if you are preganant and use meth, you're probably the lowest and sickest person on the planet.........ruin your own life, not a baby's
You obviously don't understand the true nature of addiction and your judgments on this board could possibly kill someone who is seeking help over the emotional pain of having used during pregnancy. ANYONE here is desperately trying to change their behavior to heal shame which is the exact thing that keeps us addicts in self destruct mode.
Know that I do not advertise the use of drugs during pregnancy. Also know that it is a disease of the brain. I am certain that there are only a few rare exceptions of users that don't care about the unborn child. Pray for addicts, don't chastise them...unless of course your saintly life has left no soul unharmed. God is our authority, not you.

I agree. Ridiculous , you must not understand that addicts are robbed of choice. We are powerless over substances and get by as best we can. Those on meph are doing their best to have a new life by using harm reduction, We all have different journeys and there is no right or wrong way to travel the road of recovery.
I adopted a Meth baby a year ago (at birth). Ironic my older daughter is now a Meth addict (was not before).
Babies that have been exposed to Meth are very nervous babies. they need to held all the time...my little angel sleeps on my tummy/ chest all night...even then she is restless...
Baby girl is right on target for all her milestones (even though there has been exposure). She appears to be very bright...I know she will be fine...But then I thought my baby girl who was NOT drug exposed would be fine...I was wrong

I am a mother that used during my pregnancy. This was almost twenty years ago. my son was born very premature and a very low birth weight. Although he was sick because of my stupidity and addiction, he is now a wonderful bright strong man. After his delivery, and after i saw what I did to him.... I quit using from that moment on. I always think of it in the terms that although I gave him life.... he gave me life too. He doesnt know anything about any of this... and I want to keep it that way. for all of you who are addicted or who know someone who is.... keep the faith that at some point in time it will come to an end. It might take jail, institutions or death...a major life change like the unconditional love of an infant.
