  • I'm honestly sick and tired of the "I did it/someone I know did it and the baby was fine" reasoning. Back when our grandmothers/great grandmothers were pregnant alot of babies were born fine with the mothers taking thalidomide. HA! turned out that it caused alot of genetic birth defects some that are still showing up in current generations. Also alot of genetic defects or health problems in general don't show up right away,

    I'm not talking about the mothers who are ACTUALLY TRYING to give up smoking, eating or drinking things or the ones that HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE DOCTOR TO smoke/eat/drink/whatever. I'm not even talking about the mommy who slips up and makes a mistake, sometimes that Bologna and cheese sandwich forces itself on you.
  • WOW really?
  • @conreeaght.... You are so right. I know someone (which I now dispise since finding this out.....) That smoked weed thru her pregnancy. She tells everyone the dr told get it was ok cause she only weighed 98 lbs and had bad morning sickness and it was either that or lose the baby. What the f$@#? A dr told you to smoke weed for therapy whole pregnant?! Are you f ing insane!

    In states that smoking medical grade weed is legal SOME doctors have been saying that it is okay, atleast according to internet land so I'm not 100% on it. Also medical grade and the stuff you can just buy off the street are different. So if a doctor says to the person in question to go ahead and do it then cool, but using that reasoning for everyone to do it isn't a good idea.

    Example:
    My doctor told me small (slightly more then normally recommended for prego women) amounts of caffeine was okay for my last pregnancy due to the very bad headaches I was getting, she even prescribed me a pill with caffeine in it to take on really, really bad days.

    However my friend, who is pregnant and sees a different doctor in a different state, is having bad headaches I told her what my doctor told me so she asked her doctor about it. Her doctor said that she should absolutely not have caffeine.
  • To me caffeine is alot different then smoking weed a few times a day (she's not pregnant anymore and states she still needs it due to inability to maintain weight and keep down food) Coffee is legal....pot isn't. Not to mention the fact the poor baby was born at term and weighed less than five pounds....and now is two and developmentally slow. Shame on any doctor who tells a mother its okay to do drugs while pregnant. And shame on the mother who listens!

    Not trying to start anything, just a fact, but I live in Washington state and if you are anorexic or bulimic you can get a medical marijuana prescription. You can also get it for other things like cancer, AIDS, or glaucoma.

    For the record, I don't agree with smoking it while pregnant, just in case. I used to be a pothead and you never know if the stuff you buy from a dealer (I don't have a prescription) is gonna be a snowball (cocaine added to the weed). Plus my hubby would kick my butt if I smoked while pregnant!
  • @victoriab I'm in california and we have the same thing. I agree smoking while pregly is bad!
  • I smoke cigs. Which is bad enough. But to do pot or drink????
