I have a serious question. What can I do?

Question

My girlfriend is 3 months pregnant with my child. She says she wants to keep it and I will support her any way I can, but the the thing is she's doing drugs. I told her it's bad for the baby and that it could give it birth defects or worse kill it, but she doesn't seem to care. What can I do? I threatened to tell the police but she doesn't care. She says she'll do what she wants and 'it's her body her choice''. Please it stopped being just her body when we decided to keep the baby.It's my kid too and I have every right to say what goes on with it. What can I do to make stop doing drugs. Please I want my child to be okay. I couldn't live with myself if I let something bad happen to my unborn child.

Answer 1

I have heard of Child Protective Services stepping. I would contact them.

Answer 2

Even though she says she doesn't care, you still need to contact the police. She will get locked up and possibly ordered to a drug rehabilitation clinic. I feel terrible for you! Unfortunately, this is the only thing I can think of to help resolve the situation. I really hope this helps.

Good luck and God bless!

Answer 3

Well Id call DFS and then Id make a point to tell everyone, her parents, her Dr and if that didnt work well to bad it wasnt legal to take these little bitc&es tie em up and make em stay healthy till they had the baby......When I found out I was prego I quit smoking there were days when I cried but I did it and I did it for my baby....... Also Id get proof of this drug use like a drug test at the dr or something so that when she has the baby you can take it away from her....

Answer 4

Report her, she's not taking of her child, doesn't matter whether it's born yet or not.

Answer 5

what drugs is she doing?

Answer 6

remind her that it is not just her body any more she is killing an innocent child!

Answer 7

See what the laws are.  Call child protective services they would know what you can do.  I think in some states she can get in a a lot of trouble, but I'm not 100% sure so make that phone call...

Answer 8

She's going to KILL it! Tell her it isnt right for her life, and definately not right for the baby's life. If you threaten her it wont do anything, she has to quit on her own. Tell her consequences and the things that could happentto the baby with drugs. Good luck, hope all goes well. :)

Answer 9

what gets me thinking is, is she still going to be doing drugs when or if ur child is born? i'm sorry but a baby in that kind of environment is neglect.. i think you need to go and speak to a professional and get some help on the situation... do u want to be with this girl still? if not then i think u need to take legal action!

Answer 10

i would honestly hook her up ina  rehab, my boyfriend went to rehab when i found out i was prego, i was not playing with him, i never did drugs and theres no reason he should either, and your right it stopped being her body and became her and the babys body when she decided to keep the baby! ttell her... better yet SHOW her some defects that can have on a baby!

google drug addicted babys (maybe instead of drug type in her drug of choice so its more personal)

good luck

Answer 11

This may sound stupid, but I work in a OB/GYN clinic and I think you should call the OB. They will do random drug tests on her and I think that makes a lot of people stop.

I dont know what else to say it just makes me sick that these people dont give a d**n about their kids!
