Question by i need help: my cousin is 8 1/2 mths pregnant &starting using crack cocaine 3wks ago, will this have an effect on the baby?
she has been in jail for the whole time of her pregnancy until now & i’ve been working w/ a social worker in reference to caring for the child, but i’m concerned about the short &long term effect that her drug use will have & should i still take the resposibility to care for the child?

report her. it can seriously harm the baby and cause it to be born addicted. it would be better for her to stay in jail until she has the baby.
