Have I hurt my unborn baby?

I found out I was pregnant last week, and I've been worried sick as (please don't judge me) the two weekends before I found out I took cocaine. Have I hurt my baby? I wasn't planning this baby as I'm only young and I wanted to wait a few years before we had children, but I can't have an abortion

Hi stupid, welcome to mumsnet

Congratulations on your pregnancy. Obviously cocaine is not the best start to a pregnancy, but I think if you did a poll of 'surprise pregnancies' you'd find that the majority had done something 'risky' before they found out about the baby.

I'm not well up on cocaine, but I should think that you have done minimal damage (if any at all) and things should run smoothly in the pregnancy so long as you stay off the drugs and keep alcohol consumption to a minimum.
