A member asked:
My neice is five weeks pregnant she plans to smoke meth up until the last month of her pregnancy. what happens to the baby after that and will it show up in the baby's system? and how bad? what will happen next?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad things: Meth will show up in the baby's stool/meconium. If tested and confirmed she may lose custody of the baby who will likely be born addicted to meth. It would be prudent for the niece to seek care to get off meth as soon as possible, if not sooner.
