Smoking while pregnant?

Question

So I am just genuinely curious, and please everyone no judgement here, have any of you moms smoked while pregnant? And no, I’m obviously not talking about cigarettes. If any of you moms have smoked marijuana during pregnancy or had edibles or used CBD oil, how did it turn out? Any effects on the baby? How is your baby now? I’m really really curious and would like to know how it is/ how it went. Thanks!

Answer

I’m a labor and delivery nurse and I see a lot of moms have babies with low birth weight that smoke. Also have had fetal demises and preterm labor. Everything you do goes to your baby so I don’t see the point in risking it. Also, legal in your state or not (it is where I live) we are required to call CPS after delivery.

Answer

It’s not safe for the baby and once pregnant it’s all about having a healthy baby not contributing to potential issues.

Answer

I know two people who smoked weed in their pregnancies. Both their babies were born with low birth weights. One had to be induced early as the baby wasn’t progressing. For me I don’t see any benefits for the child so it’s something I’m strongly against. It’s also illegal where I’m from anyway.

I did it with my first up until 6months I’m not a a big smoker but DOCTOR did recommend I smoke a tad bit just to make me eat because I wasn’t gaining and neither was baby she was born perfectly healthy and weight 5lb2oz and I have done it occasionally this pregnancy being as though I lost over 40 pounds and needed to gain again as far as what it does to baby it doesn’t really affect my daughter sometimes she’ll be sleep sometimes she’s up and we’re eating 😂😂 but to each its own everyone has their own thoughts and opinions on it mamas ! Just do what you feel ok with 💗 btw I’m 34w3days now and baby is right on track measuring a week ahead this time

Answer

I had 2 friends who smoked while pregnant one baby came out pretty healthy , another at 32 weeks 3 lbs 7 oz (I felt so bad for him he was shaking non stop for hours 🥺). Girl you want to smoke OK smoke . I’m personally not judging you or anyone, you grown person and know what you doing.

This topic always gets heated. You should visit the cannamoms group.

Answer

I smoked for like 3 days (we were on vacation) and nothing happened but a good high and feeling relaxed. Doctors still say babys healthy. I really don't see anything wrong with it, I'd just let your doctor know

Answer

My sister smoked with 2 of her 3 pregnancies. Both babies made it full term and weighed good. They were both good babies, calm. They learned quickly and are so smart! There's a jamaican study on marijuana and breastfeeding. It was said that in the study they followed pregnant mothers through there pregnancies and did yearly follow ups until age of 5. The babies who had smoking moms were developmentally ahead and had more outgoing personalities. They can't have a controlled study on pregnant women in America for the same reason they can't test any vaccine on pregnant women its unethical since it's illegal but I'm sure in the future when its legal they'll start doing some studies with willing participants 😊

Answer

I'd also like to add that she started smoking because her morning sickness was so bad she could barely move from the toilet and she didn't want to take the meds because one is linked to birth defects so she didn't trust the others either. Marijuana is natural and a plant, she smoked out of a bowl tho and not a wrap or cigar so she didn't pass any of the chemicals or tobacco
