Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Will Partner's Drug Abuse Affect Sexual Health And Pregnancy?
Im pregnant and my boyfriend does prescriptions and street drugs. Im worried about him cumming in me because Im worried there may be drugs in his semen and scared it may affect the baby even in the most miniscule way. Should I be worried about him affecting the baby?
That's an excellent question. There would be street drugs present in your partner's semen. It has not been studied whether this would have even the most minuscule effect on your child. It would be best if he would abstain from street drug abuse for 3 months and then try again. Regarding prescription drugs, I would need to know what drugs he is taking. Do not ask him to stop prescription drugs without him first consulting his health care provider.
