when people say they were born addicted to heroin, what does it even mean?
In: Biology
<Opiate baby here> I was born addicted, or for a better term, born suffering withdrawals from my mothers drug use whilst I was in her womb. If a mother uses drugs, the baby also is consuming whatever the mother takes, weed and smokes can cause respitory problems, opiates can cause addiction aka withdrawal symptoms once the baby is out in the world. its known as ‘ Neonatal abstinence syndrome’
First few weeks alive I didn’t fair well apparently, having fits, or trembling, not sleeping, crying for ‘no reason’ uncontrollably. high then low temps… just not a good thing for a pinkie to go through…. I was ‘ok’ by Age 1 though. growing up it seemly caused issues with emotional and social development, leading to depression and severe anxiety. Someone mentioned it stops development of the brain, I wouldn’t doubt that and other things, I’m a lot ‘smaller’ of a build then regular folks my age. So maybe even physical growth can be an issue when older..
