Patients with substance use disorder have every right to be pregnant and have children as much as anyone else.

He emphasizes the critical role of prenatal care, explaining how early ultrasounds and proper medication management can significantly impact the health of both mother and baby. One of the most compelling aspects of Dr. Schauberger's approach is his holistic and compassionate care model.

The episode highlights the importance of ongoing support during and after pregnancy, stressing that everyone thrives with the right kind of help. If you're interested in understanding the complexities of addiction during pregnancy or know someone who might benefit from this knowledge, this episode offers invaluable insights and practical advice.
