drugs and alcohol

Please no criticism. Has anyone else had bad habits before finding out they were pregnant or deciding they were going to keep their baby/babies? And for those who gave birth, how are your babies now?

Drinking. But I was only a month when I found out. I remember the day before I took the test I was out drinking and smoking cigarette before that. As soon as I found out I stopped tho. I mean you always risk your baby weather it's healthy. Me personally wouldn't risk it. It's better to talk to your doctor about it. Good luck :)

If your asking if its ok to continue your bad habits while being pregnant the answer of course is NO. drinking throughout pregnancy will cause fetal alcohol syndrome! Drugs cause nothing but problems to. This is common sense not critism. Its never ok to get your baby high or drunk.

I used to do meth before i got pregnant with my 1st child, out of boredom! I was always the girl who chased the boys, one night i was on my way to buy a new pipe when i saw the most gorgeous, tall and sweaty man i have ever seen, he jas jogging =(, (sweating is the worst enemy of a meth smoker) so i started jogging and he made conversation, thats the night i decided to stop, i married the handsome sweaty guy, and we had a child about 2 years later, a healthy girl, its q little off topic but we were talking about the night we met today
