I Am Almost 35 Weeks Pregnant And Have Been Prescribed,

I am almost 35 weeks pregnant and have been prescribed, throughout my pregnancy, vicodin and oxycodone to help with back and hip pain. However, I'd like to stop taking the medicine all together to help my baby be born not addicted. Since i roughly have 5 weeks left, how long does the opioids stay in my system as well as my unborn childs?
