      Three mo.. before getting preg is the best thing for the baby total developement... If you have been using there let your dr know... they will not judge you. If your system is clean now your baby has a chance of being born clean...

        Also applies to alcohol. Foetal alcohol syndrome is a major health problem.

          Should have said don't smoke either.
          Bringing new humans into the world is s serious business and If parents are not prepared to put their own lives in order they should not *uck up the next generation.

            Corn, BE DRUG FREE as of tomorrow and pray that your baby that you're having in 2 months is fine. Drugs screw up full grown adults. Infants can't handle them.

            You're asking for advice...now do the mature thing and listen to all of us and think of your child first.
