Continuing substance abuse when pregnant is not only going to result in a risky pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases instances of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. No one wants to see their newborn going through drug or alcohol withdrawal because they didn't stop their substance abuse during their pregnancy.
