No drugs during pregnancy period, we already know what meth, cocaine and the other harsh drugs will do to a baby. Do we really want to know what pot would do, can we not just group it in the same category as ciggs and just not do it while pregnant?
Well if it came down to me smoking a joint or being fat, well I guess I'm just going to have to be fat. Sorry drugs, ciggs and alcohol (except red wine occasionally) Are on the list of just do not do it while pregnant.
Why would it come down to you smoking a joint or being fat? Seems silly... And I wouldn't really recommend either.
I'm just saying, of all the bad things you can do while your pregnant, weed is definitely NOT at the top of the offenders list. So why do people get all butt hurt and judgmental when someone mentions pot and pregnancy in the same sentence? It just makes no sense. We don't vilify fat girls, do we?
Do you know why you can't find conclusive studies on pot and pregnancy?
Because its unethical to conduct them!
You can't give a pregnant woman an illegal and possibly extremely harmful substance just so you can see what happens.
Pot crosses the placental barrier. Pot causes cognitive problems in teenagers and adults. Ethically, that can't be studied in pregnancy.
Yeah, maybe true. But somehow I seem to find plenty of literature out there on the negative effects of cocaine use during pregnancy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prenatal_cocaine_exposure) and that too is an illegal substance. Hmmmm...
In any case, I'm just going with proven facts. Fact? Obesity is VERY bad for your unborn baby. Marijuana? No one really knows. Just pointing out how ridiculous it is for people to get all crazy about a little pot when logically there are much worse things you can do while pregnant. Any so, so many of us do...
Ironically, in many journals and studies I am reading, smoking in any sort seems to show a correlation of obesity in the child later in life.
In all fairness, this /\ journal article states in its abstract that more information is needed, but until then "women should be advised to not use marijuana during pregancy".
In this article, it states that marijuana use can lead to sleep disturbances such as "cycling, motility and arousals" could "suggest that specific neurophysiological systems may be differentially affected by prenatal alcohol or marijuana use"
Just because a study was conducted and published does not mean anything. When I have time (or remember to) I will look into that journal that the study was published in and take a look at their research methods as well. But I'm already pretty skeptical because as I said above a quick glance showed a pretty small sample size which is an automatic red flag.
Hmmmm. It's an actual study done by American Academy of Pediatrics. It is very long and in depth, so I'm not quite sure what you mean by small

Apparently, we do.
By we, I mean you.
ETA: format was all jacked up
This argument could go on forever but there have been studies done, there are studies that say nothing is bad about it and if you guys can't accept those studies then thats not our problem.
And whoever said red wine occasionally... Umm I thought we are arguing about harming baby and you just said that you would intoxicate your baby....
It includes an ISSN number so you can look the book up at a library. I'm not saying you should do that but since you're saying it probably isn't true. There is also that option.
Ok I'm late on this conversation but just have to comment. What's worse for your unborn baby... A few tokes here and there while pregnant or obesity / lack of exercise / poor eating habits while pregnant? Not advocating smoking pot while pregnant, but put it in perspective people. It's hardly the worst thing you could do.
That's a bit rude. I'm overweight. Even obese and was before I got pregnant, and am on track for normal weight gain for my pre pregnancy size. What's more is that I've always been active, not necessarily at the gym (but sometimes) but jobs where I'm on my feet, going on walks, sex, recreational sports and etc. I have never had an issue with cholesterol, sugar, and etc until my glucose test and after taking the three hour one, it still came back on the low end of the spectrum. Not all obese or overweight people are technically unhealthy! Our bodies just metabolize differently! So I do take offense to this and quite a but at that! Obesity or being overweight, is not necessarily worse than drinking, smoking, or doing drugs while pregnant!
Red wine is really good for your blood pressure as well as your blood, 4oz every so often will not hurt the baby nor will it make you intoxicated.......

The sample size is small = number of people who participated in the study
Got it. I was just showing that there is a study!! Lol. Just to prove I was right and that there actually is a study lol.
I'm being cute now I didn't even read the damn thing lol \:D/
it might not intoxicate you but it goes into your blood stream and therefore goes into baby. It takes alot less to take affect on baby that it would you. a 160LB grown adult vs a >2LB baby in utero... 4 oz still has enough alcohol in it to do something to baby... Just saying
Can we stop with the journal articles? No one is going to prove anything with that bullshit. The bottom line is that marijuana use during pregnancy hasn't thoroughly been studied and isn't well understood. Still, any rational clear thinking person would have to conclude that using any drug (PARTICULARLY one that isn't well understood) during pregnancy is probably not a good idea.
...But no need to be self righteous and judgmental ladies. Women do many other things that ARE thoroughly documented and decidedly NOT recommended during pregnancy. So no need to go ballistic at the mention of pot... Right?!

There are studies that say there is quite a bit bad about it as well, that you're not "accepting".
I am so confused about how this became a pot vs. blank post. WTF!?! The original question was is it okay for me to smoke while pregnant ( or my "friend")? Sure there are CLEAR, SCIENTIFIC, PEEF REVIEWED studies that say you should not abuse opiates, be obese, etc. during pregnancy, but your argument for weed can't be that there are worse things! There are a lot of not good things.just stick with the list of scientifically proven okay things. Why is that so difficult? No one has produced a study convincing enough for me to smoke pot while pregnant, though I don't smoke pot when not pregnant either. Also, using the THC is a natural substance argument is dumb. Poison ivy is natural, but I'm not using that for lotion every day. Ricin is a poison, but its natural so, by golly it must be better than Tylenol. Natural does not equal good for you and baby. The opiate addicted babies thing is silly, too. Life is not made up of the three days after birth and then we sre done. Babies grow onto kids and those kids, and some studies suggest (SUGGEST!) that those kids end up with developmental delays and learning difficulites when exposed to weed in utero. just becaise you camt see it as soon as a child is born, doesn't mean damage wasn't done. And, just for the record, this may make me sound like a butthead, but when you admit you own a dispensary, you lose all credibility to me. I feel like you just have an agenda to push. Sorry.
There isn't enough research on either side of the argument for pot to be worth it during pregnancy. There is too much what if. Period.

I'm guessing you didn't take Biology in college. There are many factors that go into proving the validity of a study. Each participant would have to smoke the amount of pot from the same source. They'd want them to have the same health level, ethnicity, etc. Even then, there are a lot of possible variables to research
No I didn't take biology. And no I wasn't trying to prove anything about the study accept that there is actually a study that says it's recommended. Do I need to be a biology major to know that it is an actual study. I wouldn't question if it was valid or not though being that it was done by doctors, and was published by a reputable source.
With that said, I now see that it was done with a small number of people so I guess it isn't good enough for you all. Oh well, I tried.

I should have clarified that better. I meant that had you been a bio major you'd understand why this one study doesn't prove your point by itself. It takes a lot more than that to prove something of this nature. I'm not saying there's enough to state that the opposite is true either which is precisely the point. There are not enough studies to convince me that it's safe. I'll err on the side of caution
FYI the only point I was trying to prove is that there is a study!!! Understand?
People were saying there isn't one so I found one. That's it. Now I feel like my IQ is being questioned..I simply found one to show that there is one. That's it.
I can't even believe I missed this whole thread. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? And since when is You Tube a reliable source for anything other than cat videos?
The only point I was trying to prove is that there is a study! I definitely was not saying marijuana use during pregnancy is good or recommended. Wow, I hate when things get twisted.

I only saw peopl saying there weren't enough studies. I didn't see anyone saying there weren't any at all. Now, if I sounded condescending toward you earlier that was not intentional but clearly you are trying to be condescending toward me so at least I understand the importance of proving the validity of a study before presenting it.
NO one is being condescending. I just don't like be accused of trying to prove weed is safe for you during pregnancy. I would never say something like that. I was only trying to say that there is a study since everyone was saying there wasn't. The study is valid, it may be questionable due to the number of participants but it is valid.

actually I never accused you of doing so. Also, you can't set it's questionable yet valid. It's one or the other
I took your words earlier as saying I was trying to prove it was safe. Because you said, "this one study doesn't prove your point", "there is not enough studies to convince me it is safe" You think I had a point to prove from showing the study, when the only thing I was proving is that there is a study.
Let me re-word: It is valid. But you or others may question it since there is so few people, is what I meant.
Btw did not mean this to become an all out war, I thought it was funny the responses on 1st tri. I can not wait till SSS rehashes this on her weekend update should be very entertaining
Every person I know that has smoked pot not even semi-regularly has eventually quit because they got a stash that was laced with something (except for the one person who grows it his self). It has to be more common than you're saying.
I know that happened to me when I was in high school. It was friggin scary!
Happed to me too, which is why I quit smoking it after that. And we did not get it from someone shady.

Question. If you are on pain management taking pain pills... Do you think taking pills or smoking weed is a better option for your fetus? One causes dependancy and possible birth defects and the other has none of that.. Which would u choose?
There are no definitive studies on the effects of pot on a fetus. And if you listen to hearsay, smoking pot can cause birth defects.
Don't listen to hear say I read medical facts and studies. Which none have found mj to have defects
I have a hard time believing this based on your grammar skills.
But there has been studies done on THC. Just because there's not a shit ton of them doesn't mean they aren't out there. Pot being laced with shit is a joke - ya maybe if you buy from some crack head or gangster. Just FYI I own a dispensary and am extremely pro medical marijuania. I don't smoke or ingest while pregnant because I don't have to. But I definitely don't talk shit to people or put them down for it. I'd rather see people use THC then opiates for pain any damn day of the week. Before you knock people for using mmj maybe you should Iook and research harder then listening to hearsay. In my ten years in the business I have never in my life met or heard of a baby having a deformity from THC..... Opiates omg go ask a midwife or nurse about those babied in icu
I completely agree with Jaxx here. My brother owns dispensary as well and there are many studies on MJ use during pregnancy. Some even recommend the use of it. I don't use it while pregnant but I definitely know for a fact that opiates and alcohol are much worse than THC.
For the last time, we are discussing recreational use and not medicinal. JFC! And we are not suggesting that anyone should be using opiates without good reason either
I personally want to see the studies about pot use while pregnant.
Google. First link actually recommends it during pregnancy.

Re: SSS
Why would it come down to you smoking a joint or being fat? Seems silly... And I wouldn't really recommend either.
I'm just saying, of all the bad things you can do while your pregnant, weed is definitely NOT at the top of the offenders list. So why do people get all butt hurt and judgmental when someone mentions pot and pregnancy in the same sentence? It just makes no sense. We don't vilify fat girls, do we?
Just because a study was conducted and published does not mean anything. When I have time (or remember to) I will look into that journal that the study was published in and take a look at their research methods as well. But I'm already pretty skeptical because as I said above a quick glance showed a pretty small sample size which is an automatic red flag.
Hmmmm. It's an actual study done by American Academy of Pediatrics. It is very long and in depth, so I'm not quite sure what you mean by small
This argument could go on forever but there have been studies done, there are studies that say nothing is bad about it and if you guys can't accept those studies then thats not our problem.
And whoever said red wine occasionally... Umm I thought we are arguing about harming baby and you just said that you would intoxicate your baby....
That's a bit rude. I'm overweight. Even obese and was before I got pregnant, and am on track for normal weight gain for my pre pregnancy size. What's more is that I've always been active, not necessarily at the gym (but sometimes) but jobs where I'm on my feet, going on walks, sex, recreational sports and etc. I have never had an issue with cholesterol, sugar, and etc until my glucose test and after taking the three hour one, it still came back on the low end of the spectrum. Not all obese or overweight people are technically unhealthy! Our bodies just metabolize differently! So I do take offense to this and quite a but at that! Obesity or being overweight, is not necessarily worse than drinking, smoking, or doing drugs while pregnant!
Got it. I was just showing that there is a study!! Lol. Just to prove I was right and that there actually is a study lol.
I'm being cute now
...But no need to be self righteous and judgmental ladies. Women do many other things that ARE thoroughly documented and decidedly NOT recommended during pregnancy. So no need to go ballistic at the mention of pot... Right?!
Ok. The end.
There isn't enough research on either side of the argument for pot to be worth it during pregnancy. There is too much what if. Period.

No I didn't take biology. And no I wasn't trying to prove anything about the study accept that there is actually a study that says it's recommended. Do I need to be a biology major to know that it is an actual study. I wouldn't question if it was valid or not though being that it was done by doctors, and was published by a reputable source.
With that said, I now see that it was done with a small number of people so I guess it isn't good enough for you all. Oh well, I tried.
FYI the only point I was trying to prove is that there is a study!!! Understand?
People were saying there isn't one so I found one. That's it. Now I feel like my IQ is being questioned..I simply found one to show that there is one. That's it.
actually I never accused you of doing so. Also, you can't set it's questionable yet valid. It's one or the other
I took your words earlier as saying I was trying to prove it was safe. Because you said, "this one study doesn't prove your point", "there is not enough studies to convince me it is safe" You think I had a point to prove from showing the study, when the only thing I was proving is that there is a study.
Let me re-word: It is valid. But you or others may question it since there is so few people, is what I meant.

Happed to me too, which is why I quit smoking it after that. And we did not get it from someone shady.
