pregnant and oxycodone

[an12113]

I'm 36 weeks pregnant . I'm a recovering addict . My husband past away while pregnant and I relapsed for a few weeks using oxycodone . At 27 weeks I quit and have been clean ever since . Will my baby still go through withdrawl .please no judgment . I know my wrongs I have battled very hard to stay clean .

Congratulations on being strong enough to get clean again! U are an amazing mama! No baby won't have withdrawals hunny. Pills are out of your system by now. I'm currently on subutex and will be on it my whole pregnancy. My baby is doing good and growing fine. Don't worry. I really think u and baby will be okay. Are u feeling any withdrawl right now?

It is not your doctors job to judge you. They are there to help you. You need to talk to them. Addiction is a hard battle. It's not easy. I can't imagine losing my husband. Don't be so hard on yourself. You have no reason to be ashamed. If someone hasn't walked in your shoes they can't judge you. I know withdrawal is harder on the baby than it is you. It's been 10 weeks since you quit. I do not know how long it takes baby to get it out of their system. I know people that used while pregnant and their child was okay. Talk to your doctor for reassurance.

That's my big question my body hasn't went through withdrawal in 9 10 weeks . I don't want to b on any medication if in don't have to be . Like methadone . I question is has anyone known anyone who's experience d something like this who stoped use 3 months before baby . Was their baby ok was their any withdrawl symptoms

I would talk w your Dr about getting help and getting on something-subutex,methadone,suboxone whichever is safest-to help you not have the craving s and or relapse I know withdraw can hurt the baby but if you are getting help at least the Dr can help you do this right! Best of luck and prayers for you and baby and all you are dealing with

Thank you so much for all the support ...I have no withdrawal symptoms been clean for about 10 weeks . I just worry about baby .

Im so sorry for your loss and everything you have had to endure. I dont know anything about how your drug use will effect the baby in terms of withdrawls. A good idea would be to talk to your doctor or even your nursing team at the hospital so they are prepared in the event that the baby does suffer withdrawls. I hope that everything works out for you and your baby. You should be proud that you were able to stop. I will keep you in my prayers

I think your doctor will understand.  Tell them that you know it was wrong and you're ashamed (hoping to avoid a lecture) and let them know you're worried about the baby.  They have probably heard much worse.  You were going through a really hard time.  I think the doctor will understand.

I know I've been so scared to tell them . I've worked very hard to stay clean through my husband passing was difficult .so great full to b Clean today . Guess  I'm ashamed .

That's a hard question to answer.  I would think if it's out of your system it should be out of the baby's system by delivery.  You should talk to your doctor about it though.
