I smoked pot every day until I found out I was preggo. I quit cold turkey for like 5 days and then insomnia punched me in the face. Didnt sleep for 3 days. so I hit the bowl and went right to sleep. Since then ive hit the bowl a few more times over about 3 weeks. I was wondering if anyone had first hand experience smoking weed while they were pregnant and what it did for them? any affects on the baby? And I KNOW smoking anything isnt good for u or the child so I DONT WANT TO HEAR IT, UNLESS U HAVE PERSONNEL EXPERIENCE. thank u. I knoe quite a few women who smoked weed during their pregnancy and their children are just fine..and some older ladies at my work swear that a bowl a day keeps the ralphing away lol

Research the stuff online because your going to get a lot of diff opinions on here.... hope u make the right choices dear
A dealer of mine back in the day smoked throughout both of her pregnancies. One had extreme ADHD that was uncontrollable with medication and the other was in an out of psychs in an attempt for diagnosis. When I last picked up from her they were talking about a possible schizophrenia or schizoaffective diagnosis....the little girl could have been no older than 5 or 6.
There is no conclusive data so why even take the chance? They barely know what the longterm effects are in adults, let alone the influence to an unborn, developing fetus. A study just released maybe a year or two ago—maximum—linked chronic weed smoking with higher chance of schizophrenia...coincidence from what I've witnessed personally? I think not.
If I were you I would quit altogether. The longterm effects of doing so are MUCH more beneficial than your short-term relief is now. A relatively short period of insomnia vs. a lifetime of potential physical or mental health risks for your child...which are you willing to risk? Imo if you even have to ask that question then maybe it is not time yet for you to be a mother.
I smoked ½-¾ of an 8th a day for years... you CAN quit cold-turkey, I know from first-hand experience. I had bouts of bad insomnia, but you DO pull through it. Some sleep medications are safe in moderation during pregnancy. Call your doctor to talk about them to help get you on a sleep routine.
Also try taking warm baths/showers right before bed. Sometimes background noise helps too.
also try keeping your room cool but your bed warm. These are all things I did to fall asleep.
Good luck and I wish the best for your baby and you as well.
