Marijuana and Pregnancy

[Jessica9071]

I live in San Bernardino CA.Im 29wks pregnant and STILL havnt quit smoking.Ive tried numerouse times and was hospitalized due to excessive vomiting.I lost weight.I couldnt eat or drink ANYTHING.The drs tryed giving me a bunch of diffrent vomiting pillls they did not work.Im only able to eat and drink if i smoke weed.
Ive beeen smoking forever.My pregnancy was def not plannned.I was on birthcontrol when i got pregnant.I reallly have been trying to quit especially the last few weeeks with no luck.
Whats going to happen when i deliver.?My cousin and aunt have both told me they had their kids test pos for marijuana at birth and they had only sent a cps worker to thwir house to make sure it was clean and they had foood.And just closed case then and their.
But is their any other females that have gone thru this process.?Am i the only one who cant stop smoking out their.?

Put your child first and put the weed down.

I too have been severely sick with this being my second pregnancy. Ive also smoked marijuana for years& still do now so i can eat, drink& sleep at night. I have to go through the day without it due to working& thank god zofran helps when im at work. I know individuals who have smoked marijuana during pregnancy but stop around 6 months so it has time to flush out their system before birth because they most likely will drug test you& the baby. Sometimes i feel bad doing it but then i think of if i didn't smoke then i wouldn't be able to eat so unborn wouldn't get any nutrients or grow healthy. So there are always pros and cons with any situation. I hope you situation gets better but i would definitely stop a month or two before delivery so you won't have to go through any additional stress when baby is born! Good luck momma!

I quit smoking weed as soon as I found out, it wasn't easy at first but it can cause birth defects I'm not trying to be judgemental.. but try to quit for the sake of your baby.

My sister is a soc. Worker for cps and I asked her if my baby would be removed if tested pos. for weed and she said they wouldn't waste their time!  Weed is less harmful then not eating during pregnancy in my opinion;)

If my boyfriend just nutted in me Friday .. when should I take my pregnant test ?

[sophia_mommy]

The ones saying u will go through withdraws are crazy and have no clue about it so u can keep ur opinions to ur self cuz u sound dumb.

I agree with the last comment. we reallydon't know what side effects this week cause a child but I are that smoking it is much worse it raises your bp, and your baby's. Try breathing through a small straw for even 30 seconds. It is very hard. That is how you're baby feels when you smoke. Consider your baby and get through these short months. There are many ways to get through the sickness even naturally and make sure you get plenty to sleep to start With, and keep some cracks by your bed wake up and eat then first thing. I find that I'm more sick when I have an empty stomach sui eat small meals and there are some suckers if you like candy called preggie pops made of ginger that really helps.

I think its ridiculous.. doing anything to harm a helpless child. Weed is not addictive.. only to the weak minded. Ive been smoking normal cigarettes for years before getting pregnant and I quit cold turkey the day I found out. Yes I have horrible morning sickness with no apatite at all. Yes ive lost weight do to vomiting.. its called being PREGNANT for goodness sakes. I would never turn to anything that would harm my baby just to make myself feel better. Take some responsibility and get some will power..

Jessica, did you try cutting doewn a little? How is that working for you?

[ChezMoyo]

Even smoking normal cigarettes is bad. Each one takes oxygen away from your baby for one hour. Imagine what your smoking is doing. I would put up with forcing food down and being sick for the sake of my child

That's selfish for taking drugs while you're pregnet. I hope cps those take you're baby from you.

Im 26 weeks and still smoking weed also. I also can not eat or drink without smoking. I tried and same thing happened to me. It also happened during my first pregnancy and i had stopped for a week but lost alot of weight during that week. My son was not toke or tested. Good luck!!

And i live in northern california, east bay, and i had my baby through Kaiser

Jessica, with my first child i had the same issue. Except i came up positive and after i had the baby they brought in a social worker. She told me that if the baby came up positive then i would not be  taking my baby home. I would suggest if u want to keep your baby look into an alternative medication for hunger. Or maybe try just sitting near other people smoking it and see if it induces hunger.

I've been debating having a few puffs myself, but haven't yet. I'm 5 weeks. I took myself off my Prozac, lorazepam, smoking cigarettes, and weed, eating healthier, and now going thru hormonal mood swings. I have ok.days and horrible horrible days. No nausea, but hardly sleeping. I'm not sure if it's from withdrawal of the meds, cigarettes or weed, or if it's just hormonal.
My fiance still smokes and I get very mad and jealous. He doesn't understand why. I've given up so much to have our baby, I wish he would too to support me.
I'm too scared to have.a.few puffs... There's no evidence of good or bad on the baby.
Frustrated as hell tho over here!!!

This topic is personal to me since I have 4 kids and I smoke nightly for insomnia. But when a pregnancy happens my motherly instinct kicks in and I find it super easy to stop. Be a mother from day one my love. You would never allow your child to smoke a joint would you? Same difference . Stop now and prove to your baby you love it more than weed. We all suffer for our children and it starts with the pregnancy.

I had gh with my first child I was beyond sick I had quite smoking the day I found out I was pregnant.... by 4months I was 4 pant sizes under what I ever weighted.... food was no option ice was about it.... then my doctor asked me to try to smoke just a very little...... it was amazing the differnece I went within a month I was at a normal pregnancy weight the baby was growing much faster..... As for today I have an amazing three year old boy with an iq of a 10 year old.... I found out monday im exspecting my second... the doctor cleared me for another medical card to save on the troubles. Best thing u can do is what u feel is best for yourself n child... n be honest when asked

[Jessica9071]

To everyone else.THANK YOU.For not being rude and so judgemental.I really appreciate it.And thank you alll for the advice.

[Jessica9071]

I feel bad for you.Your judging someone for reaching out for advice and help.Obviously your children will be put down and judged if they were to ever be in a situation lik this or similar and try to come to you for help and or guidence.And for that I feel bad for YOUR CHILDREN.

[Nine2Mine]

That is so sad. I feel really sorry for that baby. How unfair for the poor innocent baby.

I live in ca. And as long as you can come out slean when they test you. You have nothibg to worry about. People don't understand hoe it makes you feel when you can't eat or drink anything like me. Weed was the only thing that got me to eat. I wouldn't get high off of it just till I felt better. I rather do that then take pills. Ur baby does not come out with withdrawals. I did more.than enough research and I'm almost due and my baby is healthy and active. At I just make sure I stop 7 days before my next appt

[luckymommy13]

In the beginning of my pregnancy i couldn't eat or nothing unless i smoked. The farther along i got the less i did it and now not at all. The smell of it makes me sick now. I'm feeling a lot better since I'm not smoking now. I couldn't just stop cold Turkey but i slowly stopped. Good luck
