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,

And thanks for the kind words I do believe that one day I will get to hold both of my babies I have lost when I go to meet my maker.
