Is it dangerous to take Ecstacy when in early pregnancy?

Question

I'm not pregnant, but just asking to make sure just in case I was. Supposed to get my period in 3 days though, so I'm fine. Just checking.

Answer 1

As I searched through your other questions, I came across a question you asked a couple of weeks ago about using Ecstasy. I am sorry you have used the drug at all! If we all could understand and know what any drug does to us in the long run, we would never have taken it in the first place.

Ecstasy is an extremely horrible drug, the decieves each and every person that takes it, because it makes them feel so good! That is only the short term effects of ecstasy...

Ecstasy allows the continuous release of seratonin in your brain. There are neurotransmitters in your brain that are released into the synapse (space between two neurons) that will stop the release of a certain neurotransmitter... Ecstasy stops this neutrotransmitter from being released, causing seratonin to keep being released.

It causes depletion of dopamine levels, which in the future can cause Parkinson's disease like symptoms, for example: shaking hands, loss of communication...

When people have been subject to brain scans after ecstasy use, it has been found that there are litterally holes in the brain! So in turn ecstasy turns your brain into swiss cheese!

It can cause hypothermia, where your body overheats, causing strain on your heart! There has been deaths from ecstasy use, where the ecstasy caused the person to overheat!

Not only are these side affects horrible, what if they were cut with other drugs... which darling most drugs are! They can be cut with heroin, acid, coke.... no ecstasy pill out there is strictly MDMA!

Now lets talk about doing this while having a child inside of you! You might have taken it without knowing, which is an honest mistake, but if you know you are pregnant or think you are pregnant, PLEASE don't use ecstasy or any type of drug prescription or not! ecstasy isn't worth your future or your baby's future! And you wouldn't have asked this question unless you thought you might be pregnant! so don't say you are fine yet! but if you are pregnant be honest with the doctors... and tell them you might have used ecstasy while being pregnant! they don't judge you they just help you.... good luck and remember...
ECSTASY is is horrible drug!

Answer 2

I suppose taking an E pill would get the baby hyper and then it will start kicking inside you. Taking into account its size (since are talking early pregnancy), the effect of E on the baby could last for days or weeks or months even!

Therefore the baby will be kicking the inside of your belly very hard for very long time and this could possibly damage both of you. Therefore I wouldn't advise u to try it ;)

Answer 3

I am not here to make you feel better about your lifestyle. If you're trying to get pregnant, get clean first! If you're not trying to get pregnant, use adequate birth control! Don't put yourself in a position where you need to ask these questions.

What are the risks with use of Ecstasy and other amphetamines during pregnancy?

The use of Ecstasy has increased dramatically in recent years. To date there have been few studies on how the drug may affect pregnancy. One small study did find a possible increase in congenital heart defects and, in females only, of a skeletal defect called clubfoot. Babies exposed to Ecstasy before birth also may face some of the same risks as babies exposed to other types of amphetamines.

Another commonly abused amphetamine is methylamphetamine, also known as speed, ice, crank and crystal meth. Some, but not all, studies suggest that this drug may cause an increased risk of birth defects, including cleft palate, and heart and limb defects. It also appears to contribute to pregnancy complications including maternal high blood pressure which can slow fetal growth and cause other complications for mother and baby), premature delivery, and excessive bleeding in the mother following delivery.

After birth, babies who were exposed to amphetamines appear to undergo withdrawal-like symptoms, including jitteriness, drowsiness and breathing problems.

Answer 4

It is dangerous to take Tylenol in early pregnancy, you should not take any kind of drugs over the counter or illegal while pregnant, especially in the first 3 months, this is when babies can and will develop birth defects if you take anything like that.

Answer 5

ANY DRUGS DURING PREGNANCY ARE DANGEROUS. And unfortunately...the most crucial development takes place during the first trimester...so yes..if you think you are in any way at risk to become pregnant... lay off the dope. Any just because your period in "3 days" does NOT mean you're "fine"...try not to be an idiot...Stop doing drugs OR stop having sex OR be more careful while having sex....it's not that hard to use your brain.

Answer 6

It is never safe!
Here are just some of the side effects possible:

Heatstroke (also known as hyperthermia)
Nausea
Muscle tension
Blurred vision
Faintness
Chills
Sweating
Teeth clenching
Day-after depression

Answer 7

Ecstacy causes lots of very bad things chica. For example, tardive dyskinesia, which is a fancy term that basically means you develop a facial tic that disfigures you....that's attractive, lol.

Oh yeah, and it can kill both you and your baby. Or maybe just give you a baby that's mentally retarded similar to a crack baby.

Oh, you thought E was safe? Who told you that? Oh, your dealer.....I'm sure you can trust him.

Retard.

Answer 8

The first three months are the most influential for your growing fetus. If your pregnant, taking x isnt the best thing to be doing. You could be putting your baby at serious risk for mental retardation, miscarriage, and alot of other harmful things. Find out if your pregnant asap. If you are, stop using and if you arent, stop using. Trust me, I know.

Answer 9

It is stupid to use Ecstasy anytime much less when you're pregnant. Whatever you put in your body will effect your unborn child one way or the other. People like you turn my stomach. If your old enough to have sex, your old enough to take the responsiblity of knowing what you need to do and drugs are not it.

Answer 10

Yes it is. Recent studies has suggested that pregnant women who take ecstasy may be at greater risk of having babies with birth defects such as congenital heart disease and other abnormalities.

Don't use any drugs whilst pregnant. You are playing dice with your unborn child's life.
