I am also pregnant smoking weed. Females who have a problem with that: DON'T judge me or preach, you'll be wasting your breath!
I only smoke through my vaporizer and edibles. i dont think marijuana will harm the baby. but the butane from the lighters can, so pipes aren't a good idea. A vaporizer is best because well it's vapor, and edibles u just eat it! Ladys at least make these types of changes if you're goiing through with it... also blunts aren't good because the wrap is tobacco, and white paper joints arent good either pure hemp or rice papers would be better. :-)

"Can i just say one thing that none of you seem to have brought up in this well on-going discussion. That being that maybe it would just be a great idea to suuck it up all you pot princesses and give up for the sake of your un-born child. Having been a chronic daily user myself, when i decided i wanted a baby, i wasnt even pregnant yet, i quit cold turkey. My Child doesnt deserve my cr*p of whatever it is, your baby is a clean slate when they start out, do your best to keep it that way. They didnt ask to be born.
I quit cold turkey as did a girlfriend who was also up the duff. At the end of the day it isnt healthy to smoke ciggies, to smoke weed, or drink or do any kind of drugs period. I mean a paracetamol isnt bad when your not pregnant, but you cant have if you are! If regular day to day things arent ok then what makes you think weed is gonna be a whole lot better?? Its pure selfishness of not having the "b*lls" to deal with life head on, weed zones you out, not to just bad stuff but the good stuff too. When your watching your kids play even when there perfectly healthy (if you did smoke) it wont be as special because you just aint all there if your stoned.
Its not fair on your babies they deserve every piece of you, and to have you around for a long, long time. Stop smoking, not only will you feel better mentally, and yes i was slightly physco when i stopped i got all of the withdrawals. But what can you do? Some people dont get them apparently...but if your like the majority its a part of quitting so dont be suprised if your feeling c**p its meant to happen. its all the toxins leaving your body.
You must go through the pain to get to the other side and be a stronger person, remember "PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY""
Clearly you've missed the entire point of the thread. What people are saying is you shouldn't smoke weed to begin with (so they have already said that in this thread, even though you just said no one has said it?? I guess you just skimmed through rather than actually reading. It's okay, I understand most ignorant people are self righteous. Not everyone "feels better mentally" when they are not smoking. Some people feel better mentally when they are because it calms their anxiety and helps them have a normal appetite.
I don't condone smoking anything while pregnant (my personal preference) but neither do I condone eating McDonalds Hamburgers and using pregnancy as an excuse to over-indulge on eating and being lazy. What MY POINT IS (since you're dumb, I"ll spell it out nice and clear for you) is that regardless of whether weed "SHOULDNT BE SMOKED IF YOU ARE PREGNANT", there are MUCH WORSE THINGS that are done on a daily basis by MOST pregnant women. Eating greasy foods, having seconds, not exercising at all is much more dangerous then smoking a blunt a day.
The other point I tried to make in a previous post is that weed is used medically. The reason it is used medically is not just because it has healing powers, but because it has little to no negative or dangerous side-effects, like taking pills would be. Taking a tylenol a day would likely be more dangerous then smoking a joint a day, even. There are also 100% healthy ways to ingest Marijuana that is neither harmful for you or your baby, if marijuana benefits you medicall (like myself). I have IBS .. Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or Spastic Colon. I also have high anxiety and they go hand in hand. I can go days without eating if my stomach is bothering me. It affects my sleep, my joints, my muscle pain, my clarity in thinking, my weight and overall health. If I were to deal with this agony, I am quite sure that it would be much better in the end for me to smoke, or even use a vaporizer or edibles to ingest Marijuana. If you are confused as to what vaporizers are, they get rid of any carcinogens in the Marijuana, which basically means there is nothing harmful going on in your body... same thing with the edibles because you are eating food with Marijuana in it.
I never understood how people can absolutely eat up the Stigma that conservatives and the media force into small minded people's heads. Weed is so unbelievably harmless next to a giant list of comparisons. The only thing that researchers have EVER been able to claim is negative about Marijuana is A) Carcinogens, which are canceled out by using a vaporizers or edibles. And B) Psychosis. Well now, isn't that a fancy word? It means a temporary loss of memory or distortion of reality basically. In other words..... it gives you a buzz..... a buzz much weaker then alcohol, and one that promotes a healthy appetite and (if you have anxiety) a healthy and normal energy level and behavior.
I have said it a million times but I don't know how else to say it to you people.... do your G*D damn research! Just because you are bias doesn't mean that you can type into google "Weed is harmful" and then copy and paste paragraphs you find to support your biased opinion. You need to find information on both sides, because only then can you appropriately and credibly argue your side. If you don't know the counter arguments how can you possibly make yourself sound aware of the facts? There will always be opinions stated.. sometimes based on research, and often times on research that is not indicative of a credible final conclusion..... basically if you take a study of 100 different women who 50 of them smoked weed and 50 of them didn't, and two of the women that smoked weed had babies with diformities or something else........ this doesn't mean that wed caused the deformity. Not enough research is done to indicate that the weed was not even a cause of the deformity. Often times it turns out that the woman who smoked weed just happened to also be a lazy unhealthy person and the baby suffered because of THAT, not directly from inhalation of Marijuana.
Find plausible studies to back up your information. If you are convinced that Marijuana is some hardcore drug or that it causes all these problems in your life, you fail to realize that Marijuana is psychologically addicting, not physically. What that means is that if I go shoot heroine in my arm.. the next day my body is going to crave more heroin. However if I smoke weed, I am fine if I go 5 months without it. I don't have withdrawals because there is no physical addiction. I smoke weed legally in the state of Colorado, and I might smoke it once every one or two days. People get addicted to weed the same way they get addicted to mcdonalds cheeseburgers, ice cream, pizza and cake and in fact the latter is worse for you then the former. I am 5'9" 130 pounds, active athletic and a college student with a 4.0. I am a female. I have no kids yet, but no I will not smoke weed when I am pregnant.
I have said all that I can possibly say to make you people realize that its not about weed being dangerous, its about habitual users not understanding moderation. If you do too much of ANYTHING it is not healthy for you... even exercise. You have to litsen to your body, know what is best for you, and know what will and won't be a risk for your health. Weed is one of the last risks to your health there possibly is. Less harmful then your McDonalds hamburger, as I've said a few times... Want me to say it again?
By the way dip stick.. there are no "toxins" in weed. Where he hell do you get this BS? You only feel like c**p if you smoke weed if you are psychologically addicted. The same way you feel like c**p if you can't get your ^^^^^^^^^^ MCONDALDS HAMBURGER. I think it depends highly on the person and their screwed up HEAD as to how they react to marijuana. It also depends on the type of Marijuana plant inhaled. Some are stronger and there are two different kinds... sativa and indica... which are meant to give you two differen types of buzz. If you and your Emo girlfriend are blazing every day and then you quite cold turkey, you probably felt like sh*t because you are lazy pot heads that got psychologically addicted because you dont' know how to do anything in moderation. It's perfectly fine to smoke weed here and there if you don't go overboard. If you know how to limit yourself on occassion, or you know how to maintain an active lifestyle while smoking then you will be fine. God some of you people are so disgustingly ignorant. And as far your "pain is weakness leaving the body" .. why don't you tell that to the hollaucaust victims, or perhaps my Mom who died from Breast cancer..... or me.... you think I would choose to sit on the toilet in a public restaurant in pain, when I know I could take a few hits of weed and my stomach would thank me for it, and my body would be calmed and I could go back to my active lifestyle. That's right... I can't be as active if I'm not smoking. Maybe weed isn't for everyone.... not everyone is intelligent enough to understand what it does for your body and how to appropriately use it. I'm sorry that you're one of those re****s.

Oh.... and one last thing Mr. "Pain is weakness leaving the body" ahole.... Marijuana is even being used (with edibles) in elementary aged children who have ADD to help them focus in school and has shown to significantly improve attention spans and grades for those children. Need I REALLY say anything more?
google "marijuana prenatal study jamaica dr melanie dreher" half hour video will blow your mind...she and others did a ten year study on 60 pregnant women in jamaica. 30 non-smokers and 30 smokers.....check it out everyone !
I have to disagree with all the negativity towards people who smoke weed while they are pregnant... Ive heard many doctor's prescribe it to pregnant women in certain cases & the only actual proven side effect that weed has on people in general is when ur under the influence it can cause a slower reaction time. The rumors about loss of brain cells & permanent memory loss are just that, rumors.. they have never been physically or scientifically proven.. I think it wrong for people to criticize women who smoke weed while they are pregnant because in almost all of my parenting & pregnancy books it says it is ok to drink a glass of wine a day when we actually know the effects alcohol has on the fetus but they still say its not harmful so i highly doubt the effects of marijuana are anywhere near that of alcohol... & personally almost half of the people i know there mom was smoking weed while pregnant & they are all surprisingly more intelligent than that of the ones who didnt... My friend smoked weed with her daughter & she just turned 4 & she speaks in full sentences, she knows all her alphabet, colors & numbers & was completely potty trained after 2 weeks...
ok see i have resurched allot on weed and im am pregnant i have smoked while i was pregnant and by the way my child is highly intelegant and came out with no birth defects no problems if you really resurch what you are calling stupid you wouldnt be calling people who smoke idiots i have watch a film called the union which i think everyone should watch pot DOES NOT kill brain cells it stimulates them there are many medicinal purposes for pot that most of the population doesnt know about it has been proven to slow down and prolong the affects of althimers and has also been proven to help people who go through convultions and help them live there daily lives you really shouldnt judge people unless you know all the facts the government makes pot out to be this horrible drug but what other drug do you know that was put on this earth that you can grow alcohol causes more problems then pot actually there has been no proven case that pot has killed anyone or any baby again i say i have smoke while i was pregnant and my child is smart and nothing is wrong with her and if you say im a bad parent your an id**t i have had a parental teacher tell me i was an excellet mother just cause you smoke pot doesnt make you a bad parent i have 3 kids and have never had them taken from me my kids dont know what i do cause i choose for them not to know what i do when they are asleep is my buisness but i just want to stress NOT to judge people before you know the facts reserch the facts again i suggest everyone watch a doctumentry call the union very informative
Look im 16 my mom smoked with me and my brothers i have a 4.0 im in the band first chair trumpet and top chess player in my class so the fact that some of you are saying that its bad is a load of c**p both my brothers are in collage and i myself am doing good living proof that smoking weed doesnt harm the baby
alright i dont have any info that could help this young lady, but im sick and tired of coming on to these sites and reading answers like 90% of the ones on here...look first of all she didnt ask if she was stupid for smoking pot while she was pregnant...she asked if it would be out of her system when the baby is born so none of you are helping...second of all I find it kind of funny that all of you spend your extra time actually replying to questions like this one do you have anything better to do?...and lastly it is your opinion so you can say whatever you want...but not a single one of you has a right to judge anyone maybe you didnt smoke weed while you are pregnant or you dont smoke weed at all but i know every single person that replyed to this question all have downfalls and how would you like it if you had a question that you needed an answer to and instead of answering it people just verbally bashed you for it....I suggest unless you have something nice to say dont say it at all!

inappropriate posting*** Please read our Terms of Use who are saying smoking weed is bad, you guys need to get your facts straight. First unless you give them
A reason to test for weed, they won't. Second there are NO PROVEN TEST that weed is harmful, everyone just thinks it is because it is illegal Don't believe everything that you hear on the news and tv. .
Its sad to see there is so many people who just go with taboos what they have heard from old sponsored propaganda campaigns (effective ones as we can see ) or friend they trust - that's all.
These anonymous "anti weed" comments - well, one can see from the comment quality that they are based on nothing, no links to REAL studies (not that i would bother to paste them here right now).
Comments directly from mothers who have smoked say opposite what "some study sponsored by some anti drug movement" tells us. But of-course, most likely "anti weed" crowd are what they apear: just one and same small group of activists who is beating dead horce, trying to do some propaganda here by spamming forum with aged information, myths and lies. (there is many groups like that - there is also many theories why they act like this as many of them appear not to get paid for their work, at least not in this world...)

well, Internet is full the right information (and even more wrong one) - one just needs to find a people who have done some real studies and not with material they "had to" but what they "dared to" do studies with. Many doctors have fired/licenses revoked if they talk positively about marijuana so there is still many who are afraid to speak out or to look in to real facts. But the ones who are retired open their mind/mouth more and more - specially the ones who need it for their own...
It all will be legalized as soon as gov sees that the money they get from tobacco and alcohol corporation is not payng off the expenses it will bring later.

Sorry - actually there is not so many narrow minded comments as it first appeared, i bit overreacted
there are no test that prove weed hs any effect on the baby and anyone who dont belave that needs to go talk to the doctor as long as u drink alot of water and dont do it again i did the same thing i didnt know i was prego and i smoked i just found out i am right at the six month mark i stoped and now am drink fluids they only teast the 1st poop and as long as it is out of ur system by the time it starts to form bc that means it wil b out of ur babys good luck and to everyone who comes just to talk c**p that shows how lil of a person u r
I want to know if it is safe to quit smoking weed if u have been smoking the whole way through so far
You guys dont even know what youre talking about. smoking weed while pregnant wont kill your baby. and here you guys are calling this poor girl stupid. you guys are uneducated in the canabis area and should not be giving advice. Smoking weed has been related to a lower weight in babies. other than that nothing has been proven and LOTS of people do it to help with morning sickness. SSOOOOOOOO you guys are all stupid. lol and im sure her baby is fine and very smart. most likely very artistic as well. you guys say its bad because the government wants you to think so. they have no reason to say its bad. everything negative about weed has been DISPROVEN and thats a fact. also another fact: Weed has never killed ANYONE.
she didnt ask for all u sarcastic ass people to jump on her helmet about a situation she is trying to resolve.
smoking does not make u a bad mother or does not mean ur baby will die!! (ignorance is bliss).. exspecially if ur doing it moderately to help with nausea and too eat.
im 20 weeks and have lost 20lbs since ive been pregnant. i started to hit a joint before i eat.. and it stays down and my child is growing perfectly normal..
