methadone and pregnancy?
SmileItsNotThatSerious asked:
Are there any women in nj area who are pregnant and on methadone?
NJ has proposed a law that would take away a woman’s right to slowly STOP taking this powerful medication while pregnant. While stopping methadone is not always best for women with severe heroin addiction, it is the best course for many other pregnant women on methadone who wish to keep their babies from being born addicted or suffering methadone caused complications. It seems the state is trying to protect severe addicts from being forced off methadone, but if this is passed it will mean that the rest of the women on methadone who become pregnant will HAVE to have addicted children! NJ is waiting to hear from people on this issue… does anyone have any comments about this? Would anyone like to share or just state their outrage? I’m trying to fight this….
