smoking

Avatar n tn I am also cutting back drastically each day until my quit day to try to help the withdrawl to be easier and im going to check with my doctor on the effects of withdrawal on the fetus before I quit. I want to do this safely, but surely quit for good! Any advice from previous smokers that would help me kick the habit?
Avatar f tn m barely 3 months, and I still smoke pot but not most of the day everyday like I did before. Ive read up on different effects but nobody really says they are sure anything happens to the fetus, I mostly still smoke because it eases morning sickness, gives me an appetite, and helps me get to sleep at night when I don't smoke for more than a week I get sick and emotional then it gets hard for me to handle any kind of situation.

Avatar m tn Their newborns can experience mild withdrawal and some nervous system effects. And the toxic effects of pre-natal marijuana exposure is the gift that keeps on giving. Effects are often not readily apparent in newborns. Still, psychologists who have studied these babies have found neurological delays. Likewise, few negative effects are apparent between the ages of 1 and 3. But a woman shouldn't be fooled if she has heard of a study where the very young kids show no ill effects.
Avatar f tn Ok, recently found out I was 6w4days. I'm a normal smoker.. my doctor told me not to quit right away because the baby is already addicted to it and that I can wien myself off or cut way back. I've never heard of the fetus or anything of that sort being addicted to nicotine this early.. is my doctor a quack or is he really right?

Avatar f tn can I have some opinions on vamping please, I've quit smoking and gone to a vape pen but it's only water vape isn't it? I'm 6 weeks and I don't know if I should just stop altogether or not?
Avatar f tn Smoking causes more stress for the baby than your stress too you are cutting it's oxigen off every puff u take I was a heavy smoker and I straight stopped I don't want an unhealthy baby there are warnings on the packs too come on girl you can do it don't have an object in this world take control over u I'm cheering u on though :-)
Avatar n tn There is not much standardized research done on this due to the illegal nature of marijuana. You can find MANY websites on the effects of cannibis and blood sugar, though and I am surprised you are on this one asking questions. Do you really think someone is gonna get on this site and admit to breaking the law????? Please!
Avatar f tn So i'm 12 weeks and after smoking roughly 10-15 cigarettes a day before I got pregnant, i'm down to one or two a day. I was told that quitting cold turky would be worse for my baby (especially dealing with depression and anxiety) so even though I've cut down and plan on quitting some time this week, could there be any significant damage done to my baby? I'm really worried and wish I just would have quit when I first found out..
Avatar f tn There are also studies that suggest that the use of marijuana during pregnancy has negative effects on the fetus brain development. There are also some that concluded that it effects the babys behavior later on in life. I've also read cases that states that there hasn't been enough information and studies done on the use of marijuana during pregnancy to conclude whether or not it affects the fetus. Information on the internet is often bias.
Avatar n tn I have been told by my doctor that there is no real on going research on the effects of smoking weed during pregnancy, that being said I do think that you should'nt smoke anything when pregnant as it is probably not good for you or your baby while pregnant. I also agree with some of the other moms on here and think they should legalize it I feel it is safer than cigerettes, but they would probably do warning labels for it like on cigerettes and alcohol telling pregnant women not to use it..
Avatar f tn If u are unsure do a bit of research on the net and ask people u know have had babies questions. I know plenty of people who say smoking ciggies is bad but a bit of MJ every now and then is ok. Just be careful who you get it from. I personally have stopped ciggies and have the odd cone every now and then - wish u all the best with ur pregnancy chick and congratulations :) P.
Avatar m tn s circumstances, by the sounds of it, require several ultrasounds to keep a close watch on the amount of amniotic fluid surrounding your baby, as you have stated, it's on the low end.
Avatar f tn I'm curious about your eating rather than smoking weed. Anyway, I know that for most people, atypical anti-psychotics counteract the effects of psychedelics. I'd put cannabis as a very mild psychedelic. Specifically, Seroquel has been known to stop the effects of LSD, psilocybin & ecstasy. So I think the question isn't how cannabis affects Geodon, but the other way around.
Avatar f tn Plz don't judge me, I'm trying to quit smoking cigs, is the e cig aka the vapor ones a safe alternative to be winged off?
Avatar n tn Category C Drugs that, owing to their pharmacological effects, have caused or may be suspected of causing harmful effects on the human fetus or neonate without causing malformations. These effects may be reversible. Category D Drugs that have caused, are suspected to have caused or may be expected to cause an increased incidence of human fetal malformations or irreversible damage. These drugs may also have adverse pharmacological effects.
Avatar f tn At least nicotine is a known drug as is the effects of smoking during the first trimester. I would take my chances with the known before I would Chantix. It's a class C drug which means it could cause problems. Good luck....I know exactly how you feel.
Avatar n tn t verify if its safe or not during pregnancy. Most of what is known of the effects of oxycontin and pregnancy is from women that take it and report some side effects, not from specific studies. She is poisoning her baby with the cigarrettes and the narcotics.
Avatar f tn U should watch an episode of misbehaving mums on YouTube and u will understand what smoke does to little one. It's your choice you know. No one can judge you on what you do just know what u are doing to baby before u do it. I would love to burn one lol but I'm waiting till she is born.
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 m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
Avatar f tn Any type of smoke can cause low birth weight and the baby to be stillborn due to lack of oxygen. There are many positive effects of weed, but smoking while pregnant because of a mental dependancy is just selfish, no way around that. If you cant put it down during your pregnancy, you shouldnt get prenant.

Avatar f tn My doctor gave me Norfloxacin 400mg dose twice a day for a yeast infection during my first week of pregnancy wthoutout knowing I was pregnant now that i missed my period and took the pregnancy test which came positive I know that i must have conceived a week before I actually got the thrush and went to the doctor saying I probably had the yeast infection and had passed on to my partner when he gave me Norfloxacin without checking if i was pregnant.
