found out pregnant at 7 weeks and used cocaine before.

I would like to know if there is any damage i need to worry about with my child. I found out I was pregnant at 7 weeks and had used cocaine prior to knowing i was pregnant. I have not used it since. Will my baby be ok?

I'm no expert but the umbilical cord doesnt develop until week 5, the likelihood  your baby gets any thing you ingest before  that time is low. I mean dont use drugs but one time you should be ok. I would really reconsider what kind of lifestyle  you're living though and consider making changes now that you do know pregnant.

The fetus should be fine.  I would talk to your ob just in case, especially if you have a history of using...( wether out be random or not). The thing with children is that they are first,  if that's not something you are ready to do,  then you may not be ready to be a patent.
