It is an unfortunate truth that even mothers-to-be battle with drug abuse. Quite often, the expectant mother is addicted to drugs or alcohol when they became pregnant and couldn't stop using regardless of how hard they attempted to do so, in the interest of their child. Continuing substance abuse when pregnant isn't just likely to result in a dangerous pregnancy, but sometimes also significantly increases rates of miscarriage and infants born dependent to drugs or alcohol. Nobody wants to see their newborn dealing with alcohol or drug withdrawal because they didn't put an end to their drug abuse in their pregnancy. And nobody wants to get their child taken away from them simply because they couldn't quit.
