A member asked:

Pain killers and meth and pregnancy.. my friend stopped at 5 months pregnant is that still going to cause problems?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes, most likely.: Meth, is a drug that is toxic to the heart, kidneys, brain, and spinal cord. And the baby is developing these. Infants born can have low tolerance for touch, light, noise. And they can have learning, and behavioral problems that can last long term...

Meth: Do not be surprised if the baby will exhibit abnormalities. Damage may have already been done.
