Ive seen reports where they say that SUB isnt very good on pregnancy, they consider methadone to be better. But really prefer neither. I hope someone can help you!

This info is from one of the on-line US buprenorphine training sites.  It is a short summary on the use of Buprenorphine in pregnancy: 

"There is limited research on the effects of buprenorphine during pregnancy. Preliminary results suggest that buprenorphine may be safe to use during pregnancy: neonates born to mothers maintained on buprenorphine appear to develop normally (Fischer et al., 2000). A 2004 randomized controlled study also found that transitioning women from short-acting opioids to buprenorphine can be done safely and with minimal withdrawal discomfort (Jones et al., 2005). However, this cannot be generalized to women in all stages of pregnancy or to women who conceive during buprenorphine maintenance. For now, it is recommended that pregnant patients take buprenorphine only if "the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus" (FDA, 2002).

Therefore, the safest policy is as follows:

• Methadone is appropriate for women who become pregnant while dependent on opioids -- and who both want and are good candidates for opioid agonist treatment. Methadone maintenance treatment is the treatment of choice for pregnant women with opioid dependence. Methadone has been shown to be effective in treating the mother's opioid use disorder and safe for both mother and fetus (SAMHSA, 1995b).

• Buprenorphine should be considered a second-line drug, and is most appropriate for pregnant patients for whom methadone is not an option -- whether due to methadone being unavailable, unwillingness to enter methadone maintenance treatment, or medical inability to take methadone."
