Is It Safe To Conceive While On Crystal Meth?

I have only been using crystal meth for a couple months now and just found out today, that I am pregnant. I believe I am in the very early weeks of the pregnancy, but I want to make sure that there will not be any harm to the baby when he/she is born. Nor do I want the baby to test positive for anything and have the chance of the baby being take from me. So I guess my question is- if I quit now will the baby be healthy and clean when it is born?
