Pregnant And Needing Help

I've been on Suboxone since April 2012. Last week I found out I am pregnant, and am about four weeks along. I called my doctor who prescribes the Suboxone, and she has left me with a difficult ultimatem. She has prescribed subutex for a week, and then my treatment is up to me. I either need to go to methadone clinic (which is too far for me to drive daily, and id have to win the lotto to afford it) or risk a miscarriage by not taking anything. She will only help me for a week. I've contacted the Suboxone hotline, and women can take subutex or methadone while pregnant with less risk than Suboxone. Where can I look.for another doctor? I feel like no one will want to treat me since my doc is basically throwing me out. If anyone has any suggestions or ideas of where I can look.for.help please let me know. I'm scared, and I dont want to have a miscarriage if I have to go through withdrawl if I can't afford.this clinic.

Do you have an ObGyn, yet?

If not, you should find one as soon as possible. They will be the best qualified person to help you and your baby and to assist in you in finding your best treatment options.

Your doctor not wanting to continue to treat you right now is understandable, though I understand that it puts you in a bind. But, if they continue to treat you, they would be taking on responsibility for the life of your child, as well as you and the possible repercussions if something would go wrong could cause them to lose their medical license.

Almost any doctor, or clinic you contact right now is going to tell you the same thing, find an ObGyn and go from there. They aren't going to want to take you on otherwise.

Congrats on your pregnancy!

Thanks. I had contacted my ob before anyone else but her schedule was very full and she won't see me till a few weeks. Like I said, I did some searching last night and the first doc on my list will take me. Thank you though. I never post in forums like this, and I really needed some advice so I appreciate it.
