I think it would depend on what drugs the mother had done while she was pregnant. I also think that any pregnant woman that does drugs, knowing the risk factors, and the harm it could do to her child, should face some sort of huge punishment.

I DONT AGREE WITH THIS .. YES ITS VERY SAD THAT A WOMAN WOULD INTENTIONALLY DO DRUGS WHILE SHE IS PREGNANT.. BUT MAY I REMIND YOU THAT THEY ARE SICK!!!! USING DRUGS IS AN ADDICTION!!!AND SOME PEOPLE NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY WANT TO STOP USING THEY CANT .. DRUGS ARE AWFUL,THEY HARM THE ADDICT AND THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE THEM, BUT THERE IS HELP OUT THERE.. PUNISHING AN ADDICT WILL NOT HELP THEM , THEY NEED TO GO TO REHAB WHERE THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THEIR SHOES,. PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER USED DRUGS AND BECAME AN ADDICT HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT ITS LIKE...

I totally agree with answer #2. And while it DOES depend on the drug used, if they suspect drug use and are very motivated to do so, they can take a look at the cord blood or the placenta I believe, and it would still have traces in it. But they'd have to be specifically looking for that, it wouldn't happen by accident.

Keep the baby away from the drug culture as much as possible, and if it gets a drug addiction, keep working with it to rehabilitate it.

How can drugs affect pregnancy?

It can cause you baby to have deformities and sometimes not even survive. A lot of times though your baby will be addicted to what ever you are using, we call those crack babies.

Will the baby be addicted if the mom did heroin in the first 5 month of her pregnancy?

No, If you havent done it after 4 days then all the withdrawal symptoms will be gone. The first 5 months you did it of course you and baby were both addicted, but if you have stopped since then you will be okay, the baby feels what you feel, so when you are done detoxing so is the baby.

Are mothers less likely to bond with their baby after birth if they used and continued to use during pregnancy?

If you are talking about drugs then quite possibly. There hasn't been a formal study as to the reasons why, but it has been noticed by clinicians and social health workers that mothers who used drugs during pregnancy, or who used drugs after the baby was born, have a much less healthy bond with their baby. One of the major red flags for child abuse/neglect is a parent who is addicted to drugs.


If you did drugs within the first three months of pregnancy but then stopped will it still show up in the baby when she is born?

It may. During the first three months, the baby does a ton of important development. It may depend on how much you used the drugs and other factors as to how much it will affect the baby. I would advice you to NEVER use drugs other than what a doctor prescribes during pregnancy. You never know what it could do to the child and it would unfortunately be your responsibility if something did happen to the baby while you were on drugs. If something does happen to the baby, I know it will be hard. Try to get counselling and definitely refrain from using drugs with any other pregnancies( well, try not to do drugs at all). It isn't good for you or the baby. It also isn't good to raise kids around drugs.

How will a baby come out when the mom does drugs?

When a mom does drugs and doesn't take care of her baby, he or she will be born sick. Sometimes he or she will not even be finished being born but doctors have to take them out like that. If you mean in terms of deformities or outcome, it varies with the drugs taken during pregnancy. Certain drugs can cause deformities in the offspring. When alcohol and certain other drugs are taken, the resulting child may end up with learning disorders. Some babies are born addicted to drugs, and the doctors have to treat them with medications similar enough to what was taken by the mother to reduce the withdrawal symptoms, and then wean the baby off of the drugs.
