Moms-To-Be Are Choosing Marijuana As Doctors Express Concerns | NBC Nightly News
Pregnant women are increasingly turning to marijuana to deal with ailments like morning sickness, chronic pain, and depression — even as doctors warn …
I smoked my first and second trimester because my morning sickness was beyond severe. It was the only thing that gave me my appetite back. My unborn son is just fine and he’s due to arrive next month. I can understand the concerns from doctors with all the unknowns, but all the fear mongering and stigmatizing is completely uncalled for. Plus they try to put you on other medications that have side effects that, while they are indeed unlikely to effect your baby, might cause worse possible side effects. I had a script for ondansetron and took it. Sure it helped the nausea but not the loss of appetite. Plus it has possible heart defects, so I decided to go with 2 hits from a bowl per day. Worked like an absolute dream.
I am pregnant and I stop smoking in the first month and now after two month some girls told me they had healthy baby's while smoking and this information make me relapse. I am so stupid because now I back to fighting this hapit and really I hated thats I listened to them I feel that I am so selfish and I don't deserve to be mom I just hope my baby will be ok I would die from sadness if anything happened to him because of my smoking.
I am 7 weeks pregnant. I’m smoking weed thru my pregnancy. As someone who drank every single night up until I realized I was pregnant. Weed is helping me cope with newness of being sober. I stopped edibles tho. But still smoke flower and cartridges
I agree with this concepts and frameworks. Are people smoking inside homes, with their children in the house? Does it matter? I'm a supporter of medical use
The fact people call it high just shows, as you’re not on a high, you’re relaxed and calm, so I guess you’re on a low. A high is when you take a hit on something that makes you feel “high”
I smoked weed instead of taking reglan. I hate taking pills. And after research I learned I wasn’t the only woman that chose weed over pill or prescription opioids
The best way to judge most things is how beneficial a “party” is financially… Right now, Big pharma will jump on the MJ bandwagon…they have to, just like how all “media” HAD TO jump onto the Internet bandwagon. It’s a threat they won’t be able to control…but they can cover their future losses by getting involved…to which, I’m sure they are doing as we type. 😉
We’re “the shimmys” and we’re a family that supports the Cannabis strain Check out a farm we visited for the first time in this episode. https://youtu.be/XwLpLjjv7wY
Okay so get this. My mom never smoked (weed and or cigarettes) or drank (alcohol and or coffee) while pregnant with me and basically i have learning disabilities and mental illnesses. But when a teen was on zoloft (which is something im on for my mental health) he killed someone, yeah people talk about it but not as much as the "negative effects" of weed??? Make it make sense
I am currently 7 weeks and i need to smoke to keep my all day morning sickness at bay while trying not to vomit everywhere ! I am my only advocate for my health and my unborn so i choose to treat myself naturally.
Anything got to do with smoke in to the lungs is cancerous,wether natural or toxic,some could happen so fast,especially when deliberately smoked through the mouth, ,smoking makes you grow and look old quicker,just wise up and don't be fooled or foolish
They played a potentially dangerous game. That said, however, morphine is no joke. That's how we ended up with the opioid crisis. Stop prescribing morphine for minor pain. Morphine is supposed to be used for MAJOR pain like car accidents.
Friends mom was smoking pot while we were growing up, I was so sheltered I didn’t find out what it really was until my mid 20s. Long story short after high school, I went to college and she started doing pornography. Even in middle school she was always out of her mind and would be yelling randomly during class or making some kind of outburst. Started taking her clothes off after school for money. I always felt sorry for her and recently learned her biological mom smoked pot during her pregnancy. Let this be a lesson to all pot smoking mothers out there.
One day you’re husband or boyfriend is gonna be watching an adult movie and then all of a sudden start screaming as you run into the room and see your daughter on screen getting Cucked!
I feel her. I didn't do it while pregnant but I would for the next. I was so sick, couldn't keep food or water down. You gotta do what's best for you to get you through. I applaud them. Anxiety and depression is what I experience but no pharmaceuticals needed. 420 saved my life. Whatever, I'm lifted all day 😚
I have severe morning sickness that prevents me from keeping anything down. I’ve lost weight because of this, and the ONLY thing that’s helped me so far is smoking weed. I don’t care what the haters say!
What I don’t understand is why it’s such an issue to use marijuana when it’s been done for hundreds of years before it was made illegal, and the doctor said it can have no risk for the baby or it could cause mental disorders, learning disabilities, etc but that can happen anyway..I recently found out I’m pregnant and I’ve been smoking marijuana for almost 10 years and I really want to know if there is any actual risks but I can’t find any ground evidence as to whether or not there is a risk. I would like to continue using marijuana but it is still illegal in the state I live in(I live in the US, still not legal within the entire country)
I’m an ex cancer patient . I was told I couldn’t reproduce but I’m 6 months pregnant now I smoke marijuana not much but I do because I couldnt eat and when I was going through chemo I was introduced to acid reflex In which my body can’t hold food down . I lost 12 lbs while I was pregnant a joint helped a lot I can eat I’m gaining my weight back and my baby is healthy as ever . It’s not so much selfish that I smoke while pregnant because if I didn’t I wouldn’t be able to eat without throwing up and more weight loss and that’s not healthy for the baby either .
The real question is: why are you depressed or suffer from other illnesses in the first place? You have to question why people smoke in the first place. It doesn’t address the root problem, like all the other drugs out there. However, pregnancy is nooooo joke, trust me.
What a bunch of snowflakes. Neither me nor my mom et al smoked pot when I/they were pregnant. We put up with morning sickness and feeling ill many days, but we carried on. This is just an excuse to keep smoking pot like you did before you were pregnant.
The first woman looks way more toxic man.
Time to legalize it in the Philippines.

Some states have laws where pregnant mothers can be arrested for failing a drug test at the doctor. Healthy or not won't matter at that point.

“I decided to consume cannabis” 😂 gurl you decided to GET HIGH just say it lol

Interesting

I agree with most of the video but… what i don't get is why do you smoke inside your home ?
I am currently 7 weeks and i need to smoke to keep my all day morning sickness at bay while trying not to vomit everywhere ! I am my only advocate for my health and my unborn so i choose to treat myself naturally.
Dangerous!!… Not convinced whatsoever
"Don't smoke weed but I'll hook you up with some morphine"

To get your best medical cannabis text/whatsapp +15304970753 or wickr at kingcoal he got good stuff and he's legit
My nausea medication from my first pregnancy was later recalled for causing defects… everything they give us has risks!
Quick story:
Friends mom was smoking pot while we were growing up, I was so sheltered I didn’t find out what it really was until my mid 20s. Long story short after high school, I went to college and she started doing pornography. Even in middle school she was always out of her mind and would be yelling randomly during class or making some kind of outburst. Started taking her clothes off after school for money. I always felt sorry for her and recently learned her biological mom smoked pot during her pregnancy. Let this be a lesson to all pot smoking mothers out there.

If she would have continued the morphine the baby would have been forced through withdrawals immediately after the umbilical cord was cut.

The babies are just fine. The initial case study results were revealed and studied in Jamaica. NO harmful effects short term or long term.
What about "my body my choice"? Its just a clump of cells!!??
Morphine is fine during pregnancy but cannabis isn’t? How insane does that sound?
