marijuana for morning sickness?

First i would like to say i currently do not smoke pot and i am not looking for any harsh judements just some opinons. Ive read in a few placea that marijuwana is good for morning sickness. I did smoke on occasion before i found out i was prego. And i have used it for nausea in the past (motion sickness, the flu) and it definatly worked. I have also read that some doctors recomend or even prescibe it for morning sickness. There is no evidence that it doea any harm to the baby but.a concern would be the fact that smoking anything cant be good, so there is also option of a vaporizer (makea vapor not smoke) or even better eating it. so i am just curious if anyone has had any experience with marijuwana while pregnant.i also have a friend who had a baby a couple years ago, she didnt find out until she was almost 3 months and was smoking weed she didnt quit(doc said it could be stressful on baby) but she did cut down, she smoked the whole pregnancy and there is not a thing wrong with her child, shes almost three and very intelligent. Once again i am not saying i do it or even would i am just looking for some personal experience or some none jugdemental opinions.
Thanks :)

I thibk its so interesting when.people say my friend did it and her baby was fine. Just because children dont look different or act different at 2 or 3 doesnt mean they wont have learning difficulties or other cognitive deficits when they're older. Morning sickness is a part of pregnancy and we just have to deal. I used to smoke big time in college but now that im pregnant I know I wont do anything to.risk anything bad happening to my baby. I get it morning sickness ***** I have lost 15 lbs.during this pregnancy and im only 23 weeks so who knows when the sickness will end. I work and go to grad school full time so I get how hard it can be to function and be sick. As a mom there are things that you're.going to have to suffer through for the sake of your child. Being sick is one of them. It may sound harsh but my opinion is you just need to deal with it and muscle through. talk to your doc if it gets unbearable.

I don't see a problem with it. I smoked throughout part of my pregnancy ( while I was sick) but ive felt fine since I was 12 weeks and my doctor told me my baby is doing great! Growth is great and heart rate is right on track im almost 17 weeks now and have also gained the right amount of weight according to my doctor :) if your comfortable with it then I don't see why not. Its just an herbel plant that has been used for years and I believe its better than some medication produced by a profit driven company

People mix up their facts alot and confuse the effects cigarette smoking has with weed. Cigarettes are known to cause asthma low birth weight and birth defects as well as prematurity. If u look up effects of weed u find their are none known and the closest possibility is adhd but what kid isn't a little hyper from time to time!

I never read about ciggarrette defects cause I never smoke ciggarrettes but. I read about weed and what it said that babies could come on low in weight and a risk of a birth defect...but everyone has their own opinion about I use to smoke kush for a long time cause I had my medical card here. In la but soon as I got pregnaqnt I. Stop yea I would get stress out I couldn't eat but hey my baby health is more important then that...I don't care if my friends or people tell me weed donesnt effect the baby I ain't no follower ama do what's best for me and my lil baby...plus theirs different type of weed theirs regular weed that has no thc  and kush that has thc and could effect differently with all the chemicals in it..but like I said no one is here to judge on anyones opinion everyone is gonna do what they seem is right...
