The fetal and neonatal effects of maternal use of methamphetamines in pregnancy are not well known,and findings are often confounded by polydrug use and the effects of the newborn or child's environment.LBW,preterm birth,and anomalies such as cleft lip and palate and cardiac defects have been reported in infants exposed to methamphetamines in utero.Cleft lip is more common in male infants.The use of antibiotic and antispasmodic medications during pregnancy is not associated with the development of cleft lip or palate.
