Sometimes, the pregnant woman was already dependent on drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and merely couldn't stop using no matter how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse during pregnancy is not just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but sometimes also drastically increases rates of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol.
