I'm pretty sure most people missed complications to the question. I am physically ill, mild depression comes from having an incurable disease that has already taken a lot of good years from me. I hope you can understand that most of my problems are physical, not majorly mental. And i use weed for relief from my medical issues... not solely for pleasure. I know i need to weigh the pros and cons, i'm just hoping that all of your opinions will help me develope a firm position... so if i do decided to smoke while pregnant, for whatever reason, i can feel confident that i have made the best decision with the information i could find about the subject. I really appreciate all your input about the matter... i will take questions or comments from anyone who wishes to participate. thank you
hey KYLE, here a response for you this is what you said:
Not to be a jerk. But if you suffer from that many phsychological problems, are you really ready for a baby?
But that is'nt my decision or the question at hand. I think you should hold back on smoking for the first 6 months atleast, just to be safe like others have said. And thats when growth and development primarily takes place. Because your kid is forever. So the question is; Which ones more important to you, Weed or your childs health?
Feb-17-2005 06:03 please take a second look at the info i gave regarding my situation... i know you mean well for the baby, but the point is that, yes my heath is poor. Yes it is a personal decision to have a baby. Unfortunately, i am limited in what i can do in life, it sucks big balls, i dont mind saying that, because i am not happy about being ill. Having a baby has been a goal for me, as it is for a lot of people, and having a baby may be one of the few things i can do with what i have been given in life.... and with what time i have left, could be a couple of years, could be 40 years, but i cant wait much longer to decide. My husband is older and already nervous about the risk involved with being pregnant, not just having a baby. I could die as a result of pregnancy, that is a risk i am willing to take. I know that i have to be the one to decide if the risks outweigh the
rewards. I guess i am just thinking out loud... By the way, I dont smoke
cigarettes, so that is not a problem to quit that habit. I havent been pregnant or used weed while pregnant...so that brings me back to the original question. so , once again... thank you for ALL the responses, even negative ones... that is why i asked. i dont just want someone to agree with me, i want valid perspectives to either solidify my veiw, or maybe change it... i'll let you know. thank you.
