Common Questions and Answers about Effects of smoking during pregnancy

smoking

Avatar f tn Idk if any of these things are solely a result of smoking weed during pregnancy but i do think that smoking weed does effect the baby. Especially during early pregnancy when the babys brain is developing. Smoking weed is no better than smoking cigarettes because when smoking both you're inhaling smoke and like my doctor tells me whatever i experience the baby experience.
Avatar f tn I have a close friend who has been addicted to marijuana for a long time, she also smoked during her pregnancy and no they did not test her for it when she gave birth. I don't know much on the effects of marijuana use during pregnancy but I strongly suggest that you look into that for the benefit of the baby. I know that she breastfed for quite a while, continuing to pass the drug onto her child. Our sons are the same age and have been friends since infancy.
Avatar f tn If you are pregnant it is good that you stopped smoking weed. Not only is the action of smoking itself is detrimental to the health of the baby, but we do not know how cannabis intake can affect the developing brain. If you were using it for nausea, you may have hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition that causes excessive nausea and vomiting during early stages of pregnancy.
20922415 tn?1661860103 During the reproductive years, the pituitary gland in the brain generates hormones (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH] and luteinizing hormone [LH]) that cause a new egg to mature and be released from its ovarian follicle each month. As the follicle develops, it produces the sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, which thicken the lining of the uterus called the endometrium.
Avatar f tn you should read all the possible side effects of smoking while pregnant and what it can do to your child. Nausea is something almost all woman experience while pregnant and we just deal with it the doctor recommended ways. Try tums, eat 6 small meals instead of 3 big ones a day, try taking famotidine (pepcid) tablets. Just my opinion though. If you feel it's honestly that bad you should consult your ob and talk to them about smoking and if anything else could help that you are unaware of.
Avatar f tn My mother smoked while pregnant with me and my brother. I was born 6 wks early at 3lb, my brother was past his due date and barely weighed in over 5lb. I don't suggest it, I have seen too many negatives of smoking during pregnancy on a childs development.
Avatar f tn Also, if you test positive for any kind of drug during pregnancy guess what?? Your dr can and will report you to child services and your dr will continue to test you throughout your pregnancy. And when your baby is born even if you are negative babys meconium and the placenta will most likely still test positive. So you could possibly have your baby taken from you at the hospital. I don't think that's something anyone wants.
Avatar n tn I have known many many woman who have smoked during pregnancy and their babies were born healthy and at a good weight. That being said smoking is unhealthy and if all possible quit or cut down. As a sometimes smoker myself I know how difficult it can be. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I have taken these few days to do some searching through the medical literature and while there are many worrisome reports cropping up about the effects on the adult users, there is precious little on the effects in pregnancy, and nothing at all on the long term effects on children who have been effected. Spice is as relatively new "stuff" on the market, but what is know about it is very alarming. Professor John W.
Avatar f tn 99% of the time the answer would be absolutely not. During pregnancy, like it or not, your baby feeds off of what goes into your blood and body. It seems that your mind is already made up and you are looking for support in that decision. I've been a member of this forum for a while and I'd say it is pretty unlikely that you will receive any mean responses but it is just as unlikely that you or anyone else will get support for continuing a drug habit.
Avatar f tn I'm not condoning any type of drug use during pregnancy but I will say when I was pregnant with my first child I was extremely sick with "morning sickness" I was in and out of the hospital nonstop. My ob dr finally told me to try smoking a little bit of weed for the naseua Meaning not to smoke it to get high just to help the sickness. Which thankfully my sickness stopped before I had to try it.
Avatar f tn then your chances of getting pregnant are really high, especially if you are sexually activie near your days of ovulation which you are since you said every 2-3 days. You need to take a test and see if you are pregnant, use your first morning urine and follow the directions as followed, and stop smoking yesterday! Plus get on protection, you are so young, have fun and worry about having babies later!
Avatar f tn Although I personally would not do it because of the possible risks, smoking a small amount of weed during pregnancy isn't super harmful. As long as she's not smoking a ton everyday the baby will probably be fine. I was very young with NY first pregnancy, and smoked occasion aly. My child is perfectly normal and healthy. She is very smart. Still I wouldn't do it again, but there are much worse things she could be doing.
Avatar f tn i smoked alot of pot , i did slow down for awhile though, during the duration of my pregnancy before i knew , ive heard both sides in saying if i stop smoking completly ill put the baby in withdrawl or if i keep smoking ill cause lung defects , i havent smoked because i dont want to risk it , im just wondering which one it is , keep smoking or stop ?
Avatar m tn it depends. the first question is really hard to answer becasue your not specific. "how much time is to be taken to conceive after sex..." it could be forever if you dont have sex during ovulation. just because you two have sex, does not mean shes going to get pregnant, and just because you two have sex during ovulation, still might not mean she will get pregnant.
341207 tn?1224245896 hi all, just a quick question and im sure this question has been posted a few times however i was just wondering how adverse the effects of drinking wine would be in the tww and you just happen to be pregnant and find out for example 1 week later thanks girls
Avatar f tn Hey all! I am 8 weeks today, and I was wondering if sex (during any particular part of my pregnancy) should be avoided. Also I am a smoker who is STRUGGLING with quitting. I know I HAVE to quit, but my body is craving nicotine... Any advice?
