What are the potential consequences for my baby if I continue using drugs during pregnancy?
Artificial Intelligence Health Assistant's Answer

Continuing to smoke meth while being 5 months pregnant can have severe consequences for both you and your baby. Methamphetamine use during pregnancy increases the risk of premature birth, low birth weight, developmental delays, and behavioral problems in children. It can also lead to placental abruption, which is a life-threatening condition for both you and your baby. Additionally, methamphetamine use can cause long-term health issues for your child, such as learning disabilities and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is crucial to seek help from healthcare professionals immediately to quit using drugs and ensure the best possible outcome for your baby's health. They can provide guidance, support, and resources to assist you in overcoming addiction and protecting the well-being of your child.

Your baby is going to be addicted and go through withdrawals after birth and probably have health issues try get off for your self and your baby

The child won't have withdrawals but other complications. Just like you won't go through withdrawals, as far as being sick, you'll just be tired.. This is Web MD's response on the subject.  A 2015 review of a study that included children born to mothers who abused meth found no evidence of drug withdrawal in these babies, the journal Neurotoxicology and Teratology says. However they will have Trouble breastfeeding
Slow weight gain
Being admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit.
Later in life, Trouble controlling their thoughts or actions
Emotional and mental health issues like anger and trouble controlling emotions
Concentration problems like ADHD that may cause issues at school. Hope that's enough to make you want to stop. I know a 15 year old girl who has the best adoptive parents, or birth parents, if they had their own, a child could ask for. They took her in as a baby because her mom was strung out on meth and couldn't care for her. Same with her brother, they took him in too. She just tried to kill herself. Thankfully she's still alive.

Meth isn't even good for you. What do you think it's going to do to a baby

You know the answer, don't play dumb. 

Good luck.
