The growing use of crack-cocaine by women of child-bearing age poses significant management problems for physicians. Both animal and human studies suggest that cocaine exerts significant negative effects on maternal health, the course of pregnancy, and infant developmental outcome. Maternal pregnancy complications and increased rates of low birth weight and prematurity in infants who are fetally exposed are well documented. However, available studies of neurobehavioral outcomes for cocaine-exposed infants are still inconclusive. Physicians need to become knowledgeable about the potential effects of maternal drug addiction during pregnancy to provide appropriate medical care.
育龄女性中使用快克可卡因的情况日益增多，这给医生带来了重大的管理难题。动物和人体研究均表明，可卡因会对孕产妇健康、妊娠过程及婴儿发育结局产生重大负面影响。孕产妇妊娠并发症以及胎儿接触可卡因的婴儿中低出生体重和早产率增加的情况已有充分记录。然而，关于接触可卡因婴儿的神经行为结局的现有研究仍无定论。医生需要了解孕期母亲药物成瘾的潜在影响，以便提供适当的医疗护理。
