im 36 wks prego and i still smoke about a L a day..my dr know and he actually insisted on me smoking cuz i lost 10 lbs at the begging…it was the only thing to help me eat. In my opinion, its safe in small doses but then again that is MY opinion…everyone is entitled to their own..thats why its called an OPINION..dont hate on other.

Your post is exaggerated. Make sure to read the source before posting.

Oh and this study I just found seems like they did much more research. 1,360 pregnant women involved in the study vs 44 pregnant women…

I fail to see how your mother smoking while you were in the womb would affect your lungs. Your bloodstreams are connected, not your lungs. Plenty of kids are born with asthma, you're in no position to place the blame on your mother's marijuana usage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma#Cause

the only problem i can see is lack of oxygen, as that's never good for the fetus no matter what is being smoked – but that's easily solveable, there's tons of ways to ingest weed without smoking it. i would like to see more studies on this, it's a really cool topic and it's interesting that there are actually some benefits.

as a female, a mother and a smoker—– I smoked everyday of my pregnancy.I couldn’t eat unless i smoked. I talked to my OB about it and without say i COULD blow, she let me know that mornings would be the best time. I was preggers back in 2002, here in Bmore there was a drought–a serious drought. I called my son a “blueberry baby”. There was no regular at all, only blueberry.

I went into labor (horrible, horrible back pain) and the hospital sent me home. They told me to “come back when u feel the head”. Seriously, so i went home, pulled out many, many micro-mini braids, cried, cursed and cried some more. Then my homeboy came tapping at my door. He rolled up to nice blunts of blue and we smoked. After the first one we played to games of NBA LIVE, i swear i forgot i was in labor. After the second blunt i got some rest.

A few hours later, i went to the hospital with my grandma, had her act a southern ni**ga so they would hook the monitors up to my back. 45 minutes later i pushed out a 8lb 2oz son. 2 hours after that i went outside and smoked a much deserved L.

My son has never shown any deficiencies and is actually extremely advanced for his 7 years. He is physically strong and has been boxing for over a year. No breathing problems that those people warn about.

If weed was legal, we wouldnt even be having this conversation

"When you are pregnant, your body is no longer yours, and your sole function is to take care of yourself so your child can be healthy."

I am not saying that you shouldn't be very concerned and protective of the fetus, but talks like this make me go rigid. The mother is no longer a human? Only a container? The mother no longer has rights? Its this sort of backwards thinking that anti-choice people thrive on. Your body is always your body and no one has to tell you what to do with it.

Here is where I may be seen as a hypocrite, but I don't believe a pregnant woman should toke anymore than I think she should drink. I don't dispute any of the above findings, and I am most certainly not comparing the effects of pot to alcohol, but as a child born to a heavy pot smoker, I can tell you that I have suffered for it. My lungs were not fully developed when I was born and now suffer with asthma. There are positives, but I don't think all the negatives have been studied, and because of that reason, I think staying completely sober while pregnant is important. When you are pregnant, your body is no longer yours, and your sole function is to take care of yourself so your child can be healthy. That is why there are pre-natal vitamins, and emphasis on organic food and nutrition.
