mary jane.

I've read on older posts on here that some ladies said it was harmful if they were heavy smokers and just quit cold turkey? I was a heavyy pot smoker then found out I was pregnant and stopped immediately... is that something to worry about?! Should I even mention it to my doctor? This might sound stupid but from what I was reading it really concerned me! Ill be 30 weeks by tomorrow wouldn't my Dr tell me if something was wrong by now?... sorry ftm and everything freaks me out..  ;/

Me and my sister have done alot of research abo ut marijuana and pregnancy because we are both big smokers and i am 10 weeks. I was the skeptical one and she showed me that it was ok and wont hurt the baby at all exspecially if you eat it. Smoke isnt good for anyone but joints and vaporiziors are the most safe. No blunts because the paper is laced with tabacco. You should quit after the first trimester tho. Anyway just wanted to say your baby will be completely fine, all my friends and sisters friends babies are healthy who smoked their whole pregnancy!

I was in the same situation, I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was six weeks amd I had been smoking heavily. (I have a medical card for two different thinhs) My doctor told me to taper down daily until 12 weeks just to reduce the chance of miscarriage. Here we are 14 weeks and everything is healthy and where it should be. I'd say if you already quit and you haven't had problems yet that everything is good with baby :)

Haha I know how you feel but it shows your responsible by quitting I mean I had no desire to quit like I said until it became real and when I smoked he became more active, I felt bad and stopped. You and your baby will be good though, you don't get harmful or deadly withdrawls like with alcohol or opiates. I don't see marijuana as a drug. And man I know what you mean about stress, Ive had the most stressful pregnancy! I hope it gets better for you and things work out great in the end. :)

Ok I am all knowing. Not really but I know a thing or two. If you are a heavy pot smoker and you quit cold turkey it is not harmful. Guess I just might as well put it out there. I used to smoke pot heavily and did in the beginning of my last pregnancy till I stopped at a certain point cause it all got real and I felt bad. He was very healthy and I don't think it effected him, he is almost 3 and still very healthy. I cant say that its okay for your baby but no I didn't have any problems and neither did he. I don' t smoke anymore but I sure wish I did, I'd be a lot happier. Just how I feel about it. It definitely did not hurt your baby to quit though. You don't get terrible physical withdrawls and it harm or kill you and neither does your baby.

Honestly they can't tell anything till the baby is born. Could effect lungs and other things. But don't stress! You should be fine! Maybe mention it to your doctor to talk about the possible issues. Give yourself a piece of mind :)
