A member asked:

I am a former meth user and i want to have a baby. how long before i am healthy enough to do so ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Meth and pregnancy: I would discuss this with your gyn. Each case is different and there is only 1 person who can evaluate your physical and psychological readiness for motherhood, and that is your own gyn. Best wishes for a sober mom and a healthy baby.
