@ rosiev323, did you tell your ob you were smoking pot, or did you lie to them? Last I heard taking any drugs or alcohol is not safe during pregnancy, also if smoking pot is okay, then is drinking alcohol okay? Drugs + alcohol = bad mom, so you going to tell your child, oh I smoke pot with you, because hey I love my drugs over you. Crazy.

I guess that's the problem, unless you have another baby at the exact same time that you didn't smoke with you'll never be able to compare them and see the difference. And unless you look into the future with the child you did smoke with you'll never know the full damage that has been done. What we do know is the risks are so high that it is strongly not recommended to the point where its worth investigating to see if intervention by the government is needed to give that child the best chance in life.

Rosiev323 you should be thankfull for giving birth to healty kids when U put their life in danger wile they were in U. If I give birth to healty kids while taking drugs, does that make drugs under pregnancy ok..or make me thing..well it didnt do any harm with my first so its ok for my second. If U even smoke in the same room as a child almost every day from they were young till their 10 year old. Please go to the doc and she how black their lung has become. Their damage can come when they are older to.

Are you worried about baby's health or friend getting in trouble?? Smoking isnt good for babies. Point-blank-period. Some kids are born okay, but some are born premature, asthmatic, or with cognitive/development issues. Its not worth the risk.

That doesn't make any sense y start half way through pregnancy? I don't want to accuse her of lying I mean I don't know her obviously lol just from an outside view didn't make I smoked pot for several years. Quit when I found out I was pregnant which was like 4 1/2 weeks when I was 21. And I can't figure out if you v didn't do it before y start now?

most likely, her system will.be clean but the baby's will not, as they test babies first poop which I believe goes all the way back to about 12_15 weeks gestation.
