Rule of thumb, if it's something you wouldn't put in your childs mouth after he/she is born, don't do it while pregnant, it's the same thing. I agree with Clysta.. talk to your doctor and discuss healthy options with him/her to help you out, I've never heard a doctor prescribe weed for morning sickness in my life... or there'd be a LOT more research on effects of smoking weed while pregnant.

People that are so opinionated about weed drive me nuts. Its a plant with no harsh chemicals in it. Its a hell of a lot better for you then smoking cigs. Seriously. Look up the stats. I smoked weed constantly until I found out I was pregnant... then I stopped right away. Because I personally felt like it was the right thing to do. Where I'm from doctors prescribe weed for morning sickness, for a lot of reasons. Stop being so judgenental.

The problem with saying just eat though is that it isn't always easy - especially if you're vomiting up everything you put in you.

Do you have times that are better than others kristaljane? If so, use them and eat things rich in protein and calories. Do you take your prenatals? That'll help provide essential vitamins you need. Try small amounts of broth, ice chips, ensure, and get in to see your doctor as soon as you can.

u can also try Tums to settle your stomach and sickness is normal.....any little bit of food u take in is good. your baby is going to steal YOUR nutrients....in fact...your going to suffer before your baby does...youll become weak as your baby eats your nutrients lol soooo, u may want to eat

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
tell your doctor your smoking weed while pregnant.
you know thats the quickest way to have the state get involved and TAKE your baby from you from the hospital!!!!!

this girl i know gave birth to her second baby back in august and bc she smoked pot, it showed up in the babies system and the state took her baby from her just 2 days after she gave birth......think before you act.

Your baby won't starve unless you were already malnourished. They get what they need from your body and your stores. Drugs will cause far more harm than not eating though, so it's good to never use them (especially when you're not pregnant too) Your doctor can prescribe medications to keep you from vomiting, as well as provide you with a healthy diet that can give you proper nutrients and calories.
