Cocaine addiction and pregnancy
Cocaine is the second largest
illicit drug often associated with alcohol and tobacco in 4% of pregnant women.
They have used it in the previous
month pregnancy and resume this consumption in 1% of cases.
45,000 children are exposed in utero
each year in France
The consequences are serious:
On pregnancy
delayed intrauterine growth,
retro-placental hematoma
uterine rupture
uterine infarction
On the fetus
microcephaly
abnormal neural migration
deficient neural architecture
head smaller, low weight and scope
arrhythmia and abnormal heart
development
later
risk of aggression.
persistent oppositional disorders,
from the age of 6 years, very difficult to treat.
All this is enhanced by the intake
of alcohol (even a glass of wine per day) and tobacco.
The total withdrawal der tobacco and
alcohol should be absolute in early pregnancy.
