I am wanting to bump this up. One friend had her baby prematurely, and he is still in the hospital and going through withdrawls. The friend that I am really worried about is still taking them and sees nothing wrong with getting tham from OP's that she had failed to mention the fact that she is pregnant. Her OB told her that while he doesn't recommend them, their have been pregnant women who are prescribed to take them. Well, she has taken this as free reign to take them daily, at least 5 a day. She didn't tell him that the Dr. is an OP who doesn't know ahe is pregnant, nor that she is not taking them for a medical condition. She takes them simply to take them and to avoid withdrawls. I have talked to her on this subject, but she seems to think it is not going to hurt her or the baby.
