  • Severe bleeding
  • Preterm birth
  • Fetal death
  • Frequent use cause Birth defect, Preterm labour, Small head, Growth retardation, Defects of Genitals, Kidneys and Brain.
  • Babies exposed to cocaine later in pregnancy may be born Cocaine Dependent and suffer from withdrawal symptoms such as tremors, sleeplessness, muscle spasms, and difficulties feeding.
  • Learning difficulties may result as the child gets older.

What if I consumed cocaine before I knew I was pregnant?

There is no conclusive evidence that single dose of cocaine during pregnancy is harmful to the baby. Birth defects and other side effects are usually a result of prolonged use, but because studies are inconclusive, it is best to avoid cocaine altogether. As you know cocaine is a very addictive drug and experimentation often leads to abuse of the drug. This page is under construction.
