Hello everyone, I'm 36 and preg with my 3rd and last child.
My first I smoked weed about 3 x a week, 5 cigs a day.
(he's 10 now and healthy and happy) My 2nd, didn't smoke with, except 1 cig a day. She's 8 and has slight asthma (never weezes, takes meds to prevent it). This pregnancy is different. I only have 8 weeks to go and just found out I have gestational diabetes. For those of you who have never gone through this, it means my body isn't producing insulin so the sugar in my body isn't being processed. The baby is getting too many calories and producing extra insulin to compensate. This means I have to test my blood about 5 times a day (prick my finger *yuck*). I've been doing this for about 3 wks and I'm really stressed out! I've been smoking more (1 cig a day and weed 3 x a week) now than earlier in pregnancy. Now my doc says I'm going to have to get insulin SHOTS because just changing my diet hasn't worked. (I was 110 before preg). I'm also Italian and love my pizza and pasta. So I've been on a DIET too. Low carbs and no dessert. No juice (that's all I usually drink). I actually lost a couple of pounds because of this.

I don't think I can handle the stress without weed. (Also, I noticed by checking my blood that when I'm stressed my sugar levels are more elevated, than by the FOOD I eat.)

Any comments/advice from someone WHO's BEEN THROUGH THIS (please, no insults from those who have no clue what I'm going through...thanks.) ?????
