i know drugs like meth can be transferred at conception but what about if baby is 19 weeks along? Could it potentially harm my baby? Or is not effected by it?

Percocet (aka) oxycodone is actually class B and is the ONLY pain meds that have not show and birth defects...while every other single one has...isnt that weird?? Even hydrocodone and codine which arent as strong are class C and have shown to be harmful...bizzare!!

They might be in the same class, but there is a huge difference between a percription drug and an illegal drug.  No illegal drug should be used near a child, in or out of the womb.

I believe meth's a class c so its unknown if theres any harm to the fetus. My husband takes antidepressants & percocet which are class c& my Dr told me to use protection. I'm not sure how percocet & Meth differ. Check w/ your Dr to be on the safe side.

Yes.... the baby should be fine as long as you did not use.  Although i would suggest your talking to you bf because he shouldn't be using drugs around you and your baby.  Meth is a very addicting drug and babies cost lots of money to take care of, I just don't want to see money that should go to the well being of you and your baby go towards drugs.

Yes, meth is harmful to a baby at any point during a pregnamcy. It can cause birth defects, developmental delays, neurological problems, etc. you wont know how a.child is affected or to what extent until after the child is born.
