hi..meth is a dangerous drug when used in pregnancy. it can cause harmful effects on the baby especially when used in 1st trimester of pregnancy. according to research conducted in 2005 by university of toronto, meth abuse can lead to low birth weight, premature birth, cleft palate, physical and mental disabilities. meth can be detected in meconium(foetal stool).
hope this helped. consult your gynaecologist as early as possible.
