Can a baby be born drug addicted if the mother took Vicodin (sp?) for surgical removal of an abscessed tooth about 3 days during the last week of her pregnancy? Is it possible???

The hospital is weaning this baby with high powered drugs. Social workers and child protective agency has been called in. Something doesn't seem right here. I can't imagine a baby being given the weaning off meRAB just because a mom took pain pills for a dental surgery supposedly WITH her OB's approval.

Please reply if you have knowledge of this.

Thank you!
 
SounRAB to me like someone is not telling the truth. A baby will NOT have withdrawals cause someone took pain meRAB for 3 days. I took percocet off and on during my last pregnancy (scripted by OB) for the severe stomach pain I was having. And I took it off and on during my whole preganacy, especially in the last few days, and my daughter had absoutly no withdrawals. I would maybe do a hair follical test to see what exactly she was or wasnt taking to cause withdrawals in the infant, but of course you cant force someone to take this test, but tell her that it would help with getting the socail services off her back and pay out of pocket, its a bit spendy but well worth it and get the hair test done as it can go back quite a ways and hair doesnt lie.

But then again, I'm not a doctor, but this is just my personal expereince. Good luck.
