Avatar f tn Boob size really doesnt matter with my first one i breast fed, i produced a whole lot of milk that i some times didnt know what to do with. I donated some of it. My breasts did grow a little bit while i was breast feeding, however, weed can lead up to several mental disabilities as birth defects, i had looked it up because a friend was smoking during all of her pregnancys and they all came out with a speech impediment, adhd, anxiety and many more problems.
Avatar f tn Weed isn't necessarily a drug. It's natural not like cigarettes all those chemicals which can cause cancer or loss of limbs of long term smoking. As well as alcohol which is damaging for you & baby. Idk abt breastfeeding while smoking if you feel like your not sure you should do some research.
Avatar f tn If you choose to exclusively formula feed, there's nothing inherently wrong in that choice. Especially if you have to work soon after giving birth, it can be hard to establish breastfeeding. So, besides breastfeeding exclusively or formula-feeding exclusively, there's a choice to do both. You could also pump-and-freeze breastmilk in advance, and pump-and-dump when you choose to use (this is also what you can do if you have an occasional night of drinking.

6658361 tn?1384717351 if you will. Both our moms smoke pot and a three us of are fine! I live in CA where smoking weed is pretty open. I told me Dr I smoke I'm only 8 weeks along and he said fine just quit at 7 months so your baby doesn't get taken away because they drug test when the baby is born. That is the only time I will stop smoking and it isn't for the baby or my health. I have smoked pot for almost ten years.

Avatar f tn I think as long as you're not smoking it while breastfeeding you'll be oh k. I've never heard of weed hindering a womans ability to produce milk. Wouldn't worry about it to much until the time comes.
Avatar f tn True true. I knew a girl who had a baby and she would breastfeed and smoke weed and her baby would always get sick. And she's like well idk y he is sick. Well he got taken away sorry to say thank goodness... Uhhhh hello ur smoking weed and breadtfeeding wtf did u think would happen. I mean common sense. Some people really don't care cause they still do it. I have even seen post on here saying that oh my doc said its OK to smoke weed while pregnant or to smoke it while breastfeeding.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if some moms would share stories on drinking after giving birth and possibly on smoking weed.. And if they were breastfeeding. My doctor said it was fine to smoke weed while I was pregnant but I chose otherwise. I would appreciate comments that are not judgmental!
Avatar f tn Lower the amount of oxygen and nutrient available your growing baby. Increase your baby's heart rate. Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth. Increase the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weight. Increase your baby's risk of developing respiratory (lung) problems. Second hand smoke has been shown to be just as harmful.
Avatar f tn m like omg I just need a blunt because my head usually starts hurting after a while of not smoking and I get really frustrated and just want to be left alone getting high was my way of coping with my problems stress etc and basically I just like the feeling but I think of my baby and can't do it I just can not do it bc my baby is more important than my needs everyone around me tells me go ahead it's ok and I tell them they are such bad people for telling me to instead of helping me out t
2026433 tn?1337650833 Everyone has opinion but I think that she should look in to stopping because I was reading a leaflet and it said that the risk of smoking while being pregnant is highly dangerous for the mother and the baby it can cause babies to be born disabled...
Avatar f tn Hello! A friend of mine told me that her doctor told her that smoking weed can make the baby be kinda small but still healthy. Not it all cases of course. I know many women that have many kids that smoked thru their whole pregnancy and their kids are healthy and happy. I stopped smoking ciggs weed and drinking the same day I found out I was pregnant because I'm too scared to take the chance that it will hurt my baby. That's just me though.
Avatar f tn I used to smoke but I quit right away after I found out I was pregnant. You have to be strong find ways to deal with your stress instead of smoking I know it's hard I've had to deal with stress and depression every single day I went thru some hard times but always convinced myself smoking wasn't an optionbe strong for your Baby.
Avatar n tn Does anybody know if it's ok to smoke weed while breastfeeding i only took About 3 hits :\
Avatar f tn You can start soon after you have the baby of you are not breastfeeding just smoke outside nd when you come in from smoking change your shirt because like cigarett smoke weed smoke stays in your clothes
Avatar f tn 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. You want to eat right and stay away from all unneeded drugs and alcohol while you are pregnant and nursing or mothering young children. Please take good care of yourself and that way you can be sure you are taking the best care of your child!
Avatar f tn Let me start by saying that I'm not smoking while pregnant. However, I've read up on it and from what I've read smoking weed won't harm the baby, unlike alcohol which can cause fetal alcohol syndrome! If course some reports say it's bad. Thoughts? Has anyone actually eeaearched this? I'm especially curious about this in states where pot is legal.
Avatar f tn So all this talk about weed and pregnancy made me dream that I was smoking weed just for the fun of it... I felt horrible in my dream (and after) but I just couldnt stop smoking.. idk if this is how these women feel but its not a good feeling. I guess now I understand these women a little better but ivstill wouldnt actually do it for myself.
Avatar f tn and drs say its ok to drink a glass of red wine. i wont chance any of it but they have people that risk and do a lot while their pregnant!
Avatar f tn If you had morning sickness and can't eat as much as you need they will give you an RX for zofran or the generic equivalent. Of you can't stop smoking weed for the sake of your child it leaves me wondering if are ready for the responsibility of raising a child. This is just the first of many many sacrifices that you will make for you child for at least the next 20 years of you life. You a mother now.
Avatar f tn What are some opinions on smoking while pregnant? Risk of quitting while pregnant? Types of complications the baby can have?
Avatar n tn I don't smoke weed, but just keep in mind, alot of states now have mandatory drug screening when you go into labor. And if your positive it has to be reported to Children Services. Just something to think about.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if smoking weed while pregnant could have any effect on the baby? & what kind of effects if there are any. I myself am not pregnant, but one of my best friend's is and she is saying that there would be no harm done to the baby.
Avatar f tn How do you get your baby daddy to stop smoking weed while.
