Hi ! My name is Jessy and I am pretty much in the same boat. I have done TONS and TONS of research, and through alot of thinking and thinking and more thinking and consulting with OB and Subutex doc and the nicu doctors who actually take care of the WD babys here at the hospital I plan to deliver at ( I am here currently for unrelated issues – asthma :C ), my husband and I have decided it will be best for my little girl for me to continue on my low dose of subutex (2Mgs a day). I struggle with this decisions still, as I WAS clean, didn’t know I was pregnant, and relapsed. Guilt is a something that i struggle with , and yet I still have this strong sense of calm and peace, like I know she will be ok as long as I am here, advocating and doing what is best for HER and not ME. I am 19 weeks today, and due April 18th. A few family members know of the Subutex, my sister in law is on them as well, but my parents DO NOT. and I don’t want them too. First of all, the are very judgmental and I am still in a process of not judging MYSELF, I don’t need anyone else to do it for me. I also don’t need people second guessing and nay saying my decision, I know in my heart of heart that in my current circumstance that I am doing what is best for my daughter. Anyway, I just wanted to share, relate, and see if anyone has some tips on what I can tell my family as well!
