Abstract Drug abuse during pregnancy poses significant risks and consequences, not only for the expectant mother but also for the developing foetus. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of various substances on pregnancy and foetal development, including alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and prescription medications. It explores the teratogenic effects of specific drugs and how they can lead to physical, cognitive, and behavioural impairments in children. Additionally, it delves into the challenges associated with addressing substance abuse during pregnancy and offers potential solutions, from reducing stigma to enhancing access to treatment. It is essential to understand the teratogenic effects of various substances and the potential physical, cognitive, and behavioural impairment they can cause in children. The challenges associated with addressing substance abuse during pregnancy are significant but not insurmountable, and there are several crucial solutions to consider.
