Any moms🤰 here use 🌱THC🌱 while pregnant or 🤱Breastfeeding?

Question

I have an oral report done for my OB class on THC/Marijuana/Cannabis use while pregnant and breastfeeding, but thought why haven't I asked anyone here since I use this app. 
May I ask: is it common to hear that other moms are using THC while pregnant? 🤰And are you somewhat afraid of it affecting your baby?🤱 Do you believe it could affect your baby's memory, growth development or mental stability later on in life?

Answer

My OB and lactation consultant told me no amount of THC is safe while breastfeeding and to stay away from marijuana until I’m done breastfeeding.

Answer

I use THC while pregnant 😌 
In my first trimester i lost 25 pounds (and i continue to lose weight at 18 weeks) because of severe morning sickness. The risks associated with THC is low birth weight and possible neurological growth slowing. 
The side effects to Zofran in the first trimester are much much worse. 
THC and cannabinoids have been shown to fight coronavirus and users of THC are being infected at a much slower rate. 
I am a medical card holder too, and my doctors are aware of my usage while pregnant so i don’t really care what judgement I’m going to get. 
Anecdotally, i know dozen of people to smoke through their pregnancy and have happy, healthy, neurotypical children while using THC while pregnant. 
THC helps various other mental illnesses i have, hence the medical card, and carries less birth risks than many other prescribed medications. 
I do not smoke while pregnant due to the risks associated with smoking. But I’m not going to unmedicate myself when none of my doctors find it necessary. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Answer

My doctor and nurse sister have both told me it’s definitely not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the people who claim to have smoked or done edibles their whole pregnancy or while they were breastfeeding and that their baby is fine is considered survivors bias and not a reason to do it.

Answer

I took a breastfeeding class while pregnant and was told that there is no safe amount of marijuana to use while breastfeeding, since thc does pass through the milk . It was really drilled in that it was NOT safe. Seems like common sense but for a lot of people it's not. 
I did not use marijuana during my pregnancy, but when I had my first appointment they said they would test my baby at the hospital even if I had used marijuana 6 months prior to getting pregnant (which I hadn't done ). They also tested for drugs in urine routinely at my appointments. Mothers who tested positive do have a child services worker follow up with them at the hospital and they do test the baby before you go home.

Answer

My childhood best friend started smoking weed while breastfeeding. Her baby is 18 months now & extremely small & still won’t walk. She’s probably the size of a 10 months old. For some reason she continues to smoke & breast feed. 
She has a 2 year old that she breast fed but did not smoke with & she was a cubby baby & started walking early. 
I have a 3 year old and have been around babies most of my life. I know her baby is definitely delayed in everything. 💔
That being said I do not support THC while pregnant or breastfeeding and I no longer talk to my child hood best friend.

Answer

i personally don’t believe a single negative thing that’s out there about weed & pregnancy/breastfeeding. i don’t trust what doctors have to say about it because i go off of my own experience. it’s a natural thing that has no harmful effects on humans so why would it do anything harmful to your baby? use of it where i live is legal with a medical card, which i have.
