Question: My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for nearly 6 months with no success. We decided to take a break for a few months. On halloween I started my period (I thought was my period), and we went to a party and I took some ecstasy and did some cocaine. I did not think there was any way I was pregnant since I started my period. The next day the bleeding stopped, and the day after I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive. I guess the bleeding could have been implantation bleeding and not my period. We are extremely worried that there could be something wrong with the baby because I used drugs and we don't know what to do. I'm guessing I was 3.5 weeks pregnant the night of the party. A lot of things we've read say not to worry but others say week 3 is vital to development. Any input to the percentages of there being damage done to the baby would be very appreciated. We are not sure whether to move forward with the pregnancy or not but cannot stand the thought of terminating a baby nor risking the quality of life of an innocent child. Thanks!

Can you please elaborate on how baby would be ok even though implantation had already happened and vital organs are beginning to develop in the third week? Wouldn't the baby be ingesting everything I take in by the third week?Im just really concerned that there was damage done during that point of development.

Just wanted to clarify that you do not think that one night of doing large amounts of illicit drugs could interfere with neural tube development, etc. and that you would advise carrying on with pregnancy? Thank you for all of your help and non-judgment.
