I have heard...

I have been hearing since I became preganat that smoking weed is not harmful to the fetus. I would like to know if this is true or false??

[heatherlynn22]

i have to say false. you never know what is laced into the marijuana. (in my area there is NEVER "clean" marijuana) not to mention it's an unnecessary risk to the baby as ashelen said. sure there maybe a few women who were irresponsible and smoked during their pregnancy and had healthy babies but do you want to possibly have a baby with serious problems? my mom was a smoker (cigarettes and marijuana) when she got pregnant with me...as soon as she found out she quit.

just remember whatever goes in you goes STRAIGHT to that baby.

I'm sorry but I feel that you got very lucky. Even though, yes, weed is not as bad as cigarettes, introducing anything unnecessary to your baby is a huge risk. While it's not the worst thing you could introduce, it is not necessary and you're taking a chance every time you add something unnecessary/potentially harmful to your unborn baby. May I ask why you chose to smoke while pregnant? Did you have HG?

I have a 3 year who can count to 1-15, knows the alphabets, and can read and a 2 year quickly behind him and I smoked weed. I, myself have an i.q of 137 which is nothing to laugh at, my mother smoked while pregant with me. Its a personal choice and in my opinion ciggarettes are by far more dangerous. Legalize it already.

I would also have to agree that it is FALSE. I have not heard that smoking anything is good for any pregnancy. The way I see it is that if I will not feed it to my baby/young child, then I will not feed it to myself while preg. :)

I think that some ladies here have jumped to conclusions that DEE is smoking pot. I think it is important to not make judgment comments directed at someone - especially since she did not say that she was smoking the pot. Perhaps she was asking for a friend or because she heard others talking about it.

Who cares if its good or bad? since its not addictive you don't need it, and even if it was you don't need it.

Sorry, that last post was in response to missty38...^^

in response to DEE21090::::: No. do not smoke pot during your pregnancy. I mean, seriously? It's a drug, even if it "is just an herb". Like JillyHemp said, I'm sure many women have done that, but I don't think their babies turned out the brightest crayons in the box.
