Remember, the fetus is still developing in the womb. What it experiences there it "perceives" as being normal, so if there are drugs in the woman's body, the baby will be born with its brain "wired" to believe that having the effects of a drug is normal. When the drug is not given to the baby after it is born, its brain has to re-adjust to not having the drug thus it will experience withdrawal symptoms. As long as you have drugs in your system, the baby will have drugs in his or her system, both while in the womb and after birth (except after birth, of course, the baby is no longer receiving the drugs you abuse - but it will remain there just as long as it would remain in your system).
The baby will be born addicted. Not a very nice thing to have to contend with as soon as it is born apart from coping with life outside of the womb. This is why heroin addicted babies have an extremely difficult time and have a very high pitched, keening cry. The hospital staff can tell whether the baby is addicted to drugs upon its birth within minutes of delivery. These cases must be reported to CPS (Child Protective Services) and other involved officials (such as police) immediately by the staff according to hospital policy. This means, you have a high risk of losing your baby to CPS before you even have a chance to meet and really get to know your baby. Sometimes, though, CPS will only require the mother to attend various substance abuse programs (such as rehabilitation and/or NA meetings) in order to be allowed to retain custody of the new baby. It will really depend upon the type of drug found in the baby's and mother's systems.
Keep in mind, though, how much it sucks for you when you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms and how sick you get during that time. Do you really want your new baby to have to experience that kind of illness after birth, especially since the baby didn't have the option to choose whether or not he or she wanted to even partake in the use of those drugs?

∙ 14y agoFor things ive learned, recently in school, the chemicals will stay as long as they do in the mother, but the baby can be effected more dramatically and chances are, that the baby will be born with disorders/birth defects and that the drug might last a bit longer in certain occastions.

No, alcohol and hard drugs (such as cocaine or heroin) produce different effects on the body and brain.

Alcohol, when consumed in moderation, can have certain health benefits, but excessive and long-term use can still be harmful.
