In many cases, the pregnant woman had been addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, for the sake of their child. Continuing drug use while pregnant isn't just going to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to alcohol or drugs.
