How typical. "I thought this site was for support wah wah wah wah" do all of you noobs have some underground club? I swear, it's always the same line.

I personally love weed. It helps with my anxiety and helps me eat. I did eat it during the first 3 months of my pregnancy because my morning sickness was so bad, I couldn't even keep down water and my dr actually suggested it...he told me not to over do it and of course I had no I tensions of over doing it. It helped out a lot before, during and after pregnancy, after I had my daughter I had post Partime anxiety and I do not have medical insurance so I smoke week every night and it helps me relax and eat. I don't think any woman should just blow down while they are pregnant but of it helps then do it. My daughter has no health issues and actually reach all of her milestones early and is very smart. My mother smoke her whole pregnancy with me and I don't have any issues (other than my anxiety which is due to traumatic events that have happened in my life) I made excellent grade through out my school years and have an IQ of 118..

Quoting SAFFY™:" And it's safe to assume that the studies only look at the obvious form of marijuana usage which is smoking ... [snip!] ... a pregnant woman eating some pot brownies but have no qualms with taking pills with ridiculous (and dangerous) side effects."

Not just that, but they can't know for sure that weed is the only thing the mom did. She could've done other drugs (legal or illegal.)

I had no idea pot could be used to treat morning sickness. That would have been really nice to know a few months ago lol. I've never smoked or ingested pot a day in my life. I used to be really against it. NOW, however; after seeing all the other smurf the pharmaceutical companies push on people and the horrible side effects they have I am coming around to the idea of herbs. I think it would be hypocritical of me to be all about my xanax (which I am, lol) and then poo poo pot. I'd like to learn more about it.

A vaporized when I had morning sickness. It's legal here in Cali obviously not state and federal laws agree its legal but I have my medical marijuana card. It saved me during morning sickness and the migraines. Edibles are also good incase you don't want to smoke it. But if you do...use hemp wick and not a butane lighter.

Really?! Because I didn't know that my doctor office did drug test... until I got a letter in the mail saying I passed my drug test... I just remember looking at it, like yeah duh... but was confused, why did I get a drug test, apparently it was part of their practice.

They cannot do that without your knowledge or permission. So either you signed something unknowingly or they illegally drug tested you.

I didn't sign anything saying they could drug test me... not that I wouldn't let them. I didn't know anything about it until I got the letter int he mail.

I seriously looked at the letter confused.... because they didn't say anything and I didn't sign anything... it's just part of their practice, they test all their patients.... thats what I was told when I asked them about it...

Quoting Noel Maynard:" I wanna hear them. Good,bad,all for it,all against it. I wanna hear from everyone."

Me personally I think it's a persons choice if they want to smoke it. I know my mom did with every pregnancy and we came out fine...but why would you risk it? I don't think it's very smart, I mean it's a drug either way, it's illegal and if cigarette smoke is bad for you why would you put the smoke of weed in your lungs? I just don't see why people would risk it anyways. I have done it before so don't get me wrong, it can be fun at times, but I don't feel like my son has a choice as to what goes in my body and his right now so why not just put all bad things aside and not do it?

I think anything that can get your kids taken away shouldn't be done. IF you are a parent you should NOT be doing anything illegal. It's just good parenting to want to keep your kids. If it is legal where you are then cool. Just don't smoke it where your kids can get high too.
