Some are concerned with higher occurrence of complications and greater severity of withdrawal symptoms upon birth, while others support the treatment. If a mother stops using the drug "cold turkey," the fetus will then experience withdrawal symptoms in the womb, with may cause wide swings in the baby's blood level from intoxication to withdrawal, which often times leads to death and spontaneous abortion, premature birth, and other negative effects. (Bashmore, 508, http://www.nida.nih.gov/Diagnosis-Treatment/diagnosis3.html). The best thing for the mother to do would be to consult a health care provider or drug treatment center about a methadone program, which will be less harmful for the baby.

This can lead to serious health problems during the newborn period including breathing problems and increased risk of lifelong disabilities. Birth defects are another effect of heroin. These include the baby suffering withdrawal symptoms such as fever, sneezing, trembling, irritability, diarrhea, vomiting, continual crying, and sometimes seizures. Using heroin also raises the baby's risk of contracting the HIV virus if the mother used heroin intravenously.
If a mother is using heroin while pregnant, it is important that she does not stop using the drug suddenly because this will lead to increased risk of death for the baby. The best thing for the mother to do would be to consult a health care provider or drug treatment center about treatment with a replacement drug called methadone, which will be less harmful for the baby.
