codeine use baby withdrawals? arthritis ?

[Danushka]

Hello,

I have spondylitis- rheumatoid- osteoarthritis.
I have been taking codeine throughout pregnancy (prescribed) x2 30mg up to 4X a day

im now 35 weeks and in such a panic about baby suffering from withdrawals?

is there anyone who has taken codeine daily and what was the birth outcome? How was baby? Did they suffer any withdrawals? If so what?

im looking for any experience rather than all the stats and clinical studies that focus more on methadone and heroin!

any stories will be greatly received ❤️

I had to take it round the clock or I was in too much pain to breathe properly. My baby showed no sign of withdrawal and was very settled right from the start. My worries didn't come to anything.

Thank you so much for the reply - if you don’t mind me asking how many mg was you taking round the clock? Was this daily? I am so worried! I have cut mine down in half and was hoping to stop but I can’t even walk stand or sleep with this pain (I feel so selfish saying that!) I was warned even if I was taking 30mg daily baby would withdraw! I’m hoping to breastfeed too!
