whats going to happen if i smoke weed during my pregnancy?

[kmyles]

A girl I know smoked weed her entire pregnancy and her baby's lungs didn't develop. Every pregnancy is different but I wouldn't do it..anything can happen.

I don't think tasha_labruyere was trying to say if u smoke weed your baby will be smart.  She was just making an observation about her family.
Just saying..

also the placenta can be tested in lab and show drug use for up to 6 months if drug use is suspected.

From a medical stand point there are benefits and risks to smoking it in general (not pregnant). Pregnancy though is a time of severe changes not only to your body but your brain as well. There have been many studies of how a womans brain changes while pregnant to prepare for the proper care of that child after it is born. It is very dangerous to take ANY MEDICATION during pregnancy. ANY. There are NO safe medications just some with a less likely hood of causing problems. The placenta is a very special filter.. your blood does not go into the baby, the baby has its own blood. BUT what the placenta does is absorbe everything from your blood stream.. like a FILTER and that filter delivers straight into the unborn baby. Thus anything you take is sponged from your system and given to the baby. This is also how come people can gain no weight or loose weight but the baby grows fine. I think its fine to smoke for your own reasons while NOT pregnant though and dont judge people who do so responsibly.

Dammit just typed so much and then lost it all..  here's goes the retype. First off, my friend started smoking near the end of her 2nd tri and her daughter turned out fine. Research has neither proven or not proven the effects of pot on fetus's. But, research has shown that childrens parents who smoke(after the kid is alalready born), those kids are more likely to have a higher intelligence lvl then the kids who's parents didn't smoke. Because high parents are more likely or more often play and read with their children. Also, its shown that smoking while breastfeeding can dry up your milk. Which is what happened to my friend I wwas referring to earlier. So if u plan on breastfeeding I prolly wouldn't smoke. Personally.. I quit smoking pot and cigs the day I found out I was pregnant, and I choose not to smoke during the pregnancy cuz I don't want to take any chances for something as unimportant as pot.
