Babies: 3 - 6 Months

If you smoked pot while pregnant or nursing, come in

yes this is an ae, but this is not MUD, so flame if you must, but I seriously am curious and hope at least some bumpies will answer the question without judgement. how many have ever smoked pot? did you smoke while you were pregnant? while you were nursing?

I smoked while pregnant before I knew I was. then not after. I have been thinking about starting up again occasionally, but I BF, and I can't find any information about what the effects on LO might be, but I don't think anything bad would happen. what do you think?

  • It's probably not a good idea - but I think you know that.

    Maybe if you are going to do it, you should at least pump n dump

  • Let me go make an AE to answer this honestly... Confused

    ...I do know some people who never stopped or slowed down AT ALL, and they smoke A LOT while pregnat. There children are actual very smart, no health issue's or anything. In my book smoking mary-jane is less harmful then cig's, and women have smoked and had babies/BF for years

     

  • I think you can ask your doctor. Aren't they required to keep it secret due to doctor/patient confideniality?

    But I agree: to be safe, Pump and Dump

    This is a test. This is only a test.
  • yuck!

    You'll find that it says that it's better to smoke and BF than smoke and FF.  So, please do read!!

  • You are not going to find a ton of research on this topic for obvious reasons.  However, cigarette smoking can affect supply, so pot smoking might too, but that's just a guess.

    But since it's an unknown, really, why risk it?  It's not like your baby is going to be BF forever. Would it really be so terrible to lay off the weed for another few months?

  • Funny you post this...I was just going through old notes of mine from my development class in PT school and wrote quite a bit about one study that was done in Jamaica on pregnant women who smoke marijuana.  I was a heavy pot user during my college years so of course I thought this was interesting enough to spend my time taking notes on rather than the other important stuff in that class ;)  Those who smoked had less morning sickness, decreased fatigues and increase apetite.  PP, there was less PPD, and at 30 days infants had better physiological stability.  heavy user's babies were more autonomically stable as well.  Obviously this is not to promote the use of pot during pregnancy/BF, but I found it interesting, especially back in the day apparently.  I have no idea how valid the study was.  Regardless of this study, however, I probably wouldn't smoke it or pump and dump like a PP said.

    I don't think that would work the way it does with alcohol.  THC is in your system for a month right?

  • You are stupid. That is all.

  • I'm just curious if you're talking about hittin a doobie saturday night... Or full out 5x a day pot smoking?

    ....who consider's starting such a habit? how old are you?

    (I'm not flaming, seriously asking...) if you want to hit a doobie once in a blue moon, not sure why you'd even post this. If you "considering a hobby" I'd "consider knitting instead"  (this coming from a person who is not against weed at all)

  • Considering most pot is laced with crystal meth and who knows what else these days, you are BSC to even consider it.

    I had this thought as well. the information that I am seeing does say that LO's whose mom's smoke do test positive, but I don't see much in the way of negative effects. I am still reading though.

    Call Le Leche league and ask. Seriously. My friend did.

  • My question was serious.  Is reefer really so important to you that you can't hold off until your LO is done nursing? 

    Although, if the fact that your baby could actually test positive on a drug test doesn't deter you, then I would think the answer would be yes.

  • It's true. My mother works the Lab at the hospital and she sees it every day in her results. All of my aunts have the same profession and they see it too and they are spread all across Canada and the US. Unless you are growing it yourself or it's Military grade I would not be smoking that stuff period.

    not sure my age is relevant, but old enough. It's not like it's something I've never done. I smoked a lot before I got pregnant and while pregnant until I knew I was. I'm looking to go back to an old habit, as opposed to starting up a new one. lots of people I know do and I'm around it pretty frequently. It would be nice to partake...

    I'm glad so many of you are being honest and not flaming too much. I really wanted to get some serious thoughts on this. my SO and I both smoke and have many friends and family who do as well. we're not a bunch of low-lifes. we are professionals- sales reps, firemen, engineers, techies, educators, etc. We're good people who do our jobs well, and like to 'relax' every once in a while on our own time.

     As a healthcare professional they are legally required to report anything that is harmful to the child (i.e. abuse/neglect/etc.).  That being said, I'm not sure if smoking weed while BF is considered "harmful to the child"

    Have you considered that the people whose blood is being tested at a hospital might be mostly the ones using a dangerous laced version.....and that not every bag of weed out there is a DEADLY KILLER?

    I don't see anything wrong with smoking every once in a while. But I would never smoke while pregnant, BF or while DC is around. I hope you make the decision that's best for you AND your baby.

  • I'm no pot smoker, but I used to be a heavy cig smoker. I'm asking out of semi-ignorance, but what about withdrawal symptoms? If the baby tests positive, wouldn't he/she have the same withdrawal symptoms as someone who smoked? Also, what about SIDS risks? I know with cigs it's increased significantly, but with weed also? Is this something you can honestly say you wouldn't mind your LO partaking in, even if it led to other drugs? That's the reason I quit smoking for good.

    If it gets into the baby's system then it would be considered harmful. Just like a mom that smokes while pregnant and it's found in the meconium. Child protection would be notified.
