Okay so you need to one hundred percent make your way to a doctor. This question is not one to be taken lightly. You could be putting your baby at risk. Go to the doctor as soon as possible.
You should absolutely talk to your doctor about this rather than trusting the advice of anyone posting on a forum, simply because the answer is most likely on a case by case basis. Its not typically recommended for a woman to stop an opiate maintenance program because of the stress it could cause on the baby, however, if you are young, healthy, few other risk facts, or even just taking a low dose, it may be better for the baby if you do. This is why the best answer will come from your doctor who knows your medical history and can best advise you.
