ALISON STEWART:

Each year between 2008 and 2012, on average, more than one-quarter of reproductive age women with private insurance — and more than one-third of those enrolled in Medicaid — filled a prescription for opioid painkillers.

In 2014, 4. 8 million women reported nonmedical or illicit use of prescription opioids.

And the number of pregnant women receiving treatment for opioid abuse more than doubled between 2000 and 2012.

April, who lives in Tennessee, is one of those women. She didn't want us to use her last name or show her face to protect her family's privacy.
