drugs are bad herbs are not drugs
I was on bedrest for 2 pregnancies and was deathly sickk. Never ate and vomitted all day and night. Smoking weed was the only thing that helped. BUT they will test u for it when u give birth and even though my doctor told me to do so, they opened a CPS case because I was positive. So it is a great help but there can be severe consequences. But I wouldn’t have made it through without smoking.and everthing turned out fine they understood why and dropped my case! My daughters are beautiful and extremly smart my first daughter was walking and talking at nine months old!!!
I smoked my entire pregnancy for the “all day long sickness” otherwise i would loose at least a pound a week, never slept, never ate (there was even a time when i threw up stomach acid so often i didnt eat for three days) and was more than legally bitchy to the my husband and two year old boy. I never smoked durning my first pregnancy but was too depressed to care about anything anyway (maybe i should have smoked then too!). of course every pregnancy is different, but my baby girl is super healthy, i think thanks Mary Jane.
Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s safe. Is poison oak safe, what about wild mushrooms? A rattle snake is natural but I don’t go petting one. Just because you can’t see the effects at first doesn’t mean it isn’t harming your body.
I smoked marijuana with both of my pregnancies. I quit smoking cigarettes, didn’t smoke, took most of my prenatal vitamins, and was otherwise “by the book”. I had alot of health problemswith my second pregnancy and even went off of most of my regular prescruibed medicines. Mt gynocoligist knew that I was smoking,I was honest upfront about everything with my gynocolgist, as I encourage every pregnant woman to do, even if you think they wont understand, they will.
Being deathly ill with morning sickness sounds like hyperenemsis gravidarium!!! Make sure you educate yourself on that if you are seriously sick all the time.
My sister about died from morning sickness and it turns out she has ACUTE INTERMITTENT PORPHYRIA, a rare metabolic disease. She thought she had hypernemesis gravidarium, but she really had AIP.
With HG, smoking pot is normal. BUt with AIP, smoking pot can trigger attacks.
Just saying…. educate yourselves before doing anything! :))
I’m thrilled to hear pregnant women are using a medicinal herb provided to us by Mother Earth. Morning sickness will be gone and I promise you will have a nice calm baby. A calm mother makes a calm baby.
There are NO tests saying it causes cancer, birth defects, NOTHING! Alcohol is what should be illegal! Men beat women when they drink, not smoke pot.
I’M VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!!
I did not know that I had cancer when I got pregnant, but I had lived with it for at least 9 years before the first pregnancy and 11 years before the second. I do not believe I would have survived either pregnancy without marijuana. I did try to quit during my second pregnancy, but went from 98 pounds to 92 pounds and felt that the weight loss was a bigger threat to the survival of my child than the marijuana use.
My first trimester I had the most annoying morning sickness and wouldn’t have been able to handle the smell of MJ. Thereafter, I did find it helped w/migraines and later, with my hips. Toward the last trimester, MJ was quite helpful in alleviating hip and joint pains I was experiencing. Since that time, years later, I found that MJ has helped with sciatica, plantar faciitis and migraines. I believe in the medicinal benefits of MJ in relieving some conditions, having experienced its benefits firsthand.
I had extreme morning/24 hr a day sickness with all 3 pregnancies..I was given Zofran,Phenegran and Reglan to start off.I was in the ER 3 times for dehydration.I wound up smoking pot because I couldn’t handle the side effects of the meds. I’m glad I did, it made my days bearable and able to eat to nourish the growing child inside of me.My kids were all born healthy and weighed over 7 pounds..My boy was 8lbs 12ozs. Wouldn’t change a thing.
I am on my third child right now and smoke regularly, why because I lost 60 lbs with my last child due to morning sickness and was showing signs of doing it again. I still have morning sickness, every morning, but that’s it very rarely does it last all day (I work so I don’t smoke while working). I don’t feel like a bad mom I talked to my doctor about it and she said that its better than the pills she gave me BC it has less side effects, it has less side effects then a proven safe for pregnancy pill… Think about that!!
I never heard of this but think it’s bad enough so many teens brag on facebook about smoking pot. I got plenty sick when pregnant with daughter and she was 8lbs 9oz and also doing very well in school and I didn’t get stoned to cope. Sounds like a lot of addicts looking for an excuse to not get a damn about anyone but themselves.
mImI23, you said it!!!! A bunch of weak women using a little sickness as an excuse to do their drugs! Pathetic isnt it?
i come from a zero tolerance state, and have been against “drugs” my whole life. i’ve seen even what MARIJUANA can do to a person who abuses it. i personally think smoking anything is wrong during pregnancy. while i was blessed with little to no morning sickness, i’ve had friends who got so sick they couldn’t get off the couch for months. what did they do? NOTHING. they dealt with it like us women should. who are blessed with giving life to this world.
my two cents: don’t smoke while you are pregnant. just because you had one healthy baby doesn’t mean somewhere else someone is having a baby that will later develop a learning disability or something of the sort.
Now that would have made my pregnany with my twin daughters much more fun.
i am totally for smoking pot i quit when i was pregnant with my kids because i thought it was bad for them. If i would have known my second pregnancy was horrible i couldn’t eat anything and i had horribles stretching pain. I see how smoking would have helped. I wish i would have done it for that one maybe my son wouldn’t be so energized all the time!lol! I think smoking is ok i am a stay at home mom and it is so stressful that sometimes i need to mellow out. So i say good for you to all those moms i know how you feel
Any doctor that would suggest that a woman should smoke pot while pregnant to relieve morning sickness should have their license revoked, and should be prosecuted for child abuse along with the mother! Thousands of babies are born addicted to illegal drugs every day, and for those who survive, they have to go through extreme physical withdrawal. If a woman can’t handle morning sickness, even if it is 24/7, then maybe she should think twice about getting pregnant. In my opinion, morning sickness is the least of the worries of a pregnant woman. And yes, I had severe “morning sickness”, which ended up being gall stones and resulted in surgery, so I know how bad morning sickness can get, but I would NEVER subject my unborn baby to the health risks of smoking pot, no matter how sick I was!

WELL SAID!
The idea of smoking an illegal drug while pregnant is absolutely ridiculous. You should be ashamed.
