It happens to many people. Don't worry, your baby will be fine. just don't do it anymore.
yes it should be fine just don't worry
As long as you stay off of the weed and alcohol now, your baby should be okay. It is usually in the last trimester that drugs and alcohol affect a baby worse than it does at the beginning of pregnancy. My aunt was 4 months pregnant, still having her periods, when she found out she was pregnant with my cousin; she drank, but my cousin is a strapping 23-year-old young man now. Too, I have been present at the birth of a child who reeked of marijuana because her mother smoked it throughout her pregnancy; that child has learning problems, but the doctor said a majority of the problems developed in the last trimester.
Follow the plan your doctor gives you. Later on there are tests to be done that can determine any blood disorder or physical limitations. It is normal for first time moms to be apprehensive about their baby. Either way, you will love that baby unconditionally once you have it in your arms.
Good luck.
I wouldn't worry, I did weed and speed when I was pregnant with my child, she turned out fine, she is really opinionated. I had a roomate that was a drug addict and I let her talk me into taking these drugs and then things started missing in my apartment, like money and she started staging robberys, so her and her daughter had to go.
I'm sure your dr is right. Of course it wasn't ideal, but you have made some good decisions since finding out and you're on the right track now.
You must realize there are a lot of moms who drink all the way through and do drugs all the way through the pregnancy and their babies live - of course there is a lot of damage, but babies are fighters generally!
Learn from your mistakes, take care of yourself now - don't go back to drinking and drugs after you have this child either. You're going to be a mom - focus on your health and the health of your child. You'll both probably be just fine! You're brave and I'm proud of you for not being afraid to tell the dr the truth about what you had done. That was the best thing you could do for your baby!
Best Wishes!
