Edibles?? Facts Opinions

Question

I know there is a lot of controversy when it comes to smoking weed while pregnant, which is understandable. I'm fully aware that SMOKING it can have a negative impact on the baby's lung development in the third trimester. But, what about EATING an edible? a small portion of a brownie or rice crispy treat, etc. does anyone know if that is harmful to a developing baby? Facts? (yes, I know that whatever we eat/drink, our baby consumes as well) (I know smoking anything while pregnant is harmful, but edibles aren't "smoked") (educate me)

Answer

The big problem is that these studies can't really be conducted. First of all, in most places pot has been illegal until very recently. And these studies take years. You have to track development over time. 
Additionally, a lot of women aren't keen on getting high when they're pregnant, for obvious reasons. And the ones who are willing often have other factors that skew results (like smoking, drinking, other drugs etc). 
Having said all of that, is getting high worth risking your child's health? If you do eat pot treats and say your child has something that affects the rest of its life - a learning disability or autism, just examples - are you perfectly fine with that trade off? Can you look in the mirror and think you might have done something that was preventable?
I love drinking. I miss it. I'm not an alcoholic, I just like it. I don't drink because I'm pregnant. It will still be there after the baby is born. That's how I feel about it. Right now my one job is to protect my baby and do everything I can to foster healthy growth. That's my opinion.

Answer

Edibles are a way worse high than when you just smoke, but you shouldn't smoke anything while pregnant, so no.

Answer

But why would you risk it though?

Answer

It's not proven to
Be harmful or not harmful most studies say it's not harmful some say it's not depens on of your doctor gives the ok

Answer

It's fine for other medical purposes, but it's not worth the risk in pregnancy. I mean you're growing a human...

Answer

I think this is one of those things that is not able to be studied the way it needs to be, so it is better to ask a doctor or find one that will work together with you on dosage and effectiveness.

Answer

Why do anything that is risky?  Why flip a coin with your child's health?
Is there some medical condition that you have that requires you to have weed in whatever form?
The majority of women I see who are doing this are just avoiding being uncomfortable.  That's fucking revolting.
However, there have been one or two cases I've learned of on here where they have been at risk for miscarriage due to hg, other pain related pre existing conditions, high blood pressure and after trying everything under the care of their doctor they were allowed edibles for 3-5 weeks.
For those very specific cases I can get behind it. It the test of the morons are like "I used weed all throughout my pregnancy and my kid is awesome and smart".  Those are the ladies that disgust me.  I'm sorry, but you obviously aren't a good judge of intelligence if you're bragging about not giving a fuck about your kid and smoking just because you want to.

Answer

I wouldn't risk it.... because in not 100% on the effects on my baby it doesn't seem worth it and I care a whole lot more about my baby the getting high.

Answer

What you eat also goes to the baby. I wouldn't do it if I was you, I don't really know the impacts of it.
