I've heard that there are many hazards of smoking while pregnant, but I do not know what they are. Does anyone else? Thank you.

Understand this first, I do not advocate smoking any carcinogens while pregnant. 14% of pregnant women use marijuana to some extent and because delta 9 hydrocannibinol can cross the placenta, the potentialfor daamage exists. However, very few studies done have found an increased risk of congenital abnormality due to cannibis use while pregnant. Let me know if you want more info.

I think that is is generaly better to err on the side of safety. Smoking anything during pregnancy is a no no. The developing brain is fragile, it is better to give up smoke than give birth to a child with developmental disabilties.

a definate big no any smoke of any sort can harm a fetus especially weed cause i mean weed get yah high but imagine what i would do to the fetus remeber the child is attached to you anything you do it does i think it could be harmful to it so definatly dont smoke while pregnent same goes for alcohol. alcogol is worst than weed but theyre both bad for a fetus cigs are bad so just stay cool while youre pregnent just imagine going through birth knowing that youre baby is going to be healthy then after all that you can sit down toke up imagine how sstoned you will get just dont smok in the same room as the kid no cause it will get him high but smoke is bad for a child

I've heard of a study involving 3 groups - mothers who drank alcohol, mothers who smoked pot, and a group who did neither. If memory serves, it was about 300 pages. Does anyone know what it's called or who wrote it?

As for the subject at hand, inhaling smoke is not good for either the mother or child. But of course you already knew that.

There was a recent study (I haven't seen it or found out who paid for it) that claimed that children of pot-smoking mothers were more at risk for SIDS, but considering how little we know about SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome? Can you be more vague?) I don't have much faith in that one.

For a minute there I was worried this would be one of those "Who else likes getting their fetus high?" threads.

I have been really concerned about the possible effects of MJ to my unborn child. I stopped almost completely (ain't that funny) when it was confirmed that I was pregnant. I know that the first trisemester is critical. I respect the fact that my child is sharing this vessel with me, but I must be honest in admitting that this thing ain't easy to shake completely. It helps me to eat regularly. I am relaxed and sleep through the night. And my mood swings are minimal. Never mind the justifications, I have worked diligently to quit all together until after nursing. I am interested in what other mothers have to say about this or even fathers who could be helpful.

All I know is that when/if my wife is pregnant, she will quit smoking marijuana COMPLETELY until that child is born.

Will you quit with her?

My advice is to just quit. It's only 9 months long. You can do it. While there is conflicting data on the harmful effects of marijuana on an unborn child, my advice is that it's not worth any risk.
