Does every baby on methadone go through withdrawal?

yes, they can be born addicted. every mother and every pregnancy is different. i know of a baby born to a mother that was already using methadone when she became pregnant. the mom had been on methadone for 4 yrs at the time of pregnancy, passing urine screens and following clinic rules. the dose during the pregnancy was 60mg/daily. the first day, the infant showed no withdrawal symptoms. the second day, however, the baby's pediatrician started giving the child methadone. it was a very small dose(0.5 mg twice a day). within 2 months, the baby was off the methadone. the doctor tapered him off it 0.1 mg at a time. thankfully, the child suffered no permanent disabilities and is now thriving.


Can a pregnant woman safely take methadone?

This isn't an easy question to answer. I do know that there are pregnant women who attend the local methadone clinic, however, it can and does cause addiction in the newborn. It all depends if the benefits outweigh the risks. It is important to discuss this with a doctor. I agree that there are pregnant women who attend a methadone clinic and are able to have a healthy baby. I myself know several of them. However, their baby stays in the hospital while they wean it off of the methadone (again, this applies to the women I know that were pregnant on the clinic... not all women who have a baby while on methadone will have to leave their baby at the hospital for weeks at a time for the baby to be withdrawn safely under medical supervision). So, therefore, I would advise anyone who is pregnant to speak to their personal doctor about the risks and benefits of taking methadone while pregnant. I do, however, think that it is better for a pregnant woman to be on methadone instead of a cocktail of drugs that could really endanger (or worse) the unborn child.

Can methadone hurt your baby and cause her to withdraw?

Without running to google, from personal experience I have seen babies effected by methadone. Some of the problems I have seen are low birth weight, slow development mentally and physically(talking, crawling and walking), autism, irritability, acting out, adhd, ect... Many differnt problems could arise from a baby being born addicted to methadone, although if you are on methadone and pregnant, your best bet is to stay on methadone because the withdrawal could kill the baby. Of course this is all specualtion because I have also seen babies that were born healthy. But It must be awful for the baby to have to experience opiate withdrawal as the first thing it ever does in life.
