I have read things about women taking Suboxone while being pregnant and their babies are perfectly healthy, but on the other hand I have heard that the babies go through withdrawals at times too. I have also read that if I"m just cut off of the Suboxone cold turkey without being tappered off of it that it could cause a miscarraige.

I recently found out that I am pregnant. I am 6 weeks pregnant and both my suboxone dr and my obgyn dr know I am on Suboxone. I can't withdrawal from the medication now that I am pregnant because the drs say that it will cause the baby to also go through withdrawal and will most likely cause a miscarriage. I was wondering if anyone has any input? Has anyone else had a child while on Suboxone or knows of someone who has? Did the baby go through withdrawal after birth?
I am 6 months pregnant and am a recovering heroin addict. I have been on suboxone for about 8 months and it has been working very well for me. My doctor doesnt know that I take this medication. My questions aqre: Should I tell her that I am on this? My belly isnt very big at all and I kindof feel like it is because I am taking suboxone. Now, the baby kicks and moves around ALL the time. I eat right and I have gained 15 pounds in the 6 months that I have been pregnant.
PART 1/2. I have been a heroin addict for 2 years/opiate addict for over five yrs. Just learned I'm prego today. I want help - more than anything I want help. I'd like to begin a suboxone/subutex treatment but how can I make that happen immediately? How can I make that happen before I need my next heroin dose and begin experiencing withdraws?
I also have several friends that also were out on suboxone while pregnant also others on hydrocodones and all their babies were fine. It's hard for ppl who aren't addicts to really ever understand. So ppl will always bash. I'm glad noone has on this post yet. Sorry to hear what happened to your sister. Of courser medications affect everyone differently but there's also many things relating to still birth and sometimes there's no explanation.
Actually I'm in the same boat. I'm 17 weeks pregnant and on 10mg. I've had 2 babies while on Methadone the 1st I was on 80mg and she had no withdrawals the 2nd I was on 40mg and she did have withdrawals and spent 12 days in the NICU and was on morphine. I was told it doesn't really depend on your dose if your baby does or doesn't withdrawal, it just depends on the baby. I'm definately trying to get off the Methadone before I have this one.
I formerly was terribly addicted to vicodin. The suboxone has been wonderful and have not relapsed since starting my treatment. Life is great now! However, I believe I am pregnant...I am 3 days late and am taking a test tonight. I am already concerned about suboxone and my possible unborn child. Does anyone have any information on the drug and the effects on a fetus? Please help! Thank you!
Wow, this topic has gone all over with no one really referring to your post. I take suboxone and adderall. Four years on both and don't plan to stop. I have chronic pain from fibromyalgia, and did not do well on opana and adderall as I wound up directly in the mental ward. My life has completely changed since my first suboxone dose. My head is clear, memory coming back, I can get out of bed now.
I am 9 months pregnant and have been on suboxone for almost a year now. I have has tests done and a number of ultrasounds and the doctors say the baby is great. But I am really concerned about whether I should withdrawal before I have the baby or just have the baby. I have been doing some research on suboxone and infant withdrawal and so far have found that infants do not go through any withdrawal sysptoms. But it's not good enough for me.
Ok I am on suboxone now and was once on methadone and also I am pregnant. I mean it's best to be on nothing while pregnant but some just can't do that without being extremely sick. From what I've read methadone has been studied for years and has been proven to have no danger to a baby accept that your baby will likely go through withdrawl and you might even have to give it morphine when it comes home.
Ok, I have been on suboxone since I first got pregnant with my now 4month old baby. When I was pregnant I was told by my suboxone doctor NOT to breastfeed because the medicine would pass through the breatmilk, so even though I wanted to, I planned on not breatfeeding.
I'm 32 weeks pregnant & currently taking about 8mg of suboxone daily! I've been so depressed during this pregnancy just knowing I'm on this crap! I have a bicornuate uterus & very high risk so I don't wanna hurt the baby more by stopping!! My high risk OB & regular check up OB have diff opinions, 1 says its fine the other thinks I should stop! Can or should I even try to stop cold turkey?!? I really need someone to help me here!
I was taking suboxone when I found out I was pregnant, and my doctor just slowly lowered my dose down to 2mgs a day until I was about 5 months and I just tapered off. But being on suboxone, or methadone, is much better for the baby then heroin. My son was born totally fine and healthy, didn't need to detox or anything. Just listen to the doctor , and take yur detox meds as prescribed and be very honest about any feelings you have.
I am 17 weeks pregnant and I'm currently on 8mg of suboxone a day. What are the risks and what will happen when the baby is born? Will he have to stay at the hospital? My current OBGYN recommended I don't have to switch to subutex.. but I've heard and seen different? I'm very concerned and am willing to try to come off completely for the baby's sake, but not sure what is best and my doctor doesn't seem to have much experience on the subject.
IM 10 weeks and 4days along, I'm on 4mg suboxone films and have to take it through my while pregnancy, unfortunately. I've never had a problem taking it before I got pregnant. Even though the taste is unpleasant. But. Since I got pregnant I cannot even smell it without puking. What I usually do is let a mint sit in top of my tounge while it is dissolving under my tounge but, I can't even do this without puking, every time and I'm waisting my films. Any suggestions and ideas?
