I dont believe its hurts the baby at all. (occasional smoking weed). But! Cps will investigate and or possibly take your baby if you test positive. Not worth it.  Normally i smoke pretty much everyday, i quit months ago, and i crave it all the time. I wouldnt give in tho. Resume toking after the baby is born.

i smoked for health reasons. i have an issue digesting food and it will sit and harden causing me to throw up. it also causes me to have no apitite. my Dr is an old time doc and when i asked him if there was anything i could do to help with being able to not eat his exact words to me were "smoke pot... not that im condoning it but there have been instances where the pros out weigh the cons" i had lost over 30lbs and had not gained any of it back. so i did start smoking every once in awhile when i had gone long periods without eating or keeping things down(even zofran wasnt helping) but i made the choice that bc i am now in my 3rf trimester i wont be smoking any more. mainly for the simple fact that 1 i dont want to risk her turning up positive for it when shes born and 2 i dont want her to have ay withdraws. with that being said i ONLY  smoked bc of the medical issues and had i not had them i wouldnt have done it at all bc there really has not been enough studys done on the effects it can have on the baby.

LISTEN...IT MAY OR MAY NOT HURT THE BABY. A PUFF OR TWO WONT BUT AT SOME POINT A PUFF OR TWO WILL TURN BACK INTO REGULARLY. WHEN U GIVE BIRTH, WHEN THEY TAKE YOUR BABY TO GET CLEANED THEY WILL TEST THAT BABY FI R DRUGS. IF IT COMES BACK POSITIVE DHS WILL TAKE YOUR BABY SO PLEASE BE STRONG

** wasn't finished!!

I don't want later on down the road to have to ask for someone to buy my baby something because I choose to spend it on weed. Now, I know many people who have smoked occasionally with their children and they are doing just fine, actually are really smart. But personally my choice was to give it up.. do I still have those cravings? I will admit yes but its just the matter Id telling myself - is it worth it - and for me the answer is no. You have to choose for yourself and your baby if you want to if you want to smoke weed while you are pregnant. But there is nothing that PROVES it will harm your baby besides the smoke, can put the baby at higher risk for asthma when older. Hope this helped.

I used to smoke weed everyday, multiple times a day. When I fohndoht I was pregnant I stopped smoking. And only did it once after that because people were tempting me, it freaked me out with all the things going on. I just decided it wasn't good for mW or my baby and was honestly a waste of money. I haven't smoked since like the 20th of August and now I can sit around people(doesn't happen often!!) Who smoke while their smoking without thinking "I need that" yes I think it would be nice but I look at it like this.... every 20 bag I go get is 20 less dollars I could spend on my son. And being so worried about money as it is

I smoked multiple times a day everyday before I fiund out I was pregnant when I found out I stopped smoking right off the back. It was hard, way harder than having to stop smoking cigs I still think about weed a lot but my daughter is more important and I don't want to do anything that would hurt her, as mothers we are the one person in the world that would give our lives to protect our children and I believe that starts at conseption.

You will get alot of negative responses for asking this question lol but i do it every now and then and my kids are healthy smart and growing how they should be. It made my pregnancy much less stressful for me.. if you do decide to do it i wouldnt tell anyone because people can and probably will report you. Theres no concrete evidence that makes it dangerous except if its laced with something. If a dr suspects drug use when u deliver they can drug test you and the baby and get cps involved. Idk if that is a risk you would be willing to take but smoking it can be harmful maybe try eating a brownie or something to avoid the smoking part

I smoked weed regularly before I found out but since I have stopped yea I crave for it but I think of my baby health no it doesn't cause miscarriages because weed is only a plant but the smoke can affect ur baby weed is technically the only safe drug no matter how many non weed smokers try to argue I have done many papers n research on it but I don't want any smoke affecting my baby so I quit completely for her safety now that ur pregnant u have to think more then just your habits u have to think about ur baby health

I wouldnt risk it.. I lost two babies and Im pregnant with my third Im now 34+1 and feel blessed I have made it this far.. I have a cerclage in that is literally tearing my cervix apart I went to L and D yesterday and I refused to get it removed bc I dont want her to be born this early.. I wouldnt sacrifice the health of you're baby just bc you like to smoke pot.. when you have the baby you can go back to doing what u like! I know you can do it! best of luck to you!

I would google this but as smoking harms your baby I dont see why weed wouldn't. You really have to think of your babys health now and not about weed. Baby's are blessings.
