I would say try to quit. Just remember that everything you put into your body goes directly to the baby - and THEN you. Not you, then the baby. So, every joint you smoke, bowl you hit, etc... goes directly to the baby's brain/lungs/etc...

I hope you make the best decision for your little bundle of joy

I'm not judging, because I'm a pot smoker myself. I am currently 5 months 1 week, and the way I feel sometimes, I would absolutely LOVE to pick up,, puff a few, and call it a day, but since I found out I was pregnant, I haven't smoked just for the simple fact, I'm hesitant to do a lot of things due to pregnancy, that being one of them. I'm not telling you what to do...what you do is completely on you, but whatever your choice, just remember...it no longer affects just you anymore. The choices you make for yourself now, and for the next 18 years, you are also making for your child.

With love,
A new mom-to-be

I'm 13 weeks pregnant. I used to be strung out on weed, I'm sixteen.  Best thing to do is quit , I don't find it a problem to smoke weed every once in a while but I hear weed doesn't kill, If it did they wouldn't use it for cancer. I also heard it stimulates the brain. But this is something the mother has got to decide, I quit.

I smoked weed with my first daughter for most of my pregnancy. My doctor never advised against it as there is no solid proof it harms the fetus. My daughter was born full term healthy weight and is a very bright child for her age now. She never went through a "withdrawl" stage and this was the best option for me during my pregnancy to keep my morning sickness and depression under control. To each his own.. and for some of you please don't judge.

I spoked pot through my first pregnancy everyday very heavily and my baby was fine. i had a couple cones through my second pregnancy and my baby was fine. neither babys went through a withdrawal period.. those two children are now 2 and 7 and they are both healthy. this is my third pregnany. i havent smoked pot for a couple years and this will be my first pregnancy with out tobacco too cause i quit that two years ago and i am more nervous that this pregnancy will have problems because its all different. but in saying that all pregnancies are different, i know complete non smokers and healthy people to have babies.  with health issues.  id reccomend cutting down all bad habits but its up to you.

Some bs called phynergan, that was supposed to suppress my nausea and instead it made me throw up even more. What I'm saying is, put has its uses. I recommend it if you were like me, puking all day every day, and lost 30lbs in 3 months. But i agree with the other person. Its your baby, your body. Good luck  :-)

The day i found out i was pregnant i had been arrested on December of 2012 smoked every day all day non stop. My system is barely clearing up its been a good 4 months.ive been tested for pot.always came positive till now is barely starting to leave my system even though i still have a lil in me. I recommend for you to stop it also depends what kinda good stuff you smoke n how much you do. Cause you don't want to have any of it when you give birth.

The only thing I have ever been able to find was a study done in Jamaica where some of the babies ended up with leukemia.. but who is to say that there wasn't something else going on there like the water or food.. my friend smoked both her entire pregnancies an her kids both have asthma, coincident? Idk. I would quit so u don't have to worry :) I'm sure a hit every now and then will not hurt but like the other ladies say they do drug tests so is it really worth it? No way is someone taking my baby away after this long wait!

I am 37 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby. I am perscribed medical canibus for a leg injury. I have been smoking off and on with this baby. I also smoked a little bit (not much) with my other pregnancies. My other children turned out healthy. When pregnant with my first child my obgy  was a very open kinda guy. And said if it helped with morning sickness then do it. But in moderation. My baby turned out fine. And so far this baby is doing great. And looks helathy and is going to be full term as well. I say , do it if u must. But in moderation. It helps me to sleep and not feel sick to my stomach. And there are no studies proving that its life threatening. So its ur choice. Just cut back a little. :)

I smoked while pregnant with my son because I was a regular pot smoker and had no desire to quit. Although I did quit the last couple of months before delivery. My now 2 year old son was not addicted nor harmed in anyway. I am pregnant again but quit smoking for good about a year ago but I don't see the problem yet maybe just try smoking less often you definitely don't want problems with the law and your baby and it abt be great for the lungs. Also you don't know how it makes the baby feel and you want them to have a choice in whether to smoke weed or not. Idk just a lot of things factor into it but its your choice and I'm not gonna hate on you. Congrats a good luck. :)

Hi herb lol
My name is gab and I'm 17 weeks n 3 days pregnant first pregnancy. From wat I know and been told of course smoking isn't safe. But to me the way doctors n nurses n ppl n general make it seem NOTHING is safe for ur baby while prego! I know tho easier said than try to quit for the health of ur baby, he or she deserves it. Take one day at time, every small victory leads to an even bigger greater success! ;-)

I'm going on 20 weeks now and I'm a regular smoker too. I quit smoking ciggeretts right away when I found out I was pregnant, and it was really difficult. I found that smoking weed calmed me down, and relaxed me. I feel stress is a lot more hurtful on your body then smoking here and there while pregnant. My mom did the same thing with me and my 3 other siblings and were all normal! Good luck girl!(:
