Very bad for baby: There are significant health risks to babies born to meth-using moms. They are more likely to be premature and to have issues with breathing and feeding. They also can have long term issues with behavior and sensory integration. Please get help for this fetus' mother asap. http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/03/19/148916627/kids-exposed-to-meth-in-womb-can-struggle-with-behavior-problems.
