Question by Amanda: What can Percocet abuse do to your baby during pregnancy?
A girl I know is due in August and has been abusing the pills before she found out and ever since she found out. She has been taking 5-8 a day. The doctor supposedly tells her everything looks/sounds good but I’m doubtful. Could something be wrong with her baby when it’s born? Thanks for any answers. She also has not told her doctor about her substance abuse.
Could the doctor be able to tell anything is wrong through listening to the heart beat? Or any ultrasounds? It’s not fair to make your baby suffer while you get high.

Best answer:
Answer by vv
It’s hard to put a figure on this.
I should think that about 90% of prescriptions are filled when originally written and that (absent a financial problem) about 75% of those religiously follow directions as written and take all their medications.
There is an outfit on the West Coast that keeps these stats; IMS.
Answer by Kaytee Dee
“The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that close to 20 percent of people (48 million) over the age of 12 in the U.S. have used prescription drugs for non-medical purposes.”
Just search for “prescription abuse statistics”. I’m sure you’ll get lots of hits.
