Slipper makes a good point about the Subutex. My sister just had her first baby, and she’s definitely a worrier as well. The moment something came up that was out of the plan, she would wig out over it frantically. Now the baby is born and she’s beautiful, and my sister is really proud to be a mother.
I’m not too familiar with Suboxone and how it effects pregnancy. But most women who are prescribed Suboxone legitimately I’ve heard get switched to Subutex. It’s mainly because Subutex doesn’t contain the added naloxone, and it’s a good precaution to minimise the number of extra drugs being put into our bodies while pregnant.
For the most part, I think it’s advised medically that women don’t detox themselves while pregnant, because opioid withdrawals can increase risk of miscarriage because of the extra stress it puts on the body. So mothers-to-be are often advised to stay on Suboxone / MMT. I don’t know if the advice would be different for you, given your dose is just 2mg.
I think it’s really important to do what Slipper said and get in touch with a doctor, who can then liase with your OB and help you through. Despite the potential cost, it’s in the best interest of you and your baby. And stick around here.
Congrats on the pregnancy. And don’t worry
