Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Any kind of substance abuse is harmful for pregnancy.

Addictive drugs can cause mental retardation or learning disabilities in the baby. In any case it harms mother as well as the unborn baby. SO the best advise is to avoid them.

I will suggest to get counselled with a proper counselor in this regards.And she should adopt proper diet and exercise regime. Also start with IRON, CALCIUM and PROTEIN supplements.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam
