Brief Answer:
Single shot don't harm.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Single shot don't harm to the baby but Smoking meth repeatedly can lead to increased tolerance, physical and psychological dependence, and addiction. Repeated exposure to this harmful substance can create severe changes in brain structure and functioning as well, which may chronically impact cognition and emotions.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
