[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were taking Oxycontin or Vicodin for migraines during your pregnancy, there was a very good reason for them to call CPS.[/quote]

No, there really was not. She was taking them AS PRESCRIBED, with the doctors who prescribed them in the hospital, and the baby was born without any signs of withdrawal.

I agree with the PP who suggested a birth center.  I wonder if part of the issue is hospital adminsitration, where the nurses are employees, but the doctors are contractors, so there's a lack of coordination and agreement.  [/quote]
Your body doesn’t know you have a prescription. Babies suffer withdrawal symptoms whether or not your opioid has a doctor’s note. She may have needed a narcotic for her migraines, but the CPS call makes sense.[/quote]

If you come in and say “I took this prescribed medication, as prescribed,” with the history described here in the EMR, correctly accounting for what is found in a drug test, and cooperating fully in treating any symptoms the infant has (and here there seem to have been none), what exactly is the reason it makes sense to call CPS?[/quote]
