Drugs, pregnancy: Your baby may be fine, but please, stop all the drugs and alcohol, no smoking and take care of yourself to give your baby a great chance at being born healthy and to improve your health so you can have a safe delivery.

Not likely: Alcohol and cocaine abuse during early pregnancy can cause at the very least fetal growth restriction with developmental abnormalities and worse miscarriage. there are termination options available to you at this stage if there is the inability to continue a potential abnormal pregnancy. Most importantly, help to you is needed for Addiction Issues by calling NA or AA in your local phone book.

Extreme Risk: Unfortunately, I cannot discuss this without first saying that engaging in that behavior while you are carrying a baby is extremely irresponsible because there is an extremely high chance that you can seriously harm your baby with both alcohol and especially any cocaine use whatsoever. At this stage you are at risk for miscarriage, small head, decreased length, and tear of your placenta. STOP ASAP
