How Long Will Oxycodone Be Present In A Placenta (Top voted first)

Updated

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.

Ladies I feel your pain, free, and frustration. I understand that many people posting to this board have no idea how controlling these medications become an the effect they have on your body. If they took the time to ask for information, please dont slam them and tell them what monsters they are. You don't know them or their personal situation. My personal situation is this I have a severe neurological chronic pain condition, I didnt even think I could get pregnant for a very long time, but alas I finally did! I was on 100mg of Morphine ER 4x daily at the beginning and weened my way down to Morphne 15mg 1x daily. For my last week of pregnancy I was on nothing. It was a rough ride, but I never went through true detox because I did it slowly and wth the help of medical professionals. I didn't go to rehab or anything like that. I worked with my doctors and was honest about where I was at with the process. I gave birth to a beautiful 8 lb baby girl today, she scored a 10/10 on her Apgar, is eating and breathing normally, all her vitals are fantastic. I understand the fear, the pain of physically coming off these medications, and the guilt you feel. If any of you ladies need some guidance or just someone to listen to you without judgement you can email me at {edited for privacy} Good luck to you all!

You do not need to abort your child because of this! I'm 37 weeks pregnant, having a C section in wo weeks, and had been on oxycodone for the first 5 months of my pregnancy. They were weaning me down, and once I got to a much lower dose, they put me on Subutex to finish the pregnancy. The subutex prevents you from going into withdrawal, and it also prevents the bay from going into withdrawal. It's more dangerous to stop cold turkey while pregnant. As long as you are under the care of a doctor who is prescribing these meds, it will be ok. They usually prefer to do a subutex program first, then lower the dose of that, and then assess the baby when it's born. It's better for the baby to detox outside of the womb because they can monitor it better. Your baby will not be brain damaged from the narcotics, as someone said earlier, they just may go through withdrawal, which they can control in the hospital. If you stop cold turkey while pregnant, you risk losing the baby. I ave a chronic pain condition that required the use of pain meds, so I've been working with many different doctors throughout the pregnancy. But please don't feel like you need to abort...you have options, and you're still early enough in your pregnancy that it can work out for you. My baby has been closely monitored in utero, and she's doing great! I've decreased my subutex and will be off of it about a week before my section, so that the meds they give me after surgery will work (subutex blocks the receptors in your brain so that other opiates won't work). If you need to talk to someone, let me know and I'm happy to share more of the information that I've been given...and I'm working with many f the top doctors in my area! Good luck, and as hard as it seems, try to enjoy your pregnancy. You CAN have a happy ending!

I am 37 week with my second child and during both pregnacys my doctor has precribed me Percocet because I am very prone to kidney stones while pregnant! The doctor would not precribe it if it wasn't okay. You should not being taking anything like that whiteout your doctors knowledge tho that is dangerous. I would see a OB ASAP and work it out with them to see what's best for you and baby! Good luck

I am 38 weeks pregnant. I haven't really used all that much oxycone in the last few weeks. But I took ten mg the day before yesterday and then today I took 7.5 mg. I am worried the baby will withdrawal if she's born on her due date. How long does this drug take to leave the baby while she's still inside me?

I am about 36weeks into my pregnancy and I am So afraid that I continue to do every Tip and trick out there on how to post pone a earely fast labor even with the fact of me being healthy and the baby is snuggled inside of me. Just so I can buy some time until when I do give birth, to figure out what I'm going to do. It's all because I am a User with any opiates. Mostly oxy cotton , for the first 2years. l went to rehab twice. First time I was there for the 70 days, a total of 5 months but I then relapsed for a few months until June where I went back to treatment. This time I was away from June 14th and completed the program on October 22 I was doing better this time. I left with a sponsor, I was going to na/aa meetings 4-5 night's per week etc.. unfortunately I relapsed again in April of this year. I got pregnant in February and after that fRom February to April which was the month I found out, I was using around 40-60 milagrams a day threw out that time . I still am. Now I received a letter from children's aid since I am already without my first son who is 3 and not in my care. So most likely it's a check up for a review. I got off them before , off from a higher dose at 380 milligrams cold turkey to nothing. But now I am 36 weeks pregnant now, getting to sick without them. I will still always pray for strength and for the lord to watch over us and not to please look after her as I am not well enough to do so. To also get off these once and for all , to please keep my daughter because besides this illness I am an amazing mom and I love children so much and would lose my mind if I was to llose my babies and not being able to be a mother. I will be okay. Thank you for taking the time to read my storey, I just needed to be open and honest about this to someone. Any advice would be appreciated or being able to read replys so I know I'm not alone and there still is hope. Xxo

Fedal alcohol sendrom is the #1 cause for birth defects. Stop drinking. It would be better for the baby to withdrawal than be permanently damaged.

I read your story and its heartfelt. When you put your trust in the LORD you can't go wrong. With GOD you and your baby will be fine. Keep praying and believe that your baby will be covered by GOD no matter what. You'll get clean and your baby will be ok.

No sweet heart it will not hurt the baby because it's to soon in the pregnancy I stopped at six months cold turkey and by the grace of god the baby is fine

I don't think they do the tests unless there is a reason, if the drs know the mothers have done drugs or the baby shows signs of withdraws. I would hope the state of Alabama would let the grandmother have temp custody of the baby. I wish you all the best, sorry I don't know 100%.

Look i was taking pain meds also and when i told my doctor they referred me to a methadone clinic, it's safe and since i was referred, no one took my son i was steady going all the way through my pregnancy, yes some babies have withdraws but it's safer then slowing down or quitting the other meds. Im still on methadone, but at a much smaller dose then i was. It's something that takes time. So be supportive and there for her, we need that support from our parents or we could relapse...hope i helped a little..good luck!!

3wks ago i found out I am 3mths pregnant and I have been taking opium for about 2yrs now. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I try stopping cold turkey since I was afraid what it can do to my child but it may me very ill. I called the doctor and he to me that it could have affected the baby the first 3mths. He has me weaning off them. I was doing 3-4 a day of 10/325 now I am at 3 1/2 of that a day. I cry everyday because I just want off of them period. I almost feel like I should not do this to this child and maybe abort it? I've never dont an abortion but in this case I might consider it. I feel terribly bad. Everyone tells me I am doing find to stop worrying so much. However they aren't the ones putting their child through this. Please help. I want to go into a Rehad but don't want any subtitutions I just want off of them!!!!!
