It is really an unfortunate truth that even expectant mothers have trouble with substance abuse. Sometimes, the expectant mother is already hooked on alcohol or drugs when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they tried, in the best interests of their child. Continuing substance abuse while pregnant isn't just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but can also significantly increases instances of miscarriage and babies born dependent to drugs or alcohol.
