I just found out today that I'm pregnant...with my fifth child!!!! I'm so excited. I'm overweight so I didn't find out until I was three months. I've had my period all three of those months and was using protection. Well...here's the problem I've done a few drugs recreationally during the past month and was just wonder what are the risks? In my past pregnancies my doctor said it was okay to smoke marijuana but I'm not too sure about other drugs. I know...I shouldn't be doing drugs and I'm not going to anymore. I just need to know what are the risks?

Marijuana mostly...maybe five or six times. I did crystal meth twice, but in the begining if at all.

What I mean by "if at all" is I'm not 100% positive I was pregnant when I did it. I might have been.

Well--what drug/s you did recreationally during your first three months and how many times you did that?
I would defiantly talk to your doctor. Do a search on the web to see ahead of time. I was also told that marijuana doesn't effect your child...it's actually better then smoking cigarettes during a pregnancy.

Just don't do drugs anymore. The baby is probably fine. There is a big ultrasound they do at 20 weeks that can detect some defects (including heart & spine problems). The biggest side effect of drugs though is early birth weight and poor brain development (ultrasound won't show that). Given that you've probably just done marijuana a couple of times, it's pretty safe to say that your baby is ok. It may be some comfort to you to know that I've smoked (conventional cigarettes) and drank wine quite liberally (I was in Italy) for the first month, before I found out I was pregnant. My 3.5-year old son is doing just fine.

Talk to your doctor. drugs, prescription or illegal all have potential side effects, such as causing miscarriage or birth defects in your child. You can't take back what you did, so constant check ups and ultrasounds to check on the health of your baby are best. But you can't prevent anything at this point.
Stop doing drugs so that things don't get worse. For the sake of your current children, stop doing drugs PERMANENTLY

See your doctor( uhhh, get another doc if he says marijuana + pregnancy is okay)..... almost any illegal drugs can damage your fetus' nervous system, being fat is bad for your health, and puts added stress on your heart, and a pregnancy stresses it even more. Between the drugs and your excessive weight, you and your fetus have lessened your chances of a positive outcome in this pregnancy.

a doctor said it was ok to smoke weed....
go to a real doctor, there are all kinds of risks involved, abnormalities, the baby could be dependant on drugs in the womb and be born blind, deaf, anything can happen,
don't gamble with a life, you'll regret it, give the child the healthiest start to life u possibly can. it's only nine months to stay clean, apposed to the childs spending it's entire life in misery.

you need to stop doing drugs unless you wan't your baby to be deformed and have a lot of problems are you crazy? and your doctor is a quack it is not ok to be doing that either and a lot of people say their gonna stop doing drugs but they don't even if they have been to rehab before i know a few people who have been to rehab and got out and was doing drugs again and if you are still doing drugs the rest of your pregnancy they can take your baby away from you when you have it so you better stop now your only putting you and your baby in danger

Talk to your doctor. And be honest. Not really sure what kind of parent would be doing drugs though... you have 4 children... and doing drugs is just irresponsible and illegal. Maybe you need to clean up your act so that your children don't follow in your footsteps.

Doing drugs and drinking alcohol during pregnancy is a complete NO! Think about ur unborn child.

You are a piece of $#!T... and someone should take the kids you already have away from you...
There are so many risks... the biggest being that your kids are being raised by an IDIOT!
What kind of mother are you? You couldn't even give up something like drugs for your precious babies?
I despise mothers like you!
