I gotta say, my morning sickness(or all day as I experienced), was so horrible if my Doc recommended the pot I would have done jumped on it. A hit of marijuana can not be any worse than a glass of wine which I know many Docs say is OK.

If you think you are woman enough to raise a child you sure should be string enough to handle morning sickness my wife did and nothing helped her but you know, she was willing to put up with it because thats what pregnant woman have done for many centuries.
Pathetic!

So I think it is just fine to have a little MMj (medical Marijuana) when pregnant as long as it is medical grade, but I do not believe smoking of any kind is ok when pregnant or at all…. I would sugest an edible (medical infused products) or a tincture… the effects last a lot longer with out the horrible smoke!

Can’t be healthy. Period. I was sick my whole first trimester - it’s part of pregnancy.
This article will undoubtedly serve as the justification & reinforcement that some are looking for.

to each to own, whos to say what right for another person, weed is a god given plant, cigarettes are legal and have how many added toxins in them?! Genetically altered foods and animals pumped full of hormones are fed to us daily without thought by most, at least weed is natural.

Many things are “natural” or growing in the wild, as some earlier posts mention. Haven’t we learned that natural does not = safe and effective, particularly during pregnancy? I was hospitalized because I could not keep down even a teaspoonful of liquid during my first pregnancy. My child is very bright, but I think that is an effect of having a stable home life with educated, drug-free parents who would not *dream* of exposing their children to rubbish such as this. When your children grow up and hate you for turning them into bums, hey, you can look back at your momlogic posts and tell them how they totally harshed your mellow with that code orange level nausea.

So I have used marijuana to curb nausea during my last pregnancy.. It helped TREMENDOUSLY.. I am currently pregnant and have had no sickness and really no desire to smoke.. What I would like to say is this:

Pharmaceuticals are CONSTANTLY being recalled, lawsuits CONSTANTLY on TV, people becoming ill and dying because of side effects… I have had a friend DIE from side effects.. a grandmother that takes different pharmaceuticals to help ease the side effects of a pharma she is already taking..

Marijuana.. No reported deaths or side effects.(unless you have an allergic reaction but in no way will result in death).. Studies done in a country where it is used by women religiously (Jamaica) showed that the not only were the children born a little more advanced during testing but also were more well adjusted.. and eventually it leveled out to where NO difference could be seen by those who were exposed during pregnancy and those that weren’t.. Can you say that about a child exposed to pharmaceuticals while in the womb.. I think not.. man made chemical poisons or a natural herb no more harmful to an unborn than raspberry leaf..

Just saying!

I smoked pot until I found out at 8 weeks that I was pregnant. I stopped smoking through the rest of months 2-5, except for the occasional hit, after doing extensive research, until I developed kidney stones in my 6th month. I was given Percocet, Vicodin, and then when neither of those worked, Morphine. I was hospitalized for a week on a Morphine drip while my daughter was constantly being monitored. I was discharged after a week, but I still passed pieces of stones for the next week, causing me excruciating pain. The pain pills they sent me home with did nothing, so I called up a friend who brought me instant relief in the form of marijuana.

My daughter is now 5 years old, and has been in tip-top health since the day she was born at 7 lbs, 8 oz, and has so far tested above average for her age in school.

omg, some ridiculous statements and conclusions!

How could anyone listen to and take seriously statements like:

“I used [marijuana] during one of my pregnancies,” commented Mom of 2. “My kid is super smart, quick, funny, charming and healthier than the one I didn’t smoke with.”

Smoking anything is unhealthy, full stop. Using a vaporiser or eating it is a hundred times safer. To smoke when pregnant is absolutely crazy. So naive to think otherwise.

(I work in the medical cannabis field)

Do your own research people and use some common sense.

You know, I really hate it when people talk about what’s “right for you” be/c it implies there is no right or wrong - only what’s “right for you.” Not true. And that’s great for all of you that cannot discern any negative effects from smoking your pot while pregnant, but it’s also super irritating that you all are making it sound like it’s the best, most desirable way to have an allegedly above-average child. Also NOT true. I, too had morning and/or all day sickness with my pregnancies, so it’s not like I have no idea how hard it is. If you are considering doing that, consider where to draw the line with what illegal activities you feel are “right for you.” Consider how you talk to your kids about drugs later in life. Do you tell them illegal drugs are bad… except for when you are really sick…or need more energy… or want an escape from reality… or want to have fun and fit in with the crowd? Where is the line?
