did cocaine- update

Question

I had an ultrasound, my baby is doing well, heart rate is 157 and baby is looking good. The OB on call peformed an exam and everything is looking normal and how it should. She said the cramping is normal. Thanks for your prayers everyone who was kind and understanding.

Edit: I didn't mention the cocaine use.

Answer

I'm not trying to scare you but your doctor assured you that cramps were normal because she thought you were just having cramps, if you told her you were cramping after drug use they would have ran more labs and more thorough ultrasounds and specifically targeted the heart. I know you say you regret what you did but you made a bad mom choice by keeping thag from your doctor. You or your baby can not be properly diagnosed. This is coming from someone who is in the medical field so please know I'm not just spouting off bullshit.

Answer

I can't stop thinking about your situation. You need to go back and tell your OB you did cocaine. If you are truly sorry for what you did, you'd tell her. Make a good mom decision and decide you are going to do everything you can to make sure your baby is okay no matter the consequence for you. You made the "mistake" and you have to deal with it. Your OB might have thought your cramps were normal because she didn't know you did what you did. Please do right to your unborn baby and be honest and get checked again. Drug use could change if your stats were good or not.

Answer

I'm sorry but for them to ensure that nothing happens, you need to tell them you did cocaine. Just so they can track baby more, ensure something doesn't happen next visit and they have no idea why.

I assume you're the same person from earlier, who did it at 14 weeks without knowing? I'm sure if you speak to your ob they'll understand. But you do need to tell them

Answer

Did you tell your OB that you did cocaine or did you just go in for a "check-up"? Curious as to how your OB handled it...

Answer

It's your decision, but my suggestion is that you tell your OB at your next appointment. Baby is doing well right now. As long as you're being honest about your drug use here, you did it once and won't be doing it again. Your OB will likely drug test, which you should be able to pass since it was one time weeks ago. And probably notify CPS, and what they will do is "say hi" and talk to you, inspect your home, and drug test you and your baby at the hospital. As long as you and baby are clean, and your home passes inspection, you will be able to keep your baby. They may require parenting classes or whatnot, but as long as you stay clean and don't use again you and baby will be ok. I know it's scary to deal with doctors and CPS, but you really should let your OB know so they can decide if more monitoring is needed. Make good choices, and stay healthy. And maybe stop posting here, it's probably causing you a lot of stress. Good luck.

Answer

Some people can be so judgmental and I am sure you didn't post this to be ridiculed. I didn't see your first post but it sounds like you used before knowing you were pregnant.  Just be honest with your OB. Pretty sure a lot of women drink and don't know they're pregnant-same thing.  By the way I work for CPS and as long as you stop using and your baby doesn't test positive at birth, cps probably won't be notified. Don't hesitate to ask for resources if you need them!
