?? Fetus development/substance abuse

DDD

Well-Known Member
A young woman who smokes pot and ?? to self medicate for bipolar
has just shared with easy child/difficult child that she is pregnant. She is a hard
working, undereducated girl who is street knowledgeable but lacks
sophistication. If anyone knows of a site that demonstrates how
the fetus develops at different weeks AND how pot ++ has been
proven to impact development...I want to try to give a printout
to easy child/difficult child to in turn give to his friend. She does intend to keep
the baby. DDD

PS: I don't want a site that will trigger pro life responses. I
don't want any site responses. LOL!

Thanks, Melissa. I'm hoping to have like a chart that shows
x week = limbs develop
y week = sight

I took Child Development at the local college about eight years
ago (when I thought I might finally work on finishing my degree)
and even after all my years of parenting I was fascinated by how
science can identify each stage. Maybe that type of info in combination with the effects of drugs will impact this future
Mom.

by the way, I was impressed that easy child/difficult child told me that he suggested she
give the baby up for adoption so "it would have the best chance"
for a good life. DDD

I'm dating myself, but you could pick up a copy of "What to Expect When You're Expecting", but as I remember it won't give the drug impact information.

Most Prolife Pregnancy Centers carry handouts with that kind of information. You can usually walk in and ask for written information regarding fetal development and pregnancy & drug exposure for a friend or family member.....I can get you some if you if you don't find what your looking for.

Good Luck !!
