Since each pregnancy is different and each woman's body is different, there is no way to know right now whether the baby is affected. Meth use in pregnancy if it continues can result in premature birth, low birth weight and other problems. Definitely quit now, and seek a level 2 ultrasound at 20 weeks to see if the baby has any problems. Be prepared for Meth Withdrawal symptoms 8-10 days.
