With the prevalence of drug addiction amongst young women rising in the United Kingdom the problems associated with pregnancy in this group are increasingly being reported. An attempt has been made to determine whether the birth of a baby is a sufficient stimulus for the mother to cease her drug of addiction. Between the years 1966 and 1988, 86 such mothers gave birth at St Mary's Hospital, London, whom we were able to trace for at least one year after their last delivery. The results show that the majority of mothers continued with their drug use and where this is so the chances of the child remaining with her are markedly reduced. Discussion centres around possible ways of identifying those likely to succeed in drug withdrawal during pregnancy and the need for increasing and continued support for these mothers and their babies after they have left hospital.
随着英国年轻女性吸毒成瘾现象的日益普遍，与该群体怀孕相关的问题报道也越来越多。人们试图确定婴儿的出生是否足以促使母亲戒除成瘾药物。1966年至1988年间，86名此类母亲在伦敦圣玛丽医院分娩，我们能够在她们最后一次分娩后至少追踪一年。结果显示，大多数母亲继续吸毒，在这种情况下，孩子与她生活在一起的可能性会显著降低。讨论集中在识别那些怀孕期间可能成功戒毒的母亲的可能方法，以及在这些母亲和她们的孩子出院后增加并持续提供支持的必要性。
