Q: should you detox off methadone for pain while pregnant

I am 20 weeks pregnant and have been taking methadone for pain for 7 years. I have gone from 160 mg. down to 70 mg. but recently I've read that even if i'm not feeling withdrawals but the baby could be, and that as the pregnancy progresses the blood volume in my body increases which means the dosage might need to be increased. I also have read that it's easier & safer to control the babies withdrawals outside the womb than inside. Please help!
