How Long Do Drugs Stay In The Blood Of Unborn Babies?

There is no concrete scientific research to determine how long illegal and abusive substances stay in the system of an unborn baby.

I would advise you not to take any form of illegal drug whilst you are pregnant, as you could significantly hinder the life of your unborn child.

There are numerous scientific studies which all conclude that taking illegal drugs during pregnancy is extremely harmful to the baby, stalls development and could lead to serious health concerns.

Women who take abusive substances during pregnancy are unfit mothers, and luckily drug testing has been introduced into many American delivery units.

If abusive drugs are found in the babies system then you will be punished severely, and rightly so.
