Using Heroin while pregnant is just as bad as having withdrawal systems while pregnant. The complications are very, very bad. If addicted you need to go in to rehab right now and get help with withdrawal so you and your baby have a fighting chance.. If you want a list of things that can go wrong with the child while using, well that list is endless. Here are a few to give you an idea death, born addicted to heroin, low birth weight, development problems, retardation, all of the "add" disorders, bi-polor, brain defect, lung damage, etc.....
If you or someone you know is addicted and pregnant, PLEASE don't try to deal with it alone, seek help
Heroin can cause your baby to have a learning disability,behavior problems etc. But these are the worse I have seen and anyone that does this shame on them for ruining a childs life before they have even had a chance...the best to you
