P96.1: Neonatal withdrawal symptoms from maternal use of drugs of addiction
In the period immediately after the birth, there were withdrawal symptoms because of the mother's consumption of medications or drugs.
Certain medications or drugs can produce dependency. If the mother took these medications or drugs during her pregnancy or the birth, they can get into the child's blood via the placenta. The placenta forms in the mother’s womb during pregnancy. The placenta consists of cells from the mother and cells from the unborn child. The umbilical cord connects the child to the placenta.
If the effect of the mother's medications or drugs ceases after the birth, the child may have withdrawal symptoms. There can be different indications of withdrawal symptoms. For example, the child may breathe more quickly or its heart rate might be faster than usual. The child may also be particularly restless or scream. It may also have seizures. The child may vomit or get diarrhea. As time goes on, the child might develop in a different way to other children of the same age.
