Yes, I quit while I was pregnant. I suppose it's hard to quit now because I don't want to. I didn't EXPECT this court situation to be quite honest, and obviously, I DO want to do what's best for my child. I personally don't see anything wrong with smoking. I don't smoke around my child... and even if I am a bit stoned while watching Noggin with her, I don't think that's hurting her either. Most of the time I choose to toke is when she is sleeping. Either way, you can choose to judge my actions whatever way you want, but basically I just wanted advice about a drug test that MAY or MAY NOT happen that I was not given ample time to prepare for by quitting. Obviously, now that I know about it, and the likelihood of more tests, I will be quitting, but I still might have a test to pass, and since I DO want to be around for my child, I'm just looking into the likelihood of me actually passing it.

Oh, and for the record, I don't breastfeed, and I couldn't because I had a very bad childbirth and was left with a gaping open c-section which meant I had to be on pain medicine for a while.

And I'm not the only mother in the world that smokes pot either. In fact, I am almost willing to bet a good percentage of mommies out there smoke.

Oh, and for the person who gave me "advice" on having anxiety. If you think that picking up a hobby just relieves the severe anxiety that some people have then you have no clue what real anxiety is like. There are people out there that are consumed with worry and paranoia all day long. I care about my daughter so little that I am constantly thinking things like "If we go out in the car today, what if someone hits us and she gets hurt?" "If I leave her in the swing while I go to the bathroom for a few minutes can she wriggle out and hurt herself?" "If I give my daughter this biter biscuit, is she going to somehow start choking and I won't be able to dislodge whatever food is in there?" etc. etc. etc.

Anyway, I started the thread to ask a question, not receive lectures about how I'm a terrible mother or advice about how to be a better mom.... My daughter is loved more than a lot of kids out there...
