Re: drug mum
I feel sorry for drug addicts, because instead of being given the help they need they are shunned by society. Women give birth, that is life. Stopping drugs during pregnancy can't really be compared to things like smoking and drinking, yet those things get much more help and attention than things like heroin.
Don't babies get hooked on morphine too if you are weaning the mother off heroin anyway? Have you seen anyone ever go cold turkey from heroin? They get really sickly and cant control their bowels. I saw a man in court once have an 'accident' and throw up during his trial because he had obviously had no drugs in his cell or whatever. Would think that it would be damaging to a baby just as much if the mother just came straight off heroin?
Just a thought anyway. Obviously she shouldnt have got pregnant in that state but these things happen
