Hello all!!!
I feel so blessed to have so many people following my situation it’s helping me tremendously!
I started back on the subutex I’m taking 4mgs a day.. Spread out thruought the day, and they put me back on .25 as needed (once a night) colonipin, which has helped me eat, helped me sleep, I can take a shower every day I haven’t thrown up in a week, haven’t went one sleepless night in over a week, and have gained five pounds in two weeks of the 20 I lost the first trimester. I’m now 14.3 weeks, and got an ultrasound did the neurotranslucency test everything’s fine got blood work done for any genetic disorders and the baby’s completely fine.
Now here’s where I get knocked back down….(which has been happening alot)
My ob did a drug screen when I was 5 weeks, I had a trace of marijuana in my system so she alerted child protective services.
I smoked one bowl one time two weeks before I found out I was pregnant because I was in and out of the hospital they said I wasn’t pregnant all the nausea medication in the world couldn’t keep any of my heart meds down no food nothing so I smoked (and got it from a owner of a dispensary) because I was willing to try anything to get food in my stomache and was in the process of getting my medical. Card… So long story short I smoked called my counselor at my intensive outpatient and we did a 24 hour relapse prevention sheet and session and everything was fine never touched anything again.
So now my ob has said that a case worker will be there as soon as I give birth
Now I’m worried because if the baby is born in withdrawls will the case worker take him because I’m on the sub and Colonopin? I’m going to taper off the Colonopin slowly after a month and be off a month or two before birth but sub I’d rather stay on and me and the baby be safe. But now I’m so scared.
The specialist I saw was amazing she has experience deliveringg baby’s addicted to substances and she was no judgmental and my ob had me in tears because I’m on subutext and anxiety meds. I called the specialist and they do accept patients but it has to he referred by my ob I go to now and I don’t know how to ask my ob to refer me I can’t say I don’t like u she will just tell me to find another regular on not the one I want to go to.. I just don’t want someone so judgmental ruining such a special day
So I guess I need to know how to ask her to refer me to the specialist that explained everything and made me feel very comfortable!!
