Is it bad to smoke marijuana during pregnancy I'm curiorus. I need an honest answer. I heard it is not that bad because it reverses nauseua?

Yes, it's bad.

Even worse if you continue to smoke once baby is born.

Here's a link I think you should read.

Is it safe to smoke marijuana during pregnancy? | BabyCenter

Research shows that smoking marijuana while pregnant can cause long term mental defects on a fetus. But seeing as how marijuana is illegal anyway it would be the smart, responsible decision to NOT smoke while you are pregnant. Also think of the example you will set for your child.

Okay just asking, but in my opinion drinking while pregnant is worse then smoking because how many deaths have you heard happen from drinking.. a lot.. and smoking 0, none, zip, zero.

How old are you?

You're kidding, right?

Smoking causes more deaths then drinking, do the research, you'll be shocked!

Second hand smoke, first hand smoke. Ever heard of lung cancer? Do you know how many people die from lung cancer every year?

If you're talking about the death of a fetus, drinking and smoking both cause problems to the fetus, sadly most of the effects aren't noticed until after the child is born.

If you're thinking either or, then don't get pregnant. No smoking, no drinking, not if you want what's best for your unborn child. It's only 9 months, certainly you can stay away from drugs for that long. :mad:

Why would you do something that could harm your baby? If you can't be responsible enough to make healthy decisions for your baby then you should'nt be having unprotected sex. I know you don't even know if you are pregnant but if you find out you are then I hope you can stay away from drugs and alcohol. You really should think about getting on some kind of birth control.

Altenweg: Age has nothing to do with this. And if you could read I was talking about MARIJUANA, deffinatly not ciggarrets. I DO NOT drink by the way.(alcoholism runs in the family not my thing)
And if I'm pregnant I deffinatly wouldn't smoke ciggarretes But, yes like I said deaths caused by alcohol a lot. Marijuana. Zero,0, none. So what's more dangerous. And if marijuana is used for medical reasons, helpful for nauseua and deff not harmful to me? No scientist can prove its bad for a person to smoke it. Did you know that the reason that scientist say marijuana causes brain cell loss is because the put a gas mask on a monkey and blew 60 jays worth of weed in to the monkeys lungs. I bet that would hurt a monkey. I'd love to meet a human who can take that in one hit. Its impossible. Hmm there's a movie you should watch called "the union".


Both of you how can doing something that does not harm me harm a baby?

Fine, do it, when your baby has long term health defects don't come crying to us.

It's illegal for a reason, think about that.

And yes, your age has everything to do with it, because you're obviously not old enough to think about anyone but yourself.

I really hope you're not pregnant, because I already feel sorry for this baby.

I have to wonder why you asked the question if you already think you know the answer.

They already have.

And it's illegal.

Did I say I would? I'm not an addict I can quit for 9 months.
(its impossible to be an addict for weed no withdrawl symptoms)

But answer me this if marijuna can be used for a ton of things not just medical then why is it so bad, people don't die off weed. Ever.

If you're not going to smoke it then why ask?

Did you read the link I posted?

Why not ask you OB what he/she thinks.

It's your body, your baby, your decision, we can give you the truth, the answers, but only you can follow our advice.

Good luck.

First of all, you may not get morning sickness when pregnant. I never had it with two pregnancies. The women I know who had morning sickness didn't suffer much or very long. It's over with in two months, if that.

If any OB gives out marijuana prescriptions for morning sickness, he needs his head examined. There is absolutely no reason for pain meds during morning sickness. The ways to avoid it or to lessen it are simple and don't involve hurting the baby or doing something illegal.

Umm. Its not harmful. That's why they can give it to them because it reverses nasuea.

I'd like to see proof of your claim that doctors prescribe illegal drugs for morning sickness.

If you're looking for someone to tell you "Sure! It's ok! Go ahead!" then I don't think you're going to have much luck.

Plenty of women have smoked marijuana while they were pregnant. Plenty of those children were born OK (so far). But why would you want to take a chance that your child wouldn't be one of the OK ones? If (God forbid) your child was born with a birth defect would you want to spend the rest of your life knowing that it might not have happened if you didn't get stoned while you were pregnant?

Getting high while pregnant is one of the most incredibly selfish things you can do. When your desire to get high outweighs your desire to do the best possible things you can do for your child, then it means that you're not ready to have a baby.

If you're nauseous, eat a cracker.

Hello joker:

Couple things... Inhaling the smoke can't be doing you any good. Plus, if you get caught, it's going to be real bad... However, having said that, marijuana hasn't been proven to do any harm, to anyone, pregers or not.

excon

Aside from the evidence that has already been given to you.
In New York they are doing placenta tests when mothers give birth and if there are any toxins (drugs) present in the placenta,the child is placed in the CPS system.A person could lose their child as a result.

Why would you risk the health of your child for a buzz?

You don't know what other drugs the weed may have been laced with and ,is it REALLY worth the risk?

Smoking anything in pregnancy deprives the fetus of oxygen,causing low birth rate which in turn can cause other problems at birth and after.

Infections,respiratory distress,and the list goes on.

There are numerous medical potentials for pot,I agree but just as you would not give a baby an antidepressant ,you should not expose them to weed.

Antidepressants are helpful but not for everyone!

It's NOT illegal in california.
Geez I hate repeating myself. That would be the reason I said if its not illegal there why here? Why is it bad here if its not bad there?
