I hope she stopped as soon as she found out. The baby can be addicted. It could have low birth weight. She needs to tell her doctor. They will keep watch of any problems. She might be asked to go to rehab but she won’t go to jail for telling her Dr.

For pregnant women, there is a big risk that their baby will have low birth weight when delivered. There is also a chance for miscarriage. Detoxification and methadone treatments are also available for pregnant women, but the baby will most likely experience withdrawal symptoms afterwards. It’s advisable that your friend undergo treatment right away. Consult a doctor so your friend’s situation can be fully and properly assessed. After the delivery of the baby, the baby will have to be monitored as well.
