[|Human|] I am 29 and have just learned I am 5/6 weeks pregnant. Had a miscarriage once befocre. I started using mkat mephedrone ha year ago I became an addict. During the above said 5 weeks I did on average 1graml per day. I smoke but hardly touch alcohol. I also never took vitamins during this time. Since I ve learned of the pregnancy I started taking essential vits and consultant my gp. Told him about my drug abuse and he prescribed meds to help me cope with withdrawals as giving this drug is he most difficult addiction to quit. But for my unborn baby and me I will and want to. I ve read all there is about the substance which due to its new abuse there is not a lot known. I had to explain the use name etc to my Dr. I m waiting for an outcome to establish if the Pediatrician and Gynie recommend abortion. I can t. I was selfish but didn t know. And doing my all to be responsible for my baby now. Has babies been born with similar events and if any was there any abnormalities or effects besides early labour and miscarriage. The fetus survived this long and must be strong so he she is Gods will else I would have lost this baby aswell. I would never forgive myself if I have to abort due to my stupid selfish ways. I need help please. Before I do the wrong thing. And here in my country SA seems the Dr are ill educated in this drug so suggesting abortion I assume to them will just be practical. I knhow at this early stage I can t have scans etc to determine any damage done. I am so so scared, ashamed and desperate. Please help. Thank you
[|AI|]  Hello, I have gone through your query and understood the concern. As the Chat Doctor.  So, you have to keep fingers crossed until you can be reasonably confident about the fetal well-being. The earliest test that can be done to assess genetic malformations is to assess the fetal DNA. This can be done early enough in the first trimester. Later on, there are the chorionic villus sampling, amniocentesis, fetal anomalies scan (TIFF), etc. Please take a second opinion from your doctors and pray for the best meanwhile. Take care.
