PREGNANCY AND MARIJUANA USE...HELP!

[BrilloHeadBen]

Personally, I would advise against any foregin substances entering your body. I feel its rather selfish to risk the health and wellbeing of another just to get high, even if the risk is low. But thats just my .02

When you start getting morning sickness and puking your guts out EVERY fricking morning...talk to me then about not using cannabis while pregnant! Not being able to eat is bad for the baby, too! - Granny:hippy: (a bit grumpy because I haven't medicated yet)

my opinion:

if you plan to stop consuming all nasties (caffeine, medicine doctors give you (the nasty ones), alcohol etc.) then sue stop cannabis too, but if your pumping yourself full of soem next shit and think ''im smart i wont smoke weed my baby will be healthy'' then your dumb!

Basially what i am saying is some of the other stuff you consume daily while pregnant is even worse then cannabis, so why stop cannabis?? :S

Seriosuly my mates girlfriend is pregnant and she stopped alcohol, cannabis, but smokes fags aevry day, im like ''you fucking ignorant fool!!'' (nto exactly but the words i say top her have a similar meaning)

Even cannabis smokers seem to feel the illegal side of it and think its worse then all the legal crap in a little way, (mainly in the public image way lol, imagine telling someone thta yoru pregnanat and have stopped alcohol, caffeine and ciggarettes but still do weedd, most folks would be like wtf?) lol

im basically blabbering but if you take the time to work it out i have a couple of good points (i think )

It shouldn't matter in the first place. If you can't stop smoking while pregnant even for the RISK of something happening, just because some scientist on the internet said something doesn't mean it's true or false, but why RISK it? There are so many things that could effect the study and/or the controls that it could never be proven 100%.

If it's too much to give up smoking while you're pregnant, I feel bad for the kid because he's going to be in one hell of a ride...

I assume you would be the male part of the childbearing equation?
It sounds as if you belief that THC is a poison like the anti-cannabis lobby. If you believe that is so, I suggest you stop smoking every day yourself.
Like supervisor said:EAT IT.
When I was born (early '70s) all of the doctors told pregnant women not to gain wait. My mother was put on diet pills during her pregnancy, and I grew up smart enough to know that nothing is certain (though I did end up quite short--but that only hurts with the ladies), and as long as the mother is eating a good diet and sleeping well, and doing yoga, and taking care of herself, that a little punna butter where required :eat:for medicinal purposes is not going to transform her offspring into curly-tailed half piggies. I would stake my medical career on it if I had one...but no nicotine or alcohol.

I am currently 6 1/2 months pregnant and i am a pothead at heart:4:I am on my 3rd child. I have always stopped smoking by the time i was 2 months. I have a homie that smoked her whole pregnancy!!!NO B.S.like 5 out of 7 days a week! I dunno how her doctor never caught onto it!!! Her baby came out fine but only 5lbs14oz. The baby is also fussy...There are always possibilities of the baby developing learning problems later in life...but the baby is fine for right now. Smoking in general is bad for the baby. I never take any chances....Thats cuz i have been a smoker for 11 yrs already. It is not hard for me to stop cuz i just think of the children i already have and i would go crazy if anything happened to them! Its not forever just 9 months. You have ur whole life ahead of u! I wish you the best for you and ur baby and i hope u make the right decision homie!:hippy:

I have witnessed a pregnant girl smoking pot, cuz she is my dealer in East St. Louis when I am attending college. She gave birth and her baby is fine.

[Kaparski]

Wow I cant even believe people are actually considering smoking during pregancy. ANY type of smoke or drugs (excluding prescribed medicine by their doctor) are harmful to the child. Even coffee is supposed to be avoid during pregancy.

In all truth, its your kid. He turns out retarded, you'll know why.

[redhotstoner]

how about just asking your doctor. I have thought a bit about this one myself, my friend is a doctor and she told me recently that a baby was born with THC in its body- she didn't say anthing else, but it seemed to upset her.

But if you really think about it don't you think most doctors, even ones that are pro ganga, would advise you not to toke while preggy
