Drug use

[1stpregnancy91]

I just found out that I'm 6-8 weeks pregnant. I am, or should I say was, a recreational drug user. In the last two months I smoked pot regularly and took approx. 3 vicodin 10mg and 1 percocet 10mg to help with back pain from a car accident. I don't regularly use pain meds and am far from addicted, I am just so worried that those couple pills hurt my little one. :( help!

I'm just going to try and forget about everything I did prior to knowing I was pregnant, and focus and what I do have control over which is how I take care of myself from here on out. I have been eating better and taking prenatals since I found out. Even quit smoking cigarettes. I just can't wait till my first appointment. I hope every thing is okay..

I agree with abbar.. try not to Google too much during your pregnancy;; bc not everything is true for everyone, everybodys pregnancy is different and you don't need to stress yourself out. All that matters is as soon as you found out you were pregnant you quit taking pills. Just let your Dr know, and I'm sure they can reassure you baby will be just fine..

My advice don't believe most of the stuff you read online,I have almost given myself a heart attack atleast 20 times during this pregnancy cause of stuff online! Just be honest with your doctor! 8 weeks isn't bad I know a girl who drank(like college drank all the time) till she was 6 months pregnant her baby is 4 and seems to be perfectly fine! Don't worry :)

I quit as soon as I found out, I just know that the first trimester is the most crutial and I will never be able to live with myself if taking a couple pills harms my baby. I've done a lot of research and some places say as long as you aren't using them regularly for a period of time that it qill be fine, and others say that it won't. :(

The most important thing is that you quit right away. Your doctor should be able to tell if its harmed your baby or not but I think you should be fine. Sounds like you are on the right path, try not to stress too much. Good luck and congrats!

Some people do crack while they are pregnant and their babies come out just fine! All you can do is hope! I wouldn't worry whatever is gonna happen will happen regardless of if you worry or not! Just take good care of yourself and relax :)
