- Description
- Substances such as cannabis, opioids, stimulants, nicotine, alcohol, and other sedatives are used by more than 300 million people worldwide. Pregnant and breastfeeding women have used drugs for centuries for a range of reasons. The exact number of women using substances during pregnancy or breastfeeding is unknown. Some women may not disclose drug use, and others may not consider their use to be a problem and fail to disclose it to their healthcare workers. Non-disclosure may be a particular problem with legal drugs, especially tobacco and alcohol, as well as for illegal drugs.
