Question about Vicodin/Pregnancy

[eastbaymom]

I am 24 weeks pregnant and have been taking 2-3 Vicodin in 7.5/750 strength most days of my pregnancy.  I originally started taking them for headaches and also severe sciatic nerve problems but have continued taking them without seeing if I could manage without them.  At the most, I will skip one pill a day.  I have never taken more than 3 in a day.  But my question is, if I taper down soon, will there be any addiction/withdrawl in the baby?  This is my worst fear so I want to stop well in advance.  I guess this dosage indicates I am taking 23mg per day?  At this amount would a baby be born addicted?

I am sorry no one has answered yet. Hang on. Someone should chime in soon. What you are asking is a loaded question that is best answered by a Dr or OBGyn. I believe if the baby is born and goes into withdrawals, the hospital is obligated to report it. You don't want to do anything that could put your baby at risk.
