Pregnancy and Addiction

[Ayla_J]

Hello,
I know that marijuanna is horribly bad for your baby, or so I believe.
But I have been smoking marijuanna for two years now, and I did not know I was pregnant til a week ago,and I am 7wks along. Im really worried about my babys health and well being, and Im trying my best to deal with this addiction.
I tried to quit cold turkey, but I was too sick to go to work, and I need to keep my job or I have nothing to offer my baby, so I ended up smoking a bat *one hitter, equaling one puff* just to help me cope..
I have done this three times this week, which is a real big cut back on my behalf and if I was just quitting I would be so proud of myself, but instead I am so upset and depressed because I am trying my best, and If I dont do this gradual cut down, I wont even eat anything, I just throw it up...is this wrong to do, and if it is what do i do!!! I am so worried about my baby, I hope everything is okay and I just want a healthy baby...
I had a miscarriage over a year ago, and I knew I was pregnant right away, and I stopped smoking completely right away but I never had this bad sickness feeling of which I am dealing with this time, so I hope you understand and please help....
Im so desperate for helpful advice, and I dont need anyones negativity, at this point I need sensitivity and understanding to help me and my baby.
Thank You,

no probs, i am just hormonal..lol. and I was really really stressed out and worried about everything, and i did not have enough faith in myself when i first blogged, but this site has really helped me out ALOT. sometimes it just takes talking to other strong woman and getting some good advice and help to pull ya through...i dont have many people, just basically a couple friends who are not true friends i know, and my fiance....and i just really want to show my baby a good example on life and make sure my baby does NOT go down the same paths I have...im young, but believe me I have gone through tons...and my confidence is pretty low sometimes so I take offences easily, because I know Im a good person, just dealing with a big plate....God is on my side, I will be able to do whatever I put my mind too, and now im starting to clean up I feel better with each minute. Thank you so much!

My bad...  my fingers typed faster than my brain.  Hey, really, in the other bulletin, I'm happy for you that you are having less symptoms of coming off the stuff.  The way you were acting in the beginning of this whole blog, made me think you might have been doing something else.  But, with the time that has elapsed, you seem more clear-headed and calmer.  I'll make this excuse, my job gets in the way of my thoughts...  I guess you can say that sometimes I'm a burned out medic... I see it and help it all alike...  so, I'm sorry for stepping out where I shouldn't have.

since when did marijuana have physical effects?  You sure it's not a different illegal drug you're talking about?
