I have had a co-codomal (codeine) addiction for years, and now i am pregnant i have cut way down, but due to withdrawl headaches some days i have to take some. is this dangerous to my unborn??

very dangerous!!!

In the first and second trimester YES . talk to you doctor about the addiction and he/she will advise you on what to do. Sometimes stopping altogether can do more harm than good too so get the facts.BTW in your last trimester it is okay but in low dose if only the helpfulness of it outways the risk.

I believe so. I was hospitalized for kidney stones, and the OB's gave me 2 percocets every 2 hours and a shot of fentanyl which is synthetic morphine for my pain, and I am in the 3rd trimester, but I think its dangerous in the beginning. You should definately talk with your doctor.

It is stated that in the VERY first weeks of life (week 1-week 6) any insult to a pregnancy usually has an all or nothing effect. That is, it will either kill the pregnancy, or nothing will happen to the pregnancy.Either way, what you are doing is extremely harmful to your baby.Would you like to be FORCED to take drugs? no you wouldn't! and that is EXACTLY what you are doing to your baby.If the baby is born, and you keep this habit up... chances are it too will go through withdrawl, and scream, cry and be in PAIN for possibly the first few weeks or months of it's life. Is that what you want? to PURPOSELY put your baby through PAIN?Wake up to yourself, and realise that you have created a life- whether you wanted to or not is irrelevant. This baby chose you to be it's mother, and by you doing this to him/her... is POSSIBLE ABORTION without the clinic!I'm sorry for being so edgy on this issue... but surely you'd have more sense than this.Best wishes, and PLEASE get off the CRAP!
