Did you or your wife smoke while pregnant?

First I had to read all the other comments. ME: father of 5, grandfather of 4, daily smoker since 1968 (39 YEARS). YES I smoked during my wifes pregnancies so did she. The doctors were more worried about her tobacco use. I never smoked tobacco she was a pack a day smoker. we lost 1st child to "crib death" she slept on her stomach probably suffocated, the next 4 were full term, healthy, vaginal delivery.
I now have 2 college grads, and 2 self employed businessmen. my #2 son and his wife smoked all through term and my grandson is fantastic, smart active bright. my daughter does not smoke and her daughter is a little fat and not as developed as my grandson.
My #1 son does not smoke and his daughters are bright and smart and fast. Maybe my daughter is using too much formula and convience food.
There will never be trustworthy documentation on this issue because too many people have a lot to lose.
I wish we had not smoked around the kids as much, I think the tobacco contributed to #3 son's ashma, but he is also a cronic smoker at 10 or more joints a day.
In all honesty I think living on a ranch in Wyoming did more positive for the kids than all this bother about particulate matter in the air. If you live in a city you are already poisoning your children with the pollution and all.
My suggestion is to keep as healthy as possible, maybe vape or bake while the little ones are in utro.
I worried as they grew up but they seem to be healthy taxpaying independent voting people who seem determained to help leave a better planet for their children so I guess it didn't hurt them
and it's better than the drunken bastard that beat me senseless until I left home at 15.

Hiya, I didn't smoke a thing when i was pregnant with both of my children i stopped as soon as i found out as ,i think it's realy un fair. I didn't find it hard at all

So, I had my son 5 months ago. He was born 7 lbs. 10 oz., as healthy as can be. He is both mentally and physically advanced for his age.

Now, after saying that, I smoked while I was pregnant. I did not smoke a lot, and I did quit for awhile. During my first trimester I didn't even know I was pregnant and during the last two months of my pregnancy, I smoked a few times a week.

My situation during my pregnancy was extremely complicated and stressful. I truly believe that there were times that if I hadn't used pot to calm down, I would have miscarried.

I did research it before toking, and I found no damning evidence against it. My doctor also knew I was smoking and never said anything about it. (He has been delivering babies for over 30 years.)

I know there are some people that will criticize those of us who choose to do it, and I understand why. I do not regret anything because my son could not be a happier, smarter, or healthier baby.

So, I say, use the maternal instinct you develop while you're pregnant. If it feels wrong, or you feel guilty, don't do it.

**I am talking exclusively about marijuana use. I would never condone drinking alcohol or taking harder drugs. Both of which have been PROVEN to cause birth defects and miscarriage.

Personally, I have no problems with any woman consuming through food or vaporizing MJ.
While my GF was pregnant with our daughter she smoked occasionaly. nothing crazy but she did smoke. Luckily when our daughter was born she was a healthy 7lb 14oz and was 23in long. She was long and thin but the doctors said she was super healthy. Now she's 18months and has a vocabulary of 20 words, not to mention she sings her ABC's. She's hella smart and knows everything! lol i think she's just watching us to see how she can get away with shit. She loves music and dancing and has started to hum and babble her own little songs.. I dont know what the hell she's saying when she's singing but she can sure as hell carry a tone and harmony. YAY just like Momma Val!

yeah... smoking isnt a good idea period. Coughing is your body reacting negatively to something foreign in your body. smoking whatever...

Vaping, or orally consuming weed is totally acceptable..

I know exactly what you mean, long, lean, and smart as a whip.

I'm not going to smoke ANYTHING while I'm preggo.

I'm sure weed isn't that risky but I just like having the feeling of being 100%. I couldn't live with myself if something happened, even if it wasn't the weeds fault I would feel responsible, like maybe, just maybe smoking did it.

Wow I would be more concerned about my drinking water where you live, not to mention the tomato on you next burger and fries. Better yet do you eat the skins of your apples(filled with the most harmful concentration of chemicals of all the food we eat, that DO NOT JUST WASH OFF), and watch that tuna fish sandwich for murcury.

You learn early on in pregnancy that everything you do is a potentially harmful hazard. You need to research just how harmful and prioritize what's worth it.

When you are hanging over a toilet every day and loosing weight while preggo when you only started at 120lbs you need to weigh up what's worst, starving yourself and your fetus for 9 months, or using a natural remedy to allow releif long enough to nurish and grow what you now live for.

* I drink water out of a brita.

* I don't eat Tomato

* Apples either

* And Tuna kind of freaks me out

And that's your experience and that's fantastic. But I can't take uneeded risks. I've been sick with cancer. I don't ever want my kids to experience anything like that. And until I know 100% I don't feel it right to do it.

But anyone else feel free to do it. If it works for you and you have healthy kids then that's great.

I just worry a lot.

You shouldn't.

I'm just joshin' with yah, and trying to catch a few passersby to jump on the band wagon. I'm glad to see your still around.

Awww thanks. Yeah sometimes it's hard to see regulars around here.

A lot of people left or got banned.

It's nice to see you around too.

I've been gone almost a year. Moved and had to set up from scratch all over again. At least that fixes the mite problem. I hit a wall with my grow and needed help so I figured it was time to come back to where the help is, lol.:jointsmile:

Yeah I've been on here on and off lately. But that's because I've been really busy with college and my dad dying really threw me off.

But I'm back.

I'm real sorry to hear that. Good luck with school. I have a pillow with my name on it though and I'm out for the night.

Amen to that. I remember reading something that said I needed to avoid sitting in traffic because of the fumes. Now, how does a person living or working in an urban area avoid traffic?

It is utterly impossible to follow ALL the guidelines and rules pregnancy literature lists.
