It is really an unfortunate fact that even expectant mothers battle with substance abuse. In many cases, the expectant mother had been hooked on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they attempted to do so, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy is not just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but could also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to alcohol or drugs. No one wants to see their newborn under-going drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their infant taken away from them because they couldn't quit.
