I've smoked pot since I was 17, everyday of my life... minus a couple none typical events. I have suffered from intense cronic knee pain (both knees) since a car accident when I was involved in at the age of 14. (k... that's all the justification Im gonna note) Always gone thru a few joints a day. Down to about 1 jt now. But I find it unbelievably difficult to do less than that. Can some of you out there that might have some insight on this and the effect I may have on my baby. I keep getting told how bad nicatine is, that Im struggling to stop that, but I have no idea about the effects of THC and such. Looking for honest information on this.
thanx,
all input is greatly appreciated.
Im now in my 4 th mth, and pretty terrified.
My husband and I are excited about this, but as the one carring the load, I'm scared.

our mid wife told us that small amount's [ a couple toke's in the AM for morning sickness ] is ok ..i have 3 kids and thier mothers smoked weed through out thier pregnancy's in moderation..all 3 of our kids were born very healthy and with excellent birth weights ..my oldest weighed 10 lbs 8 ounces and was 21 inches long..his mom was 115 lbs 5'8" when she got pregnent i am not big at all 5'7" 155 lbs... my second son weighed 8 lbs 11 ounces 20 inches long..and my 3rd was a girl she weighed 8 lbs 6 ounces and was 22 inches long... thier mother is 5'2" and was 110 lbs when she got pregnent..if you are concerned about the smoking thing you can use a vaporizor..but like i said moderation is important..a couple hits in the morning and eve should be just fine..just dont go smoking a 1/8 a day of high end stuff every day ....,keeping your stress level low and keeping a good appetite is very important and we all know weed will keep you relaxed and hungry..im sure every one here will be having a good thought for you and the lil one that is on the way..and please keep us informed on how ya'll are doing.. and when the lil guy or gal arrives let us know how they and you are. take care... BTW my mom smoked 2 packs of marlboro reds while pregnent with me and my 2 sisters and all of us weighed over 8 lbs at birth....peace jim
