Amphetamines are considered unsafe to use in pregnancy and while there is limited medical evidence of the consequences of using amphetamine type stimulant drugs during pregnancy, the following effects have been described:

  • Reduced blood flow caused by narrowing of the blood vessels 2,limiting oxygen and nutrient supply to your unborn baby and resulting in reduced growth and head circumference.
  • Antepartum bleeding conditions.
  • Behaviour and learning difficulties in children who were exposed in utero.
  • Other medical evidence suggests the drugs may cause pregnancy complications including miscarriage and early labour; an increased risk of fetal abnormalities (i.e. heart abnormalities); altered fetal nervous system as the drug acts as a stressor to baby and alteration of (baby) brain structure and development.
