Your Baby is Addicted to Heroin | Chicago Med | MD TV

I was not expecting to cry today

I’ve been on opioid painkillers for a long time now since a bullet tore through my right thigh then hit my femur bone shattering into dozens of lead pieces that ultimately destroyed half of my muscle fibres in that leg that I now must also use a cane to support my body weight because it gets incredibly painful when you only have half the muscle doing twice the work that cramps start happening which is extremely uncomfortable, but thanks to the opioids benefits life is at least bearable for me so it is a double edged sword, if you don’t need it don’t take it trust me it’s my last resort after deep frying my liver overusing NSAIDs opioids relaxing effects also make me forget about the trauma of a ND experience!

Mother is the name of God on the lips of every child.

That is heartbreaking, imagine having to watch in despair as your own baby is being taken away from you right in front of your eyes. And to make it worse, he’s being given to a couple that you don’t know who. Not only that, but you can’t do anything about it. Truly heart-shattering.

okay wait is this gemma from new amsterdam?!

I’m 25 . I have no parents . I have no friends . I have depression, Anxiety and PTSD. Alcohol almost took me and pills almost took me . Then I got pregnant. That baby is what saved me 💯 and God gave her to me . I’m not lonely anymore . God knew my heart and he gave the missing piece to me. Trust when I say there is hope there is good in this world and there are things WORTH LIVING FOR . Remember that when you feel like nobody loves you , the man above dressed the flowers with beauty and splendor and he watches over every sparrow , he will clothe you more than the flowers and if he watches over every bird , how much more does he love you? God bless you all my brothers and sisters ❤ beauty comes from chaos

The truth is if she got herself together and got clean she might stand a chance of getting her son back but that process takes a lot of time...time a baby doesn’t have. If she really cares about her baby then she needs to let him go and give him a chance at a life that she cannot give him right now.

My birth mother ask the nurse to give me up for adoption because she was to young ,I know my birth mother don,t no birth dad , she died not long go because of drugs ,

Why are these patients delivering in the ER and then STAYING in the ED? That baby should be in the NICU!

Omg aw that is really upsetting

"But he likes me so much "😭

Why don't dcf help single mothers take care of kids instead of strangers...really sad.

wow😓

Oh, NOW you love your baby!

i gave up my youngest at birth for adoption (I still get to see him). I refused from even before the birth to hold him. Not out of selfishness, like some people assume, but so i wouldnt be selfish and refuse to give him up, knowing i wasnt in a position to take care of another child. I started crying and screaming at the nurses who put him on me while they cut the cord, because i didnt want to have even that brief moment of contact with him. I explained it to him the last time i saw him, and even though he's only 11, he thanked me for giving him to his parents. He knows very well that i did it so he could have a better life.

When baby’s r addict best n believe it’s a whole team behind her or him.meanwhile baby’s r so innocent

Stop fighting it's a baby's mom and heart to heart helps she regret it will you put that baby into foster care the mother will regret it for the rest of her life

Amazing acting skills first off you could feel the emotions like you were in the room. One thing and i am just speculating why was the option of the mother going to rehab so she could become the mom the baby needed not brought into light by any of the doctors because while the hormonal attachment was at play the girl really seemed like she wanted to do right by her baby even if that meant yes her baby would be fostered but it is so she can get better for her baby like i said it was something i was thinking about and surprised doctor charles didnt suggest it because cant the biological mother if getting help get visitation rights with her baby sorry im rambling i really like this show 😅

If he "understands a lot better than" she thinks, then maybe he should try not constantly glaring at her.

Very very wrong!!!!! pinaasa nyo lang yong magulang, dapat hindi nyo na pinalapit sa kanya yong anak kung kukunin nyo lang naman.

I know this is meant it be serious but the title is crazy.

So instead of the state giving the mother tools to fix her life while taking care of her baby..then give the baby to a foster family. Like come on..

The actors and actresses that play these patients are seriously talented and underrated 👏

Addiction is often awful. People stigmatize it and some don’t really know how hard it is to get out of an addiction. It’s like diving into a pool of water while being weighed down by a dense rock. Going further and further until you’re in too deep and unable to get back up to the surface. You long for freedom however you feel like no matter what, you will never be free.

How does she just INSTANTLY pinpoint his addiction to heroin? I’m no medical expert, but it just makes no sense for that to be her first conclusion within the first 90 seconds of the clip

Sure, she wants the baby when it's simple as holding him to help him, but how about when his care requires more than that?

Soooo when do we stop seeing a mother as n abuser and start seeing her as a victim?

Who knew giving can look 😰 and yet so❤

I feel like this is unrealistic. I know plenty of people that don’t get their babies taken away right from the hospital when they used. Usually CPS case doesn’t even start until you’re home with the baby. And even then they put a lot of preservation programs in place so you can keep your baby. Where I’m from they have rehabs you can go to with your kids and sober living programs. I’m not saying every place is like this… but there is definitely a system in place and resources for addicts with children

My youngest cousin was born addicted heroin. Luckily he’s doing good now but he’ll never meet his mom because she died not long after and she never had custody (I think).

poor baby

I had my baby removed from me but not because of anything I had done but because he was sick and needed SCBU. It is the most heart wrenching time to be momentarily left without your baby, in a ward full of mums and babies and left to cry - nobody there to console you at all. And then when your baby is in an incubator and crying inconsolably and you aren’t allowed to remove him literally killed a part of my heart.

I was born a heroin addict it’s sucks to know that my mother did this I feel for the baby 😭😭😭😭

This is just so horrible to watch and hard… that poor baby and woman…. Addiction is a terrible disease

Poor little baby 😔

😭😭😭

Question: If the mother actually fully recover and is no longer an addict, and has a regular job and a house(rent perhaps), can she lawfully claim the baby's custody if the baby were still not adopted?

And the mother is okay with it? Wow what a horrible mother.

Biology matters. no transwomen allowed

I don’t get how holding the baby is gonna make him feel better anyone can hold him and pretend to be the mom this is bullshit

Dont believe in so called "addiction"... Nevrer had an addiction personality as a stupid wild SINFUL teen. THANK GOD 🙏👑

This show usually has some pretty bad acting. But the woman who played this mother did a great job.

Jesus can save for He is the way the truth and the life❤ repent for the Kingdom of God is near🤎

Oh my goodness. I just love Dr Charles! One of the most empathetic & sympathetic psychiatrist,,,,,,,,,my Hero😊

How could a mother do that to her baby🥹.

Im crying for both of them

how just how
