA they help alot and u can't do this alone. Good luck tl you I hope everything works out and u get better.

The forum slows down during the day so hang tight cause you will get replies. There are some wonderful ladies on here that have been in the same position that you are in now.

I can't say from personal experience but can say from reading past posts. Your best bet would to be completely upfront and honest with your ob. It can be dangerous for your baby to come off drugs without being monitored by a doctor. They will not take your baby if they know you are seriously trying to get off and are doing the right thing. If you go into labor, have the baby and either you or your baby test positive, then you run the risk of having something happen.

Others will give you much better advice than I was able to. Congrats on the pregnancy and wanting to do the right thing. You coming here and posting shows how mu h you truly care and love your baby.

Best of luck to you!
