need help- hydrocodone during pregnancy

I took hydrocodone 10 mg 5 times a day for over 5 years(prescribed by my doc for several chronic illnesses). I found out I was pregnant and I immediatly cut myself down to 1 and 1/2 a day (15 mgs) for about a month then I cut myself down to about a half a day (5 mgs) for about a month. I had completely quit taking them by the time I was 29 weeks pregnant. I want to know if my baby will have any withdrawals from these. I will not be taking anymore during my pregnancy. I am currently 31 weeks 1 day pregnant. I kknow what hydrocodone is, what class drug its in, Ive done all the research on birth defects. I want to know about withdrawals. All of my ultrasounds show healthy baby above average in size. Any help is appreciated.
