How Can Smoking Crystal Meth Until The Second Trimester Of Pregnancy Effect The Foetus?
I am 19 weeks pregnant and up until 2 weeks ago, I was smoking crystal meth about 3 times a week. I stopped using completely due to the fact that I would throw up immediately after taking a hit. I am not experiencing any withdrawals nor do I have the desire to use. Is my baby going to okay or has the damage already been done?
It is very dangerous to use crystal meth during the first trimester of pregnancy. Behavior side effects and brain damages and neurological problems could arise.
It is great that you stopped using crystal meth and won't use it even when you breastfeed your child (if possible).
The first trimester is the time where the organs of the baby are in developmental stage and very vulnerable to "external" toxins as crystal meth.
I hope your baby will be ok as he/she is innocent! Dr.Alba
