I was just wondering about the effects on a unborn child if the FATHER was/is an addict???
I wanted to know what, if any side effects a child could have if he used. I'm clean and have never used before, and never would!!! Also, this may be a stupid question but does it have any effects on me??? We have had unprotected sex and i want to know if anything can be passed through his semen into me???
Nothing can be passed to you unless he was a needle user and got something from that. But as far as the baby, that's a very good question. I would consult your physcian as soon as possible on this matter.
The question really is do you want a meth user to be the father of your child? Beside normal diseases, that he may incur, or yourself you should not pass along anything unless either of you had it when you got pregnant. Sorry, and this is just my opinion, but would not trust a meth user and I would insist, now, on protected sex, now that you are pregnant. I hope now that you are pregnant you will think of your baby first and your future.....

THANK you C. momma, kinda makes me crazy when I hear stuff like this, in my world, a mother's first job is to protect her baby, from conception, nothing else, especially a loser man should stay in the way of a happy baby, and from then on your only job is to live, care and protect your for the baby at least for 18 years. You are the only one responsible...... My mom told me this at 16, she passed soon after... but it was the best advice ever! And I wish I could thank her for it, cause I raised my kids basically myself and we did OK,.... survived... but it was these words that motivited me not to depend on anyone but myself....

I know exactly what you mean, my mother was addicted to meth, and I tell you she was the worst influence in my life. My father passed when I was 15, I wish I had more time with him, but he was the best influence in my life, and taught me almost everything I needed to know to be a decent human being. I hate to generalize and stereo-type people, but meth addicts (I call them tweakers), are the biggest scum on the face of the earth. They are wastes of space, and I wish meth killed people instantly. Sorry so harsh. I do, however, applaud people that move on from addictions and become functioning people in society. I fear for your child if this is the kind of people you choose to surround yourself with. I hope you can make better choices in the future, especially regarding your child.
C:momma, so can relate to you, I know I'm older then you but I had good old parents, basically Ozzie and Harriet, and where I was brought up you could get anything you wanted, had other ideas, that kept me from that world, of at least addiction, but unfortunately when I moved to keep my kids from the world of, it didn't matter, drugs are everywhere, I was that dumb, you can move, but the only thing that changes is theaccents....My daughter is being ate alive by meth,all I can do is stand by and watch, My ex boyfriend also fooled me for along time, it's a really sad state but there's nothing the normal person can do, it's so bad , all I do now is pray...... I did everything for along time I had to leave him, and now I just pray for her....

That's all you can do (if you are religious), I just stay away from anyone involved with it any way.
