If the mother never tried crack and the father was addicted can the baby have damage .?

ty for the smile today:) you had said earlier WRONG!!!!!!!!!! i am saying it's a fact and almost impossible for one sperm to affect the egg. you said it's common sense. i am saying there is a difference between common sense and what science proves. don't get upset cause your wrong. the chances of only the father using and affecting the fetus is next to impossible, almost nil. calm down. lmao.

what is WRONG!!!!!!?????????????

please expalin, your post directed at me doesnt make sense

i agree that babies exposed to coke are at a risk, but coming from the fathers side after 9 months in the womb, and not being exposed to the fathers use...they would not be affected

i was just quoting google on the sperm issue.

but no child should have to endure any of it... it is sad that many will

lmao, there is a difference between common sense and what a doctor and science says. the chance of it affecting the baby is almost impossible, did not say impossible, but almost.

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!

When I had my daughter her bio dad was a coke addict the doctor said it was possible but she turned out fine thank god ... I dont know what is the write info I would bet gizzy is right different doctors have different opinions.

Crack and Pregnancy:

increased incidence of still births

increased incidence of miscarriages

premature (often fatal) labor and delivery

in males, the cocaine in crack may attach to the sperm causing damage to the cells of the fetus.

babies exposed to coke experience painful and life threatening withdrawal, are irritable, have poor ability to regulate their own body temperature and blood sugar and are at increased risk of having seizures

i could be wrong, but thisis waht o read when i googled it:

There is less likelihood of effects developing in the sexual partners of male cocaine users as a result of exposure to cocaine in semen. The total content of cocaine and benzoylecgonine in ejaculate did not exceed 0.001 mg in specimens collected 1 h after cocaine administration
