If the father of your child did drugs, will that take effect on your childs health and growth

If the father of your child did drugs, will that take effect on your childs health and growth? Ok well the father of my child was/is a pretty big druggie. He did pot, weed, ecstasy, and a lot of other things I probably don't know about. Well in result of all of that he's really skinny he's like 5'10 and he weighs 129 or something idk he's just skinny. I am 5'6 and I weigh 125 and people tell me I am too skinny for my height , but I do not think so. Anyways based on all of this is there a possibility the child will have health problems or trouble growing in height or will he/she be like a child that is born under weight and has problems gaining weight? It just hit me like 2 days ago that something like that could happen and I am really scared.  Other - General Health Care - 6 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : unless you did drugs when you had the child in you, then no the kid will not be effect. 2 : you should be scared. there is a high chance your child will be retarded 3 : the drugs in his system may leak into his sperm and gets combined with it and therefore, after the process of which im sure you know. the baby will inherit flaws and pros from both parents. If youre really lucky, the child took most of the things after you and didnt inherit the chemicals of the drugs 4 : Yes, your child could end up with health problems. This is not to worry because many people use drugs (even mothers) and the babies are fine. So yes there is a possibility, but worrying isnt gonna help the baby. Just be ready emotionally and mentally for whatever may come. Hope I helped! 5 : You said he is a big druggie. Yes, that definitely can impact the child's health, especially if either of the parents drink or do drugs during the pregnancy. It is worst if the mother does it. If the parent/s used to do drugs or drink a lot, but stopped due to pregnancy, it reduces the risk, but may not completely eradicate it. The chance of reducing the risk of health problems for the child is still there, and that is by putting a stop to any unhealthy habits. Remember, we are talking about taking risks here, so it could be that you may have a healthy child regardless of anything else, but you would not want to take chances with his/her life :) 6 : You need to find a doctor and talk to her about this. This is no time to be asking a bunch of dummies on the internet. Take good care of yourself now and chances are that everything will be fine.
