Hi ashla, I sent you an email I hope I have the address right. Is it supposed to be ashlasl@verizon.net? In case it isn't I was wondering if you breastfeed? I also take subutex and am 35 weeks pregnant. I keep getting alot of conflicting information about if I am able to breastfeed. I was hoping to quit taking them before the baby comes. I tapered down to 1 mg. a day, but am having a very hard time quitting completely, even from that small of an amount. I am so happy to hear that your son is healthy and happy. I am constantly worried about the health of my baby. My midwife doesn't know much about subutex and often makes me feel even more guilty than I already do. It's nice to hear about someone who has been through it, and everything is ok. Thanks

hi all i wanted to be able to share about my pregnancy and subutex experience, i was on sixteen mgs and i just gave birth seven days ago, my son was born very healthy, very little withdrawal and did not need medication or did not have to stay in hospital more than one extra day, he was a bit fussy first few days but nothing we couldnt cuddle him through, he is now through withdrawal and very relaxed alert and strong, any woman who would like to talk about this with me feel free to email me ashlaslverizon.net
