How Does Bath Salt/cleaner Affect The Fetus?
I just found out I'm about a month pregnant and I've been using the drug glass cleaner, aka bath salt. I am going to stop immediately, but I would like to know if has already affected my baby? How does bath salts/cleaners affect the fetus? I'm considering an abortion but won't if I know that the baby will be okay?

Hello ma'am and welcome.
Well in such cases I always advise intensive monitoring of the fetal growth and development till 20 weeks of pregnancy and if at all your doctor decides all is well and there seem to be no abnormalities whatso ever, then you can safelt continue with the pregnancy.
I understand this advise is a little hard on you, but it is still better than living with the guilt of 'what if' your child was perfectly normal and you chose to abort it.
My best wishes.
