How long will opiates stay in the system of a fetus?

[badmom54]

I am 35 weeks pregnant and currently going through opiate withdrawls. I am curious to how long my use will effect my unborn child. I don't want to admit my failure as a mother to anyone. I was hoping by quiting now I maybe able to get the drugs out of my system and my babies. I have only been abusing the drugs for 6 weeks ( since my 29th week of pregnancy). What can I do? And how long will this effect my child?

I'm about 25 weeks pregnant and have been using hydrocodone and percocet throughout my pregnancy maybe 4 a day some days I will go without, my question is, if I quit now will my baby have it in his system? I don't want any judging reply, I just want an honest answer, I'm afraid of getting my baby taken away, but I have such bad pains that some days I can't even get out of bed. So if they test his poop will he test positive for opiates?
