Yes. If the mother or father or both took drugs and/or alcohol (even nicotine) before, during &/or after (mother) conception, that increases a baby's chance of ANY, if not many, birth defects! Especially the harder the drugs, the higher the chances of defects, a lifetime of poor cognitive skills & even death.

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.

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.
