If your pregnant when do you think you should stop smoking weed?

Question

It’s really hard for me to quit. I just found out I am pregnant but I want to smoke a little longer. When do you think itsokay to stop? Or do you think I should just stop now? Anyone think I’m horrible for smoking while pregnant? I have horrible anxiety and depression when I stop I have withdrawals... it’s hard any advice? Please help!

Answer

I stopped smoking when I hit threeish months. My baby is perfect and hitting hit milestones early. He hardly ever cries and is always laughing about something. I did smoke twice around 6 months as well. 
When i was pregnant with my daughter (9 now) i kept getting my period for the first four months. I was getting sick a lot so I took a couple tests and they were negative. I was 17 and partying hard and smoking a ton. You would never know it. Shes one of the top students in her class. Shes reading at an 8th grade level and excelling in all of her other subject areas (except gym, the girl hates to sweat). Shes the kindest most gentle soul you will ever meet. 
I know a lot of people will talk badly about it but I know tons of people who have smoked throughout their pregnancy and their kids are amazingly happy and healthy. I'm not a person to beat one up over the choices they make for themself. You do what you feel is best. Just remember it is still illegal and people still lose their kids over it

Answer

I stopped smoking as soon as I found out but with quitting cold turkey after 5+ years I found it hard to sleep. Smoking cuts off oxygen to the baby and no matter what smoking is still smoking. I wasn’t sick but I found it hard to relax and sleep or even find an appetite. I still used gummies and other edibles up untill my 7th month. I’m 8.5 months now and baby is still perfectly fine my doctors mind is blow as to how healthy we both are. We’ve got 3 weeks left and she’s perfectly fine. I stopped at 7 months because I live in a state where if she is born with anything in her system CPS will step in. Just read up on your state laws and make sure you take care of yourself and your baby. People will judge you no matter what.

I smoked all the way until I went to the hospital because I couldn’t even keep water down without it. Also anxiety and depression. Tried to quit a few times but I would literally throw up everything so violently that I would pee all over myself it was mortifying. I had a long labor, over 24 hours, so i couldn’t smoke at the hospital and still couldn’t keep water down and vomited five times before baby was born. I did test positive at the hospital as did baby and CPS opened a case. They checked my house before we left the hospital and I had to pass a drug test two months later. Now the case is about to close, I should be getting a letter in the mail this week. If you don’t want cps contacted make sure you are clean before you go to the hospital. If the test done at the hospital is clean they have no reason to test your child. Even if you tested positive during pregnancy but are clean at the hospital they shouldn’t test baby. I mean there would be no point to since they already know we smoked, the important part to them is that you quit. Which just makes no since lmao the baby is out of your body now. People just want to have a fuss over weed.  In Florida btw

Answer

If you are going to continue to use I suggest edibles as smoking anything reduces oxygenation of blood. I personally quit at about 8 weeks with my previous pregnancy. Hospitals in my area test at the first apt and if you test positive continue to test throughout your pregnancy. If you have 3 positives then they alert CPS. They also test at birth and if your urine tests positive then they test the baby, if your positive they will contact CPS. I don't think there is anything wrong with marijuana consumption during pregnancy especially if it is a replacement for prescription drugs. Presciptions are far more of a risks during pregnancy in my opinion.

Answer

Considering it’s illegal in most states, be responsible and stop right away, I know people who have had cps cases due to smoking herb while pregnant. Not worth the stress in my opinion. I have anxiety too but I don’t use herb for it. Try some Bach rescue remedy.  It’s safe while pregnant, i had to use it to slowly ween off Xanax when I found out I was pregnant. There are other things you can take for anxiety. Honestly, if I was experiencing withdrawals from quitting smoking weed, that would just give me more incentive to quit smoking weed. I don’t like my body/mind being dependent on any substance. Ever. 
P.S. I havnt been back on Xanax for my anxiety since quitting 2 1/2 years ago. 👍

Answer

My mom smoked weed all throughout her pregnancy with all three of my siblings and I.  I smoked when I was pregnant!!! My doctor actually told me it could help with the pain!🤗 And it DID!!

Answer

I was a heavy smoker but when I found out I was pregnant I planned to stop but morning sickness was so bad and smoking really helped get rid of it. So I smoked maybe once or twice a day until I was 4 months.

Answer

I stopped cold Turkey with my 1st.. smoked entire pregnancy with my 2nd.. but i haven't smoked weed in 2 years now and pregnant with my 3rd..

Answer

No judgement here, and some doctors are actually okay with it. There aren't enough medical studies to know how it affects the baby whether it be in the womb or later on in their life with development. But I will tell you one thing, if you go to your OB appointments and test positive for marijuana they will most likely test the baby's meconium for THC when he/she is born. If you continue to smoke past 16-20 weeks there's a high chance of THC showing up in the baby's meconium and CPS might get involved. If you struggle with depression or anxiety during pregnancy there are medications that you can safely be prescribed to even though that's usually the last thing anyone wants to do.
