Weed and pregnancy

Does anyone or have when they were pregnant smoked? Or maybe used CBD? I'm really worried for a drug test or something to happen to my baby if I do. We are TTC but I have chrons and it helps so much and I'm nervous how I will feel without it. Anyone have actual experience or maybe research on it?

Smoking marijuana has literally been said to help women with anxiety, nausea, etc during pregnancy. Don't listen to the naysayers, they just think weed is bad in general. Vape it, eat it, dab it, the only bad thing from smoking is carcinogens, and you get plenty of those from going outside in this world anyways. I would just stop 2 mos prior to your due date so child services isn't called.

I believe its probably written in the forms you sign while giving labor, and you probably don't even realize it, but you should also check local laws in your area/state to see what they say as well. In my state they usually test every baby born, because they need to make sure baby is healthy and not in withdrawal from some opiod addict or meth addicts choices. Weed is different, usually, they will just do one or two home visits after baby is born, but they won't take your baby for weed.

I smoked up until I was 37weeks pregnant because of marijuana I have my baby at 10weeis I was told to be prepared to miscarry because the nausea had me so malnourished... My daughter is a happy healthy 5month old hardly ever cries is so aware and meeting all her milestones early I still smoke while breastfeeding as well baby girl is perfect in everyway

I smoked all my pregnancy it helped with sickness and headaches. I just stopped 2 months before i was due just to b safe and not to get involed with dcfs. No matter legal or not a substance is still a substance and to be aware that the hospital staff are only lookning put for the baby in this situation since it has no voice or choice at this point. Its like speaking on behalf of the innocent.

Yes because throughout my pregnancy i was honest with my doctor ant my check ups. So when i delivered my doctor tested me and my son through blood test. They also wanted to confirm by checking my sons poopy diapers the first day. All came back good so no further questions. She just advised me as she had during my pregnancy that smoking anything isnt good or wise. Which is true because its not just my choice but my babies which in a way i took away. I wont again tho. It made me feel guilty from what she said at that point. She was awsome not judgmental just concerned.

Yes girlie i lived this already. Trust me no lies or pretend to know it all. My son just turned 9 month on Jan 26th 2019. Thc will leave the system of both u and ur baby in a month but i stopped two months before just to be extra safe and it was all gone. This isnt a guess ladies its a fact just be safe and do what u feel. Much 💘. Oh and my son is very smart and above average his peds say(not braging). He is already taking steps ugh i love his life!!!!!!! Im currently 7.1 weeks today and i still smoke mainly to not throw up but to each thier own. Just remember no cigars as weed is naturally an herb and gross out the earth. No cigars due to chemicals and birth deffects.

I did for the 1st 6 months and a couple times after if I was really stressed. I’d clean up for tests and had a very happy and healthy 8lb baby. I didn’t smoke everyday and only a little bit when I did. My anxiety and depression was really bad and it helped with it and there’s no proven harm from it.

How long does it take to leave your system if they test at like every apt? Know how they collect pee? Are they testing then? I'm not preg yet but ttc but want to see if it's worth it I have chrons and when I have a flare up it's the only thing that helps

Smoking cuts off oxygen to the baby, so I would never say smoke while pregnant. Idk about edibles or cbd oils
