in Babies born to meth addicted mothers on Some Chick's Blog
I have a frien whose daughter is 5 pregnant and she thinks she is on meth and oxcodone. She is asking for advice, but I don't know what to say. Her daughter is 21 and living with a guy who is using meth and oxycodone. Any suggestions?

I assume that your friend has talked to her daughter and explained to her the harm she is doing to her unborn baby by using drugs. Often times, trying to rationalize with an addict is practically impossible. If she truly suspects that the two of them are using then she should call child protective services and explain the scenario to them - she can request to remain anonymous as well.
Are there other children in the home?
If her daughter gives birth to the baby and it tests positive then at a minimum they will remove the baby from her and probably try and place him/her with a relative until the mother cleans up her act.
There is a life at stake right now and there is really no time to try and talk it out with the mother of the unborn child.
Your friend is more than welcome to come here and ask questions as well - I am more than happy to try to point anyone in the right direction.
Thank you for caring.
