women pregnant or nursing babies ought not be using any drugs, prescribed, over-the-counter, or illicit, without the authorization of a close, attending physician. as for the first part, some drugs can stay in the system for only hours to days while others may last months. adipose tissue increases, holding some drugs for somewhat longer periods of time. as for the second part, with regard to effects, well, that really depends on what drugs one might be using. some babies can be born with severe damage, especially to the nervous system, and some babies can be born completely healthy. i recommend that anyone who is pregnant not use OTC, prescribed, or illicit drugs. obtaining close care from a board certified OB-GYN is always a good idea. i'm also fond of lots of vitamins and supplements and perhaps even special diets that your OB-GYN might recommend.
