The child will be born with an addiction to methadone. I hope this is not you.

don’t know the side effects but if you suspect anything is wrong with your child go see the pediatrician and talk to them about it.

If you are immature enough to be using drugs, then you shouldn’t even be having this baby. The effects could be very severe and often, with special needs children, it is very costly to give them the extra special care that they need. So, think about that, too.

my baby cousin was born on meth and he was born addicted to it. They said you don’t know the long term affects until they are older, but some of the affects that they can have are learning disabilities, growth problems, social problems and all around health problems. The affect on the mother is the child WILL be taken away. In my cousins case he was taken away for a few months and lived with my aunt then was given back to his biological mother. CPS sucks out here, she should never had gotten him back, she is an unfit mother and doesn’t deserve him.

My God, you people are ignorant! She’s not asking about meth, but methadone! If she was on it while she was pregnant, she was trying to QUIT using drugs for the sake of her baby!

Honestly, I can’t answer your question. I Googled it and the only info I could find was that taking methadone is much safer for mother and baby than using drugs. Maybe there’s a social service in your area you could call to get info if your doctor can’t help you. I’m sure if you call your local welfare office they could give you a number to call. Sorry I can’t help you. Good luck.
