Smoking pot/ciggs while pregnant FACTS.?

Research it on Google lots of information on there. I think it's really immature to be smoking pot/drinking while pregnant. Really selfish. Hope she stops soon!

I'm not really sure on the facts. But I know for a fact that my best friend smoked ciggs throughout her pregnancy and there were a lot of breathing complications with her baby after she gave birth. But I also have a friend who smoked pot for awhile while pregnant and was fine. But I in no wa Condone of that nonsense. I wouldn't even want to risk my baby's health

They really have no hard core proff of what it can do, but it can potentially cause breathing problems etc. My biological mother smoked pot, ciggs, drank and some other drugs (not sure what) while pregnant with me. I was born 6 weeks early, I weighed 6lbs3oz (maybe just 6lbs). i had to be kept in an incubator for 1 month, I had jaundice, heart problems (not sure exactly what, I think just palpitations), breathing problems, I was hooked up to a monitor because I would stop breathing and I had fetal alcohol affect (it is like fetal alcohol syndrome but less severe). That's just what i can remember off the top of my head. So yeah because of what I have been through I would never smoke pot/ciggs during pregnancy. I have had 1 alcoholic beverage (doc gave me permission as long as it was only 5 % or less) in each of my pregnancies and both of my kids turned out fine Sadly there is nothing you can do to make her stop.

Unfortunately, there's nothing you can say that will make her stop. She has to know the affects from these actions by now but chooses not to care, or not to care enough. I went from a pack a day to 4-5 cigarettes a day when I was pregnant with my now 3 year old daughter. I was very selfish and thought my smoking wouldn't affect her even though it does. Luckily she was completely healthy, born after her due date and 8lbs. She was healthier than my now 9 year old son who I did quit smoking during pregnancy with. I am 13 weeks with my third and quit smoking, not as early as I should have but I did completely quit and I am so happy. I do not know the affects of smoking weed while pregnant. I know that it can be medically prescribed in certain states during pregnancy for severe nausea and weight loss from morning sickness, and I am personally not against marijuana, but I still wouldn't do it while pregnant. Best of luck and I hope your friend's child is born healthy.

tell her to put the baby up for adoption, give the baby a chance at a good life.

I agree with you, I'd never do that but there's really only a certain time period that they can really hurt the baby. After so long their organs have mostly developed and there is less of a chance, but still some. I had a friend who smoked weed her entire two last terms because she couldn't eat, her doctor made her do it to make the baby gain weight. But I still say eff that she's stupid. In her case, she probably needs reminded that the medical expense of taking care of a deformed, disabled child will probably cut in to her pot and cigs allowance.
