Open and honest: Thank you for being open and honest about your substance abuse problem. The first step is to inform the doctor taking care of you. They can then monitor the baby with ultrasound to help confirm that the baby is safe. They can work with you to get you into a program to help prevent a relapse. Do not try to hide this or do it on your own. Protect the baby and yourself. Reach out for help.
