what are your thoughts about smoking marijuana while pregnant? me personally i find it 50/50 nd…

yes if you are consuming "drugs" social services gets involved and they take away your baby.

I think it's wrong and irresponsible

and yes, CPS will take your baby

I'm pretty sure they test the placenta for drugs. I could be wrong I just heard that once.

And most doctors offices check your urine for drugs at each visit - at least they do here in FL

smoking anything during pregnancy isn't responsible I'm all for alittle fun here and there but not during pregnancy no way, most people who say it's " alright " are those who are potheads and try to justify it because it's not something they wanna stop . medically Wise yes they haven't found ground breaking evidence that it's bad for the child.... but you never know how those kids turn out when their older.... better safe then sorry I always say

@cubanese, oh okay! That you for clarifying that for me :) I just know a girl who had a baby and they tested her placenta for drugs and it was positive so she ran off. 😕

regardless of the medical reasons or your veiw on whether it should be legal or not, they do drug test the baby, if it tests positive for any illegal drug they will take your baby away. In my state they test baby and mother at the hospital at the time of birth, if I test positive I lose my baby. Why risk it?

@sarahemccormick, right, so when a person gets pregnant are they suppose to stop taking it medicinally? like im trying to figure out how all these women are smoking or doing whatever and still being able to have their kids...@mommypanda,

right and dont these babies come out with problems and health issues like it's stupid to go through ur pregnancy, purposely not preventing something that could be preventable

a lot of people when they get closer to the due date bc it normally is checked at birth

@vannah personally, I would stop- even if it was for medicinal purposes. And for those who claim to be addicted, I call BS because back in my heyday, I used to smoke my fair share of pot. That was a very long time ago in my teens. I can tell you that there is no such thing as an addiction to marijuana, and it's easy to just stop it. If it was for medical reasons, I would seek out alternative treatments. If those women are smoking and keeping their kids, somebody in the medical profession isn't doing their job because the baby and mother are tested at birth.

no weed doesn't cause any problem now cigarettes can lol

I didn't even want to take a Tylenol when I was pregnant! Not even kidding. I was very mindful about what went into my body.

and the babies still come out healthy?? and they not worried about it?? @amberino ok pass drug test at birth but how healthy will ur baby be, ya know?

I know people personally and they kids all are 100% healthy . if anything cigarettes isn't safe . I personally would just wait for 9 months

I understand weed can be used for medicinal purposes - and the only thing I'm okay with because I know it's proven to work and be safe is Cannabis oil for children with seizures. And for those who are very terminally ill. But a pregnant woman just shouldnt.

@sarahemccormick, right thats how i feel. i feel like the more common it is even the doctors and people who need to be watching for this are becoming way lenient

@amberino, aren't weed and cigarettes kinda in the same category though? but i agree its too much at risk to just not wait till ur done sharing your body..and the people you know were able to keep their babies??

I smoked before i found out I was pregnant with this baby and that resulted in me failing my first drug test, so my dr sat me down and talked me about it and just warned me that he personally sees nothing wrong with it. They actually tell mothers with horrible morning sickness to smoke because not being able to hold food down is a hella lot worse than smoking a little bit of weed. Also he said its mostly state that regulates it as a "drug" but if you test positive here they dont take your baby away you just get a cps case open.

isn't that still a issue if they open a case? its not guaranteed you get to keep your baby right? @ninanicole2

Weeds not really looked at as a hardcore drug where i live its actually almost recreationally legal so they just keep an eye on you and make sure your house is fine and stuff but they dont take your kid away over weed.

@ninanicole2, thats crazy. i mean the most important thing is it not effecting the baby

Im sorry but no. No one should smoke ANYTHING while pregnant. Im a pothead and quit that shit instantly. Its not fucking hard and yes weed and cigarettes are in the same category because A) youre still giving your body less oxygen and B) anything you use to wrap your weed in still have tars and chemical. I don't understand why you would risk it. Its not just your body anymore.

right. and even after if ur breastfeeding...im not a doctor but i just feel its common sense @joceyyyy

nah lol it has never been said that weed is bad for a person but we hear all the bad things about cigarettes... weed is grown from the earth lol

Its a plant I believe

and you can use "joints" to roll your weed which is papers lol nothing is in that

and when people start messing with synthetic weed and stuff that takes it to a while other level
