Codeine withdrawal

Not sure where to put this ?
I'm newly pregnant, 5 weeks and I've been taking prescription strength codeine for the last couple of years for back pain and pelvic pain. The day i found out I was pregnant I stopped completely. I only ever took 2 a day, at the most 4 a day. I've had restless legs and body aches at night but other than that I'm okay. But I've just realised that going cold turkey I may have somehow hurt my unborn baby ? Is this a possibility? Should I have weaned off them ? Freaking out now as I thought I was doing the right thing stopping but in hindsight maybe I should've gradually cut down... I didn't think I took enough to have to gradually stop

I would speak to the GP about this and also about managing your pain during your pregnancy. They may need to change your prescription to something else.
