What Are The Risks Of Methamphetamine Abuse During Pregnancy?

I would like the doctor that answers my question to be open and honest when he/she answers. I want to know everything I need to know, good and bad. Please? I hope there s something that can be done. I am 8months pregnant right now and when I was in my first trimester I was using, injecting meth, I didn t know I was pregnant at the time. After I did the test and confirmed that I was, I went through a sever stage of depression and continued to injection meth. I got arrested and did 40days in jail. At that time I was about 3-4months. After I got out I was clean for almost 2weeks and started injecting meth again. (No other drugs just meth) I was about 6months when I started again. I don t do no more than 10-15 units and I d get high 7-10x a day. Now I m due next month around Sept 4th, haven t been to doctor since the end on March because I have a felony probation warrant and don t want to go to jail. (Nobody likes going to jail) I m scared that if I do go to a local clinic and they take a urine sample and see that I have meth in my system their going to turn me in and call cps. I ve been going through so much chaos the past few months that would crush anyone s spirit. I was told that when the child is born and they find out I haven t been to the doctors and testing positive for meth, can be charged with child endangerment and get prison time. Please tell me there s something I can do? Will the meth in my system clear out if I quit now? How long does it take for meth to get out if your system being 8months pregnant?

if you quit right now it will definetly clear out of your body till delivery time. you really need to have a strong will power. m sure there must be a lot chaos in your life but your child don't deserve to pay for it for his entire life with disabilities. so pls quit it right now for the sake of your unborn baby.
i suggest to start some meditation and take healthy diet including fruit juices daily to get fresh mental and physical energy. you can do it dear...just a couple of months more. you can ask this web owners about my contact details and i am always there to guide you further about urs and ur childs health. good luck
