I am 36 weeks pregnant and about a week ago i tested positive for opium when my doctor drug tested me. I took what i thought was a over the counter pain med cuz my back went out but apparently my "friend" had given me a 30 mlg oxy. now child protective services are involved and i was told once my child is born they will test the placenta for drugs and was wondering how long do oxys stay present for that kind of testing? please help i dont want to lose my kids.
It's hard to stay clean while pregnant. I was clean and relapsed unfortunately. So I talked to the doc and went to the methadone clinic until I gave birth. Cause I didn't want to lose the baby if I stopped cold turkey. But once the baby was born I stopped going and handled the withdrawal for myself. They can look back as long as they want to I believe. But if you stay clean, and dont test positive anytime they will still test the baby's poop, cause they give them a medicine when first born. That could kill them, if the mother was on opiates while pregnant. I was only on pain pills, but its really important to be honest with your doctor. They are there to help.
For a nurse, you a extremely close minded & ignorant. Do you not understand, that drug addiction is NOT a choice? NOBODY wakes up, one morning, and says,"Hey! I'm going to become a drug addict!"
It is a very difficult thing to overcome, & prescription medication is a much better route for a mother, compared to the alternative. Yes, withdrawing is an awful, Awfull thing for a newborn baby to go through... But it IS better then having a dead baby.
Learn more about addiction, before you try to judge it, because it is extremely obvious... To EVERYONE, that you have NO IDEA.
I read your reply can you please help me

Hi I'm 28 weeks pregnant and my regular doctor has had me on 30mg extended release through my pregnancy and explained to me that as long as I am off them at least 4 weeks before I deliver that my baby will be fine no withdrawals when born and will no longer be detectable in her system I'm trying to ween myself off them currently but I'm terrified of what my baby will go through while I'm withdrawing and then I read all these comments about when the baby is born and I'm extremely scared any advice for me
Yes most likely your child can be in danger
Can I email you I have some questions about how things turned out for you. And you seemed supportive
How dare you say she is already a bad mother.. Who are you to judge. You don't know her or her circumstance.

This post is from a while ago but needed to comment because of the distasteful, uneducated, and indelicate judgmental responses from people who do not understand chronic pain in pregnancy. unfortunately, people who pass tasteless judgement on pregnant women whom suffer from chronic pain or malignant pain (cancer) are ignorant for having the audacity to pass nasty judgement of any kind. There's always a risk and many variables to factor. In regards to the comment that women who require pain medication to function should not have children; how low are you! Women who need pain medication, don't take it lightly. Im pregnant and have a 2 year old soon. Due to chronic illnesses I need pain relief to just get up and moving. I used to cry and worry for fear of harming my child and the scrutiny uneducated society. All whom have commented attacking post for sharing-SHAME ON YOU.. It's called empathy people. I pray to all whom passes judgement never suffers from debilitating pain pregnant or not. And I would bet to all of you who says who wouldn't, I bet when you have pain so bad you can't breathe 24/7 you'll be screaming a different tune!! Read peer review articles and educate yourself and leave hateful, attacking comments for yourself people. If you need pain management while pregnant talk with your OB and see a high risk. Don't let anyone make you feel degraded for making a decision that the risk out weigh the benefits.
I was taken pain meds found I was pregnant stoped but was ten weeks before I found out I gonna ben in trouble
Your best bet (i too am a recovering addict and have relapsed before) seek counseling and maybe some maintenance meds. They don't just rip children from their mothers. Cps tries to preserve the family in most cases. If you seek help, that always looks good for you..
Are you stupid? When you're pregnant your uteris and cervix is closed off so his sperm doesn't even go anywhere near your baby. The only way oxycodone will be in your baby's system is if you are the one taking it. Duh
Almost same situation as me, i need answers too.
I am 26weeks pregnant, I have chronic pain and been prescribed oxycodone my entire pregnacy...if I ween down to only a few 10 mg oxycodone s a day, will my baby have withdrawls
This message is very helpful. It have lifted me up. I understand what the lady is going thru. Thanks for your help!!!! Might need to keep talking to you. :) :(
What was your outcome at birth?
When did you finally completely stop taking the medication before you gave birth ?
