Do not be afraid to tell your doctor..they have heard it all and telling now will keep DFS at bay.  With your doctor on your side it will go so much better.  If they find out at the birth...probably not gonna go well.  You must tell the doctor now.  They can help you know what to do next.  Just stopping will hurt you and in turn the baby.  What you are feeling so are they and even more so.  Others will chime in with support just be patient.  You did the right thing coming here.  Glad you made it.

Sweetheart, you must tell your ob/gyn.  Now.  I know you love your babies, all three of them.  Consider what this is doing to the baby inside of you, who is depending on you for her own life.

Reading your post just hurts my heart.  Your conscience is screaming at you, please get professional help to make sure this is managed for the best outcome for both of you!

Good Luck! :)

Hi there! Honestly, you really need to tell your OB/GYN as soon as possible. The baby is at risk for withdrawal when they are born. I know its easier said then done. Im afraid to give any other advice like tapering and such as its a delicate issue. DFS is not going to take away the kids as long as you are honest with your doctor. They usually check the meconium for drugs and Id hate that your doctor would be suprised. The baby will need some extra monitoring after born due to withdrawal anyways. Im sorry that I am not much more of a help to you. Im sending ((hugs)) and support. ~Bkitty
