Did you fall pregnant while smoking?

Question

I am referring mostly to women that smoke every day. I am TTC, however, I do smoke out of my bong daily. Once in the morning and once before bed.. It has proven helpful for anxiety, stress, gaining an appetite and aiding sleep so I don’t wish to quit up until I’ve successfully conceived…. Will my decision effect the odds of me conceiving?

Answer

I used it daily for anxiety and depression prior to pregnancy. I have PCOS as well so we’d been already trying for almost 3 years by the time I started using it. My husband is also a daily user. 
I actually got pregnant after my brother died in January. I was using weed a lot more than normal, I’d lost both of my older brothers and my father in the last 10 years. I took his death really hard and in my grief smoking was the only thing that helped me be able to gather myself enough to be there for my mom. My husband and I were still having regular sex but more for emotional release than TTC. I ended up pregnant by the end of the month.
Due to my intense morning sickness and dealing with the grief on top of my usual depression and anxiety, my midwife and therapist both support my continued use while pregnant. Especially since more research is showing no link between cannabis use and development in children. I’m 27 weeks tomorrow and my son is developmentally perfect so far, anatomy scan was beautiful, my midwives aren’t worried at all about my cannabis use and are more concerned with my mental health.

Answer

I voted yes based on the question in the topic…I smoked everyday morning noon and night for 2.5 years and still got pregnant with no complications….I ended up smoking my whole pregnancy as well as I ended up having horrible morning sickness that lasted my whole pregnancy….this was my first pregnancy where I had no complications at all besides morning sickness…I was even more happy throughout this pregnancy! 
So yes, you can still get pregnant while smoking 😊

Answer

Although weed is legal here and some doctors claim it is safe while pregnant for morning sickness, there is not enough actual studies and evidence on the affects it can have on a fetus. I stopped smoking 2 months before my husband and I planned on trying so it was out of my system. When it comes to babies and the health of another little human I don't take chances personally. I'm sure it's fine to fall pregnant while smoking but stopping immediately once you find out has little risk but I personally didn't want to risk it.
