Babies on the Brain

Marijuana effects?

I think I might be pregnant. About 3 weeks. I'm a maijuana smoker. I smoke quite a bit and its always gave me a pleasant high but lately when I smoke I get lightheaded and weird feeling. I was just wondering if when a pot smoker becomes pregnant if your body reacts to the weed differently?

Re: Marijuana effects?

  • Just in case the OP is for real....

    Please talk to a doctor. If you are pregnant, you should stop smoking MJ ASAP.

    To answer your actual question though, I'm guessing it very well could (your body could react to the MJ differently while pregnant because of all of the hormones).

    That being said, if you have symptoms of being pregnant, you are pregnant enough to turn a home pregnancy test positive.

    This is my favorite.  Thanks for the description of your feelings while you possibly hurt your unborn child.  I'm terribly sorry this is messing up your buzz.

  • Are you insane? I would love to know if you're for real. Or just an attention whore.
  • As the wife of someone whose mother is "the biggest stoner" he knows, (on the off chance you are legit) please stop smoking pot until you know for sure you aren't pregnant. Obviously I love MH, but his mom did not do him any favors smoking pot while pregnant with him.

    I'm not new. I just hate The Bump. 

  • There is no direct evidence of negative side effects from smoking. That being said I think you should cut it out like cigarettes, alcohol and junk food.

    There is no guarantee that your kid will be negatively affected, but why take the risks? At worst, try cutting back. I have a friend who drank, smoked cigarettes and weed and the baby is fine, but it's risky. At the very lease use a vaporizer, since smoke inhalation does have a negative correlation.
  • This is awesome! People amaze me.

    This is completely false. There is ABSOLUTELY direct evidence proving that smoking pot OR cigarettes is harmful. Try reading "The Mystery of Risk" and stop spouting off crap you clearly know nothing about until you actually bother to learn something.

    WTF? Now I'm just all kinds of pissed.

    Yes

  • Many studies have shown that THC, the drug in marijuana is not harmful to a developing fetus, however, the act of smoking is very harmful to mother, baby and all those around you. Stop now and all should be well. Also, don't pick it back up postpartum an expose the baby to second hand smoke.

    I do not think you can prove this.

    Agreed.

    And, Lissygrl, I hope you've reported those "studies" you found and the people researching that information to the NIH, AMA, and FDA as well as many other governing bodies for research in this country. Since, you know, any studies that test DRUGS on a pregnant woman and a fetus are both illegal and unethical.

    But GL with proving that idiotic statement.

  • I have worked in one of the county hospitals on the south side of Chicago, in the NICU, with all the babies born to mothers who drank heavily and abused drugs. It was heartbreaking. If this is your attitude and approach during pregnancy or TTC, you clearly do not have the common sense of intellectual capacity to be a mother. GTFO!

    I think that the point Lissgrl was trying to make is that because, like PP have said, scientists cannot make studies or run tests on the effects of one specific component of MJ, THC,  on a fetus because it is unethical, all we have to rely on are correlations between MJ-using mothers and reported birth defects. Down side is that in the world of statistics, a correlation does not = causation so researchers cannot definitively say that using causes the defects. Its kind of like how there have been cases where workers exposed to asbestos have tried to sue their employers and lost because you cannot prove the asbestos is what caused your cancer (which is completely unfair).

    Just in an effort to play devil's advocate, Lissygrl did urge OP to stop immediately because  she realizes the harm smoking itself can do, and it did not seem IMO that she was supporting MJ use by mothers. 

    I know I myself am also a new poster, and so may not have a lock down on group dynamics yet, so I'd like to add that I'm not trying to put any one down or stir up drama - just trying to clear the air a little and make a more inclusive environment for seasoned and new members of the board alike.

    Any one else find it funny how the OP has yet to respond to all of this? lol definitely seems like some serious MUD just to stir the pot to me.  

    Most of all, Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekends if you have it off :)
