Is it true that the baby can suffer withdrawals from the meds when he/she is born?

I have been on Lorenin (lorazapam) for years now and when I went to see the doctor, they said to just lessen the dosage and only take them when I need them, which can be difficult, if I'm travelling somewhere I have to take a whole one but usually I am on 1 and a half mg a day, mine are for panic attacks, although with my hormones being as they are they haven't been of much benefit to be honest, I'm also a constant worrier and always see the negative, luckily my partner is a positive person and helps me through most difficult situations, I was worried like you that they wouldn't give me an epidural because of the pills I'm on and I'm still none the wiser. xxx

I came off it cold turkey and mentally I am fine.

I have to see consultant in regards to weight too they said my BMI was 34 I didnt think it was that high I am about 13.7 and 5'3

Oh well more scans I know I will have a whopper baby I think that is the concern with me more than anything.
