It's an unfortunate fact that even mothers-to-be battle with drug abuse. Often times, the expectant mother is hooked on drugs or alcohol whenever they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, for the sake of their baby. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't just likely to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn experiencing drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse throughout their pregnancy. And nobody wants to have their child taken away from them because they couldn't quit. Programs for expectant mothers can offer woman real solutions in order to have a healthy pregnancy and eventually a healthy child when it's born.
