prenatal ganja?

[daima]

The dean at University of Iowa School of Nursing tells us that if a woman wants to smoke a little cannabis while pregnant to leave her alone. She has been a target of the government because she refuses to buy into the propaganda that cannabis is somehow harmful to the unborn/born. I believe that her name is Melanie Drier. She has done extentsive reasearch on the subject.
My sister-in-law used cannabis during her 3 pregnacies and never a problem. I have known several women in my life who share the same outcome.
I would suggest that because cannabis makes you hungry that you try your best to eat a healthy diet. After all, you are feeding two now and you want the nutrition that you deliver to your baby to be the best possible.

A study completed in Jamaica that forcused on Ganja using parents informed us that parents who used ganja while pregnant, and then continued to use it with their children, were more bonded with their children than the non-ganja using parents, and spent more time reading and doing other activities with their children than non-ganja using parents did. :dance:

smoke it, you'll increase your appitite, which is healthy for the baby, and the pot helps your metabolism speed up, so you wont gain as much weight after the pregnancy.

Education is the answer. I say that we ask congress to pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anyone from learning anything in the usa. If this plan works as good as the drugwar has worked we will have the smartest people on earth in no time.

[QUOTE=bluebunny]This is my first kid, and Iâ??m completely clueless on whether to continue smoking or to quit. I'm not sure if it will harm the baby or not. Someone please help me with my dilemma.[/QUOTE

Let me ask you this.....would you blow hit in your baby's face??

Fuck No! So why would you even consider smoking while pregnant?

[daima]

Blowing smoke in babys face is a different matter. Dont try to hype things up with bill oreilly style tactics here. Let me know if i need to explain the difference to you. You wouldnt be the first uninformed person i have taken by the hand to teach them what they obviously lack.
For you pregnant women out there? Enjoy yourself while pregnant, even if that includes a hit of ganja, daily.

The lady who asked you if you would blow in your babies face will love me after this. She is saying no to pot, but would she say no to cetain meds and rx's during pregnancy just because her doctor said it was ok.

I will tell you this. The best thing you can do for yourself is research. First, find a website like pubmed and some cannabis sights that show research studies. Make sure you see who it was paid for by, and if it is a reliable study (how many people and if they were only smoking pot). 2nd, read through as many as 10-20. Some will be for and some against. What you will find is that most that i read that were against don't have relaible studies (they use various ages, people who smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol) They just aren't specific and the government substitute, is just that. A substitute. It isn't natural and it is man made.

There is nothing harmful in THC itself, that any research has found. It is in the smoke. The more smoke, the less oxygen to yoru baby. Answer, don't smoke a lot. Enough for you to smoke a little toke in the morning to pass morning sickness and a little at night to help with heartrate an sleeping should not have (in my opinion) have any ill effects. The medications they give woman to overcome morning sickness are far more dangerous and can have many terrible side effects.

Do make sure you are eating well. Unfortunately, smoking gave me the munchies and I had to substitute my candy for frozen fruit, or fruit or something creative. Large amounts of sugar, especially at bedtime will possibly lead to blood sugar problems for you and baby.

As for after baby is here. You need to understand that everything you do nursing can sometime be more harmful than when pregnant as youdon't have the placenta to help you filter it out. Drinking alcohol while pregnant isn't a good idea, but in moderation (one or two) is nto as harmful as drinking one or two when nursing. 100% of the alcohol you drink while nursing, goes right to baby.

I am not trying to rub it in, but you don't know a lot about how marijuana can help. For your information, blowing marijuana in your child's face isn't the answer, but can be better than many things we do to our children every day. I baked cookies with MJ oil on a regular basis and it helped with my son's bipolar and ADHD symptoms. We had tried diet change and so many meds he was ready to give up. He got to eat cookies and get Earth's meds at the same time and it reduced his medications by half. People, parents, and pregnant woman, even doctors use it in Tea all the time in Jaimaca and many other countries worldwide.

sam stone
came home
to his wife and family
after serving in the conflict overseas
and the time that he served
had shattered all his nerves
and left a little shrapnell in his knee
and the morphine eased his pain
while the grass grew around his brian
it eased his mind in the hours that he chose
while the kids ran around wearing other peoples clothes

There's a hole in daddys arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothing i suppose :rasta:
