What Are The Adverse Effects Of Drug Abuse During Pregnancy?
I am 36 yrs old and just found out today that I m pregnant (6 days past my missed period-28day cycles). I drink rather heavily and smoke meth almost daily. Now that I know im pregnant im stopping. I would like to know how harmful my drug/alcohol use has been to my baby these last 2 weeks. I have been talking prenatal pills once or twice a week for the last 2 months( for the benefits I ve read they have on women s hair/nails)- and im hoping that may have helped the baby as well now.

Hi,
Drug abuse can affect the fetus, so please stop it immediately & get a sonography done for the fetus, don't take painkillers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
