Avatar f tn 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. But I doubt my dr would tell me to if it was going to cause problems with my pregnancy. I will say it was def not her first choice in telling me.
Avatar f tn Why risk something that has been scientifically proven to affect an unborn fetus? Science was a whole lot different for our parent's generation, scientist know so much more about the dangers of smoking than before. I just couldn't see myself taking chances like that knowing as many negative stories about it.
Avatar n tn either way, Id be horrified to go under with that in the system. They tell you to not even smoke a cigarrette the same day as surgery so i cant imagine what other drugs might do with anesthesia..
1536705 tn?1324329047 As far as I know there have not been any actual effects found for smoking weed. The literature says the only known effects are the same of that found for smoking cigarettes. Although it just cant be good for mum or baby. She needs to ensure that she is taking in the correct vitamins etc and I dont know how smoking weed effects these thing in your body. Have a chat with her.
Avatar f tn I think its both positive and negative. It teaches the kids the dangers of smoking/second hand smoke and the problems it can cause as well as the result od death. As for the negative, the kids with the smoking patents are now worrying about losing their parent(s) due to the day care. Im an ex smoker myself.
Avatar n tn I also doubt studies have been done on the effects of vaping during pregnancy there could easily be unknown dangers to your baby.
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 I would ask your doc before you stop I heard that some woman who stop while pregnant have a slight possibility of miscarrying for the added stress and withdraw.
Avatar n tn Hi, i am a 36 year old woman and i am 20 weeks pregnant; i smoke up to 2 hashish spliffs a day, i'd like to know what the risks there are for my baby of me smoking while pregnant.
Avatar n tn Is it safe for my husband to suck my breast during my first trimester in pregnancy? Are there any side effects or dangers involved?
Avatar f tn Hi. I'm just curious in people's opinions of something. I am an ex smoker. No longer have the habit. My child's daycare have been taught that smoking kills people etc.. so move away from people if they're smoking. A lot of parents from the daycare have come in abusing the child care Centre as they're smokers and there young children keep telling them they're going to die.
Avatar f tn One cigarette is ok, i quit smoking several years ago and the stress on the body would be worse. My mother in law smoked through all her pregnancies and they were low birth weight but all very smart, healthy people. My mother quit with me and i was born with a hole in my heart, same with my brother she quit cold turkey and he was born not breathing. Whether or not its related, who is to say but most people i know that smoked (they all cut way back) while pregnant had healthy babies.
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 t smoked for a couple of weeks. Important only 11was pregnant so am really happy. The stop smoking headlines and groups are really good too and you can get info and help from your midwife.
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 n tn As with any surgery there are some risks; (complications occur less than 1% of the time) but if you are sick enough the doctor thinks you should have a PM or ICD implanted, then heed their advice. Have you looked up PM/ICD surgery risks on the American Heart Association or googled it to see the risks?
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 Try to cut down a lot more, or insted of smoking the full cigarette just hit it a few times. Try to keep yourself busy with other things & keep your mind off of it. Goodluck mama, you can do it!
Avatar f tn That is CHILD abuse in an awful for. The baby isn't here yet and she's already putting it thru hell. I'm glad you are doing good and not trying to rush your baby out. Maybe you could print some information on the dangers of what she's doing to her baby from the internet? So so sad.
Avatar f tn I should have simply stated WHAT it was, not pontificated about the legality of it. It was almost like I was regressing to my own smoking of it and the BS I told my mom. (thinking of course that it wasn't BS at all, at the time). Sorry if I was misleading in the innocuousness of it. Best of luck with your daughter!
