Smoking Pot while Pregnant

I know none of you are Doctors and this is a touchy subject, but looking for your opinions on smoking pot while pregnant.

Do you think having a puff here and there is alright?  

If you have nothing but rude remarks, please keep them to yourself.

Thanks!

I live in the USA and smoked my whole first pregnancy BC I have bipolar/depression and clinical anxiety. I didn't tell my midwife. They tested him after birth and called child services. They asked me if any other drug was also in my system. I said no. They called my midwife to check my facts were correct about mental disorders. I was on zoloft which did NOTHING. child services then called my baby's Dr to see he's healthy. Nothing happened w child services. They never investigated but the stress worry and guilt wasn't worth it. So I'm now pregnant with my second child. I plan on telling my midwife that I use for medical reasons and see what she has to say about quitting marijuana but not taking other drugs that they say may or may not harm my baby. My sons thirteen mo, he's months ahead of others in millstones sleeps all night has from day 9 after birth. No both defects or asthma or any ******** they feed u about weed being harmful. Its not period. And all the judgmental bitchy moms saying u don't care about ur child obviously hasn't researched the fact that Jamaican studies show children born to weed smoking mothers do Better in every category. Results of issues in the study could be unrelated to weed and just happen by chance. Its not going to hurt the baby. It will help pregnancy symptoms and ppl are sadly misinformed and scared away from this forever used medication which is natural and not man made

Look up melanie dreher study it is the only study that has been done on marijuana use during pregnancy that does not include the use of tabacco, alcohol or other controlled substances. I think you will find it very helpful and informative. The study was done on women during pregnancy and then follows the children 5 years after birth and the results are pretty interesting
