Answers:
Effects of the mother (You have to consider that whatever happens to a woman during her pregnancy also is happening to the baby.)
* Anxiety
* Increased blood pressure
* Increased sweating and heart rate
* Insomnia and paranoia
* Irritability
* Psychosis
* Mental and physical exhaustion
* Deep depression and suicidal tendencies
* Decreased cognitive abilities such as memory, judgment, reasoning, and verbal learning

Along with the major issues come secondary health and emotional issues as well, such as lack of personal hygiene and care, financial problems, lack of stability, and more. A major secondary issue for pregnant women is poor dental hygiene
and teeth grinding. Good dental care is very important during pregnancy to avoid bleeding gums in pregnancy and heart issues.




Effects to the fetus:

* Low birth weight.
* Cleft palates.
* Premature birth.
* Mental and physical disabilities.
* Increased chances of miscarriage.
* Later issues can occur for male babies. A recent study reports that males fetuses exposed to crystal meth who later take meth themselves develop brain disorders much quicker than if their mother had never taken the drug.
