Hang on, because I know you’re scared but I want you to be safe about this. As far as what my doctors told me, there’s no specific miscarriage phase that you can pass through and be all in the clear. From what I understand, the w/d is dangerous to the baby throughout the pregnancy. In fact, my OB informed me that it can lead to sudden, unexplained fetal demise. That’s what he clearly said. Fetal demise is the worst outcome, obviously.
I understand completely that you’re afraid and don’t know what to do and that you absolutely don’t want those CPS creeps involved. However, it’s not always a good thing to make decisions based on fear and not facts. I had a baby on 3 mg Sub, was honest with my doctors to whole entire time, had a healthy baby with zero NAS, and my baby went home with me. Nearly all the stories I’ve read on here about women having babies on Sub have been positive as well.
I’d advise you to taper carefully as low as you can without giving yourself w/d, assuming you can handle cravings. If you are sick from w/d, the baby is too. If your blood pressure shoots up from w/d, you can have a placental abruption. This is no joke. I don’t want to scare you, but there are real risks associated with this, and I don’t want you to make a decision based on one story on a website and then have that decision have terrible consequences. It doesn’t have to be one way or the other. You can taper. Even if you taper and don’t make it all the way off, it will reduce the chances of NAS significantly. How much are you on? There really is a way to do this that carefully and everything will be okay.
BTW, my ‘Sub’ baby is three now and she’s healthy as a horse. She’s my only kid with no allergies and asthma; she’s very bright and beautiful. It all worked out okay and it can for you too. My heart goes out to you, because I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders too when pregnant and on Sub. I wish I’d known then what I know now, because I would have enjoyed my pregnancy a lot more. ((((HUGS)))) Please let us help you!!
