Please no judgement here. I am a recovering addict and i have some concerns. the whole first trimester of my pregnancy I was bad on meth, for half of the time i didnt know i was pregnant, the other half i didnt quite accept it yet. My 2nd trimester i was better about it. however i had multiple relapses, but... looking back on all those bad and careless decisions, im worried about how my baby is gonna come out, i love him to death already and i hate myself so much for what i was doing to him....can anyone educate me please? My main concern, while all of it is of equal concern to me, is mental issues. I will love him no matter what and take care of him no matter what, but seeing as this is my first child as well i hope he doesnt have any retardation or any illness where i willl have to raise him for all of his life.....like i said il love him, but hate myself even more. Anyways, any light on this subject would be appreciated. i hope this is the right category, im new here.
