[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 529700, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) I hope it is just a manipulation to try to get ahole to choose her. I am glad she gave him the ultimatum and didn't tell him about the baby first. Even if it is true, having a baby never fixed ANY relationship. I pray that the right outcome is what happens here. If she keeps the baby and continues to use, I would turn her in to the police. I know how hard that sounds, but often the cops will charge a pregnant woman and a judge will be harder on them, even enforce jail time, to try to help get and keep them clean for the baby's sake. A lot depends on the state and the particular cops/judges, but it has happened. I hope that having a baby, if she chooses that, is what she needs to get her act together. if she is pregnant and is not willing to get clean, then you need to try to force rehab or jail time. Recent research strongly suggests that even as single hit of meth can cause long term neurodevelopmental problems in a fetus - low birth weight, cleft palate, and many other serious problems. This research ([url]http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/07/050727063759.htm[/url]) shows that a fetal brain reacts very differently to meth than an adult brain. In the words of the scientist, the fetal brain is 'exquisitely sensitive' at ALL stages of development. I hope that hearing information like that, and knowing that her baby will pay every minute of his life for her drug use, is enough to get her to accept professional help. This might be the time to do a professional intervention. If you choose to do an intervention, please hire a professional to help you. This is NOT something to DIY. The stakes are just too high for an innocent baby. You and she and the baby are in my prayers. [/QUOTE]
