smoking marijuana while pregnant

I dont think you should take any meds (xcept prenatals) or smoke ANYTHING while your pregnant it is harmful and your child looses OXYGEN so dont worry bout yourself and worry about your fricken child guys. Wow Im 18 and my son is 2 years old and I sound smarter and more mature than some of your average age parents ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh GROW UP and be a responsible parent nuff said. Im tired of seeing these kindof post if its SMOKABLE or HARMFUL then dont do it while your pregnant geeze........




Oh and remember to vote lol :-)

WOW no responses lol XD

i did it all the way until i was 7 months pregnant (was on state insurance and afraid they would test me). i also drank a c**p load of Dr. Pepper which is BAD. my son is 6 and is so very, very smart. his teacher says he is one of the brightest in the class and one of the brightest she has had come through in a while. my sister in law did everything right and by the book. both her children stay sick constantly. TO EACH IS OWN. there are no true studies showing anything wrong. no overdoses, no deathes because of weed, nothing. family history and other factors are/can be to blame for things going wrong in children. plus, you never really know someone. they could have been a closet drinker, closet pill popper anything. i did it. here was my thought...ill keep putting something natural, an HERB, in my body and have NO headaches, NO morning sickness NOTHING or i can pop tylenol like they are candy. i rolled the dice, chose weed, and came out a winner all along.again, TO EACH IS OWN

So I am 14 weeks pregnant and I ate a total of three brownies throughout my pregnancy. And I was told I could get my baby taken away. I'm not doing it ever again its not adicting to me but I was hungry for chocolate and ate a couplee brownies.... I used to smoke cigs and pot but since I found out I was pregnant I quit both. So if my further along test will be negative for everything will I be okay you think? I'm seriously scared sh*tless I cant imagine my baby being taken away... So plz help. (I'm from Ohio btw.)

im not saying anyone should smoke while pregnant.  My mother smoked throughout her pregnancy with me.  I walked at an early age, i was reading at a fith grade level in kindergarten my mathmatic skills far exceeded my peers and i have no adhd problems. Speaking of ADD and ADHD did you ever think kids are just being kids there has been a massive increase in ADD diagnosis since schools began getting additional funding for teaching these kids.  There is no medical test for ADD and ADHD a teacher or parent says a kid is hyper or wont listen and they get diagnosed.  As far as studys linking marijuana use with developmental disabilitys studys show  both negative and positive results depending on the source of the information.  There are to many variables such as genetics, prescription effects, chemical preservatives in food ect for anything to be soundly proven.

all u people  who siit there and talk down about someone who smokes marijuana why dnt u do the world a favor and fall off your high horse marijuana is  no worse than some woman who smokes a pack of ciggarretts a day while pregnant i smoked my entire pregnancy and my son came out above and beyond perfect he was healthy weight great hearing great eyesight passed all his tests and much more my son is fifteen months now and is the smartest thing ever he knowa when i say batthtime he knows how to get his juice out the fridge all by himself he puts his plate and other trash in the trash can by himself when he done  he can eat all by himself with a spoon or a fork so why dont you people get a life the only reason yall talk down on pot so much is because its not excepted among your community o well not to many are great supporters of ciggaretts or alcohol and there are more deaths frrom them than any ever reported caused by mrijuana and the only rreason it aint legal is becausse the government havent figured out how to tax it yet why dont you turn on the news and enlighten yourself they are tryin to legallize marijuana more and more each day so quite hatin and tryin to force your hypocritical views on people 

I agree with you :)

i totally agree.. me and my family argues about that all the time! noone thinks about all the other bad things that could be going on.. i say what ever makes you feel the most comfort go for it! i am almost 18 weeks and my doc said my baby looks and sounds healthy as a horse so im not worried about anything anyone says about smoking while im pregnant! all i say is keep it at a minimum noone should be hi all day anyways lol!

Not just an opinion! It is COMPLETELY selfish to do anything to put your baby at risk! Obviously you are not responsible enough to become a parent!

I am 14 weeks pregnant and sad to say That I do still smoke. Maybe a puff or two a day when I can't eat. I find that when I go a few days without it I start getting extremely Ill and Can't even hold water down. weather or not this is a withdrawl symptom or just pregnancy sickness I do not know but I am thinking with the patterns I am noticing that it is from trying to quit. A mistake I made was not quitting before. If you are throwing up more than 4 times a day I don't see the harm in smoking a puff or two as long as you know where you are getting it and trust the person you get it from to avoid someone adding soimething to it or haveing harsh presticides. They say that even herbal teas can cause birth defects in large amounts to babies so are all you judgemental people gunna go judge women for drinking herbal teas during pregnancy? Doctors prescribe anti nausea medication to women with morning sickness that still contravercially may have caused severe birth defects in many many children. People are willing to take that while pregnant thats just as bad as pot in my opinion. I cant say forsure weather or not it does cause mental issues but I do know this. My mom stopped pot with me but smoked cigarettes I had adhd as a child. Not severe or anything but had trouble being still and focusing for a long period of time. Other than that I was smart and I graduated with a B grade average. With my younger sister on the other hand she smoked pot throughout her pregnancy because she was throwing up 4+ times a day throught her entire pregnancy. Right up until after birth.  She quit smoking cigarettes with my sister. My sister was in enrichment programs in school ( special classes for extremely smart kids) Normal school bored her and she overachieved all thorugh school. You can't say for sure that just smoking pot causes all these mental dissabilities and issues. It could be caused from a combination of pot use and the way they treat their children and also how much attention they get too. I have seem many many women that smoked pot throughout their pregnancy that have beautiful smart normal children. They are the mothers who spend time with their children dont yell at them and let them know they are loved. I also know a few women that smoked alot alot of pot during pregnancy and cigarettes and their kids arae unruly and dont listen but it's also in how they are raised. Their mothers are selfish and dont spend time with them. They yell and fight with their spouses or the child is subjected to negativity alot.  I know these are facts. Women who smoke pot during pregnancy can have lower birth weight babies and premature birth. There are nto enough studies or enough women that have had adhd and kinds with mental problems to know for sure weqather it is pot doing it. In all the research I hve looked up I have seen about one hundred stories that said their babies were FINE and about 5 that have said that their kids/grandkids had problems. All here on this ONE site too. I say if you can stop without having problems DO IT. If you choose not to be honest with your doctor about smoking. And also cut back. don't have more than a couple of puffs a day and try to go a few days withough it if you can. That is what I am doing until I can get advice from my doc about quitting and the symtoms I am having. Good luck I hope everything works out and Congrats on your pregnancy!

Look up; A poem about weed by Jackie Hill! That will answer all of your questions. :)

I agree to an extent with this poem but you can't tell me that marijuana doesnt have good uses. Just talk to my grandpa who is dying of cancer and can't keep anything down including water... It probably saved his life by keeping him from starving and dehydrating to death without having to lay in a hospital bed for hours on end with an IV in his arm...Anything is evil if people ABUSE it. Which unfortunately most people do but im sure as do people with some of the so called prescrition pills that are oh so helpful that actually DO KILL people. That have side effects worse than any amout of marijuana you can smoke. If this women wants to help people seh should be making them aware of all of the dangers of many many worse things out there, alcohol for instance THAT is evil. Our government makes us believe that it is safe yet some poor kids drink every day for a month not realizing that they can become completely hopelessly addicted to it and when they try to stop get the shakes puke and can possilby even die. (I know this from a friends personal experience) This poem just made me laugh. The only thing I agree with is that if you abuse it you will have to answer to god. And that it is evil in disguise as it is addicting and hard to quit and people do play it down more than it should be played down. But that's Like almost everything out there that doctors even push in your face!! Those are the only points this poem had in my opinion. I don't think people should go get stoned for the hell of it but to say that it's just evil in disguise period is dumber than dumb. It does help many people. That is a fact.

In CA and a lot of other states they automatically do a drug test when you go into labor, and will take your baby if you test positive. I am a social worker for CPS.
