I have a serious question for you guys. I feel like most of you are so wonderful and sweet and I saw an article about…

I don't think a mother should be doing it while pregnant or breastfeeding, but other than that if it helps you, and you're still able to care for your kids than I don't see the problem. Not for me though

@alecandfrankiesmum Interesting. I completely agree. If it phisically is harming your child of course not. But I'm talking during naps or when you put your baby to bed at night. Some have a glass of wine some might also smoke a bit. It's just a way to unwind

I smoked weed my entire pregnancy and baby came out perfectly fine minus being early due to my diabetes and constant high blood sugars, he has no mental, physical or motor skill delays that we know of right now seeing as he's only a month and some old. However, I refuse to smoke weed now that I am breastfeeding him my nurses at the hospital didn't condone that I smoked while pregnant but didn't say anything bad but when I started to bf they were on me like a piranhas about not smoking because babies brains are 60% fat and marijuana is absorbed into fat. They said hold off until he is at least a year but no sooner than 6 months. 😊

Hubby and I were heavy pot smokers prior to getting preggo. I smoked once in a while during my 1st/2nd trimesters when I was super nauseous and not hungry.

Hubby currently now only smokes right before bed to help him sleep. He was in a motorcycle accident 5yrs ago and now suffers from chronic back pain so it helps him. I only smoke maybe once every few months .. on a Sunday afternoon.

I am an advocate for "to each their own" .. I have nothing against "pot smokers" whether they be young/old, mothers/fathers .. etc.

But once he is old enough probably around 2 or 3 chances are I'll smoke a few joints here and there before bed haha

@tlistboom @rykersmomma @alecandfrankiesmum I'm so happy with how open minded you all are. I was a heavy smoker before finding out I was pregnant. During pregnancy I didn't smoke. For quite some time after I didn't smoke either because I just wasn't ready and I was a new mother and I didn't really know what to expect. Now that my daughter is 10 months old I'm comfortable and in a routine. I just moved into my own place with my boyfriend and so I have been smoking while baby sleeps and sometimes it hasn't completely worn off when she wakes up from a nap but it doesn't make me care for her less. It actually really helps keep me calm during crying fits I've noticed. I just feel like it's frowned upon. Maybe it's not as bad as I think. We should get to be ourselves in our free time without being lugged as a mom every time. We have to be able to seperate from the mom roll sometimes

@mommy1991, @tlistboom, I agree, personally I don't feel like I'm able to care for the baby probably, even if he's sleeping, because he might wake up. But because my second pregnancy I would smoke once in s while before bed to help me sleep. I know lots of people who use it to get through the day, and I think it's great that there is something other than prescribed drugs out there.

Pot doesn't make you a careless person. Hungry yes careless no 😋

@rykersmomma agreed!

I smoked during pregnancy and I still smoke now @mommy1991, it helps me to stay calm during fits as well

Y'all smokers need to quit 😤... Lol just playing.. I'm like do you boo boo 😂.. almost every other person I know smokes down to my old mail lady 😂.. I don't smoke but not one to pass judgement. I drink not overly but I have a shot of grey goose etc every now and then. Whatever floats your boat.

I used to be a huge pot smoker and I'm in healthcare so I know the pros of it. I don't smoke now only cause it causes me extreme anxiety but would never judge a person who smokes. Everyone in my extended family smoke pot my parents smoke pot fuck there are so many studies to show how pot helps people in so many ways. The only negative studies that are actually legit and proven to cause harm to a baby if the mother is smoking up to 10+ joints a day while pregnant.... as long as you're not abusing it and getting so stoned you pass out and can't take care of your children then do you

My husband and I grow and smoke our own weed. Its medicine. We have strains that help with pain, anxiety, insomnia etc. I also had SEVERE morning sickness and the weed really helped.

@sexymomma @starting_over39 @dancingbelly @sashie oh yay! I'm so glad that you mommies are so open minded and I'm so glad to know that I'm not the only one😊

@dancingbelly, one of my friends smoked a lot during pregnancy, even when she was in labor. Her daughter is non stop and doesn't listen to her mom at all. I didn't smoke with either of my boys. One is always very calm and one is very busy. I think it affects everyone differently

I smoke everyday. I don't smoke alot that I'm a careless person. I am still fully functional & taking care of my children. I used to smoke it here & there the first couple weeks after Carters birth, but then I have been dealing with crazy health issues so I've been put on pills. My pills are a low dose of chemo, so it helps with the days that im not feeling well & dont want to eat lol. I've had people judge me, but I do what works for me. It may not be for everyone & if someone wants to hold it agaisnt me, then so be it 👍🏻 lol
