Is It Safe To Conceive While On Crystal Meth?

I have only been using crystal meth for a couple months now and just found out today, that I am pregnant. I believe I am in the very early weeks of the pregnancy, but I want to make sure that there will not be any harm to the baby when he/she is born. Nor do I want the baby to test positive for anything and have the chance of the baby being take from me. So I guess my question is- if I quit now will the baby be healthy and clean when it is born?

hi..there is some chances that your child may have some lip ,palate or brain defect. if you want to continue your pregnancy you must quit taking crystal meth. i would suggest that you must visit gynaecologist and undergo investigations like USG abdomen. there may be some other tests which could be required. you shold take them.
