Will Methamphetamine Remain And Cause Craving In The Fetus During Pregnancy?

Hello I m 16weeks pregnant. I am a user of meth not everyday but I was using. Since I found out I am pregnant I have stopped. How long will meth stay in my child and will he or she crave for it after birth? PS. Doctor and ultrasound lady said baby is healthy and growing great.

Hello,

You should absolutely stop using methamphetamine in pregnancy.

It gives prenatal malformations and defects in the neurological development of the fetus.

The methamphetamine remains in system 7-10 days after using it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
