    I call MUD. Another drive by troller. But let's just say it's true.... I would call bs on the "help with nausea" excuse. If this were to actually be true it would be because someone likes getting high. There are plenty of other (legal) safer alternatives out there. I would NEVER play Russian roulette with my baby just so I could feel good.
    That's all I'm saying right now because everything else will get me banned.

    Most places do drug test screening..while carrying and after the baby is born. It's probably too late but quit..the baby will experience withdrawal after he or she is born...if you cant stop consider getting some help on how to..

    I had to sign a waiver at one of my appointments giving the office permission to drug test me at any time if they choose to. I just couldn't imagine letting it go on for so long without worrying myself to death on the consequences it could have for my baby.

    There is pregnancy safe medication for morning sickness. Did you try that ? With my first I didn't know I was pregnant, I was smoking marijuana. I Found out right after I smoked and then lost the baby at 5 weeks. Please quit. You're taking oxygen from your child

    I would stop smoking ASAP. If you have trouble keeping food down and with nausea then talk to your OB. They can help you.

    WOW! Such a hot topic and OP has vanished? I'm confused. OP a "thanks all" would be great. At least then we'd know you've at least read some of the great advice that has been given to you.image


    To be completely fair, she just posted this yesterday. Not everyone checks the boards everyday.

    If it's MUD, then that's a different story.

    Believe it or not, this seems to be an increasingly common practice.  And some moms that I've interacted with swear it's the only thing that helped them.  But I don't support it in the least bit and the risks far outweigh the pros.  And to @aebxo 's point about increasing anxiety, there have been some preliminary studies that THC not only can increase anxiety and depressive symptoms but can also lead to an onset of schizophrenia if you're genetically predisposed.  Could marijuana have some medical uses in the future? Absolutely.  But even the "approved conditions" for medical marijuana have little-to-no medical research to back it up currently.  There are no doses, the potency is not controlled, and the adverse impacts are far more supported than the hypothesized benefits.  Thankfully baby won't experience any noticeable withdrawal symptoms as they would with opiates, for example, but as I mentioned in my previous post the impact on brain development is possible, still birth is possible and premature labor (which has its own set of complications for baby) is possible.  Even if it is MUD, I hope other moms who think smoking while pregnant is an okay idea will come across this thread to hear all the advice that has been given.

    I don't need any help in quitting. It's already done! God is the only one who can judge me. He forgives me and that makes me good! I'm a great mom and work full time 50-60 hours per week. I don't have to explain myself to anyone. My doc knows what is going on and baby is perfectly fine and healthy. Both my oldest children are normal happy and healthy. We have a firm foundation and continue to grow! So thanks again ladies!

    I turned to you moms for advice not for judgments. I am stopping and will talk to doc Thursday.
    Way to dirty delete... you've been quoted already, so nice try.  Even though you're acting like a child right now I hope that your updated post that you plan to quit smoking and see your doctor on Thursday is the truth.

    I bypassed a lot of responses. However, while NOT smoking is the obvious best thing, a close friend of mine has a sister that smoked to combat nausea (she had HG) despite a lot of folks trying to steer her away from it.

    While her baby boy is thriving, he does seem to be struggling with some delays with speaking, and other milestones and he is EXTREMELY hyperactive and aggressive.

    I know my friend thinks it's due to her smoking. Problem is you seem to realize you should quit. I gather this simply because you posted about it.

    Quit. Best of luck to you, and I hope you and baby thrive once you quit.

    You came on a public forum and explained the situation to a bunch of strangers- no, you didn't have to explain yourself to us, but you chose to. I really hope for a happy and healthy outcome for your baby and your two older children. They are in my thoughts.

    I was really trying to stay out of this, but seriously op, you come onto a public forum, ask for advice, and then when you don't get the exact answer you want, you get mad and act like you none of these people have a right to give their opinion...Wth?! I just seriously can't with all of this. People get morning sickness. It's part of pregnancy, but we don't all put our unborn baby in danger just for our own selfish comfort. I really do wish you the best, but if you're gonna act this way towards all these people who you asked for advice, don't be surprised if no one wants to help you. Ok, rant over.
