I smoked pot all the time before I got pregnant. I was a chronic! I smoked pot for the first month where I wasn't aware I was pregnant and I did it once a couple days after I found out because I was hanging out with my sister and we usually got high when we hung out. I hadn't told her yet and I was scared to tell her and I was very stressed out so I got high with her. It totally freaked me out when I was high and I just got bad anxiety because of it. I felt really bad for doing it because I was pregnant and it made me trip out on the fact that I AM pregnant! It just made me feel really bad unlike all the other times I had gotten high. So, I haven't done it since. It's been like 5 and a half months! I'll probably continue smoking pot after I breastfeed but i definetly won't be like I was before. I'll never smoke it when I am taking care of my baby or anything like that. It'll just become more of a casual thing when I am out with friends.

I still think it's better to be safe than sorry. It's still a drug and just because there isn't enough research on the effects doesn't mean there's not any. It is just the fact of being responsible. You have a baby inside you and I just think that the general fact that you are smoking weed would makea pregnant womenfeel a littleguilty - whether something bad happens or not. I think it's just best to quit until you are done breasfeeding for the sake of your baby.

Quoting Ms. Von Fate: Well,my mother smoked marijuana very frequently while pregnant with me(give her a break,it was the 1970's!)and ... [snip!] ... 165 IQ and am far from slow,and do not have webbed digits.I do think that What To Expect is a horrible book all the way around.I'm just wondering why you think that book is a bad book. Just interested in your view. Your views are very well thought out and educated so I enjoy your opinions. Do you have particular reasons why you don't like the book or have you just heard bad things about it?

Personally, I would never ever smoke marijuana or anything if I knowingly knew I was pregnant. I was smoking cigarettes for a while and I may have been pregnant at the time but I only had about 4 and I freaked out. But I don't even think I was pregnant at the time or atleast I hope not. But yeah I think it's wrong definitely!

That's how I feel about it. If I was still smoking pot, I'd feel like a terrible mom-to-be.

I think it's just best to quit until you are done breasfeeding for the sake of your baby.I smoked one ciggarette after I found out I was pregnant and got through half of it and threw up. I was at my job and was with my fiance. He didn't like the fact of me smoking cigarettes while being pregnant but he thought that weaning me off of them would be more effective than just telling me I couldn't have anymore cold turkey. Well, Kendra Nicole played on my guilt. Never picked another one up. I quit smoking weed as soon as I found out. I still worry that I affected the baby while I was smoking and didn't know I was pregnant.

Oh wow. I can't believe someone would believe that smoking it causes webbed fingers! I mean come on now. Smoking a damn cigarette doesn't even cause that. What are you guys thinking? I busted out laughing when I read that. And yes, smoking does mess you up, but I think some of you guys need to look up NORML. And look up the facts there about marijuana. You should be suprised about what you read. A lot of people pay more attention when they are truly messed up. One great example: You can smoke enough so that you are truly just beyond messed up and get behind a wheel of a car and someone who has just had ONE drink is 4 times more likely to get in a wreck. And that's legal. I know it's one of the big no-no's while pregnant (drinking) but that's just an example on which is better.

Do you have particular reasons why you don't like the book or have you just heard bad things about it?I think most of the information is valid info,espescially for someone who really has no idea what happens during pregnancy,However,I do think that it harbors a bit of scaremongering when it comes to things to avoid in pregnancy,and what not.I believe that if someone who was already paranoid about being healthy during pregnancy ead that book,they'd be afraid to leave the house.

Quoting Lilly89: That's how I feel about it. If I was still smoking pot, I'd feel like a terrible mom-to-be.IMO if you really truly care about your baby and its health and its life then why would you smoke weed throughout your entire pregnancy. It's not like it's an addictive drug and you just CAN NOT quit or anything.. I want my baby to be totally healthy and have all the advantages it can have. If I smoked pot now I'd feel like I was taking away from my baby's development. After the initial scariness of finding out I was pregnant, the last thing I wanted to worry about is having an unhealthy baby or a baby with defects. I just want thr best for my baby and I think every mom-to-be should feel that way and do everything they can for the baby and not just for themselves.

I start the microwave and run off before it's even been a second. It has a section about things that can go wrong during pregnancy but they tell you not to read it unless it pretains to you. Yeah ok that's like saying "Ohhhh girl, I just found something really bad out about Johnny but, you really shouldn't hear it." Your gonna be like "Tell me!!" I read that stuff and layed in my fiance's lap for an hour straight and cryed about how I just knew our baby had all that stuff. Kind of a stupid thing to put in a book

Quoting Irishewwie: Which goes into the depriving the baby of oxygen. Just living where I live causes that. I'm not going to move just because of that.
So you would smoke weed during pregnacy that could cause learning disibiltiys for you baby later on
