am I a bad mother

[babynum4]

During my first few weeks I was super super sick. I mean puking all day with no relief. I took the Phenergan I was prescribed and the Zofran with no relief. The only thing I found that helped and I mean instant relief was Marajuna.  I would hit a small joint two or three times when I got really really sick and instantly the nausea was gone. It gave me the ability to actually get out of bed and care for my other child as well as have an appetite and the ability to hold down food. I only smoked it when I was very sick and could not get relief. I quit as soon as I was able to get thru the nausea without being bed ridden. Does this make me a bad mother? I'm 14 weeks tomorrow and feel wonderful. The baby looks and sounds healthy from what my doctor says. Is it wrong for me to feel so guilty?

OMG... I understand the misery of morning sickness. My 2nd pregnancy I was sick from 3pm-9pm my 3rd I was sick 24/7. It was so bad I would wake up at night & be sick. Plus trying to keep up w my 7yo & 13 month old. I was miserable!! They did prescribe me zofran-I didn't take bcuz I was worried about side affects or taking anything that could harm my baby. There are so many other things that U can do next time (really it's done now so it will be what it will be). I did everything that is in my power to feel better when I was sick, crackers, ginger (tea, candy) ginger ale, sea band, carb water, sour candy, etc. I'm not opposed to smoking it at one point I used to. My girlfriend used it when she went through KIMO for cancer. There are no studies showing evidence that weed makes, delivery easier babies smarter so on. It's the same as studies w alcohol. Drs do not do these studies bcuz the risks are so unpredictable. & really would u want Ur child to be a ginnie-pig in some crazy studie. Every1 has there theory/guess. There is evidence & studies on grown adults/teens that the THC/weed slows brain functions blocking neuro transmitters in the brain so U respond slower, etc-same as alcohol. But it's done now so just be as healthy as u can from here on out. U can't beat yourself up now as there's nothing u can undo. I wish you & Ur lil one the best of luck in the future.

Not at all i know people and do myself my pregnancy is horrible ive also hurd they have considered passing it for pregnant women.. my first pregnancy i felt that way and after what i went threw my first my second one i switched doctors he was fine with it then i had to go back to my old ones and told them straight up i smoked and they can shut there mouth and keep there thoughts to their selfs cause they didnt care for my first pregnancy and i refuse to see some of there staff i did a lot of research on it..

The test have shown that moms who smoke during there pregnancys had an easier birth and there kids are much smarter

That was the only way I gained anything during my pregnancy, my little love is now going on 3 days old and has no side effects... sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to be able to keep your unborn child growing and thriving

I know women who smoked there whole pregnancy without a reason. So I think you are fine, in fact I think that you thinking your a bad mom for doing it proves your a good one :) at least you care already

[Ftmforthewin]

No way girl your not a bad mom cuz of that! If it helps you with that in my opinion is safer and better than Zofran! Just be careful cuz some places will test ur baby's first bowel movement and it can detect weed in that from as early as 16 weeks. Just somthing to keep in mind not to worry you. Congratulations on your little bundle of joy!

I quit as soon as the morning sickness was bearable. But from week 5 to week 10 I was so sick I could barely moved. It honestly was the only thing that did any good. My RN at the Dr office told me it was better than taking the Phenergan or zofran. She said the chemicals in the meds were way worse than the Mary jane. Actually encouraged it in moderation I'm 14 weeks tomorrow and don't need it all
Feeling great :) thanks for the feedback yall. My husband gave me a really hard time about it. I'm glad I can look back now and k ow I did the right thing

[yummymummie]

I use to smoke it years ago I quit now. But i can understand why you took it and I believe that it does heal people in pain. I'd smoke it when I had bad period pain and the pain would just go away.

No you're not

[thatsweetboysmommy]

I agree! The effects without it cld be very harmful to baby, usually the first trimester they are okay without much food because there more so developing but if you couldn't keep water down thats very dangerous! If thats the only thing that helps keep your baby healthy I think ur doing the best for ur baby. I mean dont go crazy with it but it doesnt sound like u are or plan too:) I hope it gets better! Congrats btw:)!
