wondering if anyone uses this or has tried it or perhaps knows someone who used it with success for pregnancy sickness.
I know there are stories on the net using it for cancer patients and a ton of other things... then it dawned on me, why not look it up for sickness.

perhaps I will get flamed for this, and in states where its legal then there should be no issue but i figured I would just ask. I have read about it plenty in midwifery books...

Are there any studies on THC affects?

rumblepurr · 02-03-2013, 01:50 PM

I never did, not a smoker at all, plus I'm a freak about taking anything in the 1st tri. However, my mom was a smoker (migraines) and DH's mom was a smoker and I know they used during their pregnancies, which might explain a few things

. A few people I know also used during their pregnancies, not only smoking, but in butter and adding it to foods they could eat. I'm curiously watching how their kiddos turn out...

Don't know the side effects, but I do know smoking leads to low birth weights.

My grandmother suggested it to me when I was in chemo and I laughed her off. Honestly there are much better legal ways to deal with nausea in chemo I found.

As far as pregnancy, I don't even like getting immunizations while pregnant (and I fully vax on time!) so using it then when I wouldn't even use it in chemo is just silly to me and something that would have never crossed my mind. I think it is semi legal in my state. I think the growers are held up in the state and that is why it isn't widely available. However I don't really pay attention. Seems silly to me that pot would be legal and raw milk isn't.

There has been one study that I read about with moms in Jamaica where its part of their religion. The woman who did the study was not a smoker and had nothing to gain was just a nurse or Dr. I cant remember who wanted to know if there were any effects and since its not legal here did it there. The study found that the children of mothers who smoked were just fine and were actually smarter and more well adjusted than the children born to moms who didn't smoke they tested the babies at like I forget what ages maybe a few months then 6 months a year then maybe 18 mos or 2 and then came back when they were school age. No difference and I'm not sure of it was just a random coincidence but were actually ahead. I smoked with my son when I felt sick and it helped soooo much!! Also I've heard of drs and midwives saying that bc it has no negative effect on adults then it won't on a baby either and is safer and more natural than the anti nausea drugs they can prescribe. Also my son is very smart and advanced for his age and he always has been he's almost 3 now. I smoked pretty regularly while
e I was pregnant but not heavily like a couple hits a couple times a day of reallygood pot grown by someone I know oiganically or a close to organic as you can get and very well flushed.

You would have to be smoking as heavily as a cigarette smoker to have a low birthweight baby from pot. Honestly I was a tiny bit concerned obviously, and I am also very careful about the way I eat and what I put in my body. I also had a girl I know tell me that she smoked with her son and not her daughter and they are school age and the son gets straight As and the daughter is kinda ditsy. I don't think it matters if you do but that's just my opinion.

Melanie Dreher is the woman who did the Jamaica study. I know that many women don't like taking/using anything during pregnancy. I prefer herbs and vitamins versus chemically altered/made drugs. I know family and friends that have smoked or baked with marijuana during pregnancy and their babes are great. I know it helps great with nausea, pain, and appetite. I believe its a better choice than other meds.

LaurenAppenzeller · 02-03-2013, 02:51 PM

Pp^^thats awesome that you knew what I was talking about. I hope that I was accurate in my recollection of the study its been over 3 years since I read about it. Also for the people that said there were pharmaceutical meds available remember that that doesn't always mean they are safe. Also they prescribe opiates to moms too like Vicodin so...I think pots a better choice and if drs could legally say to smoke pot a lot of them would and I have even heard of some of them saying to go ahead anyway.also this part is a little embarrassing but in our area they routinely test babies for drugs in their urine, not sure if its just people with Medicaid but my son tested positive for pot and they were ok with it and said they aren't worried about pot at all. Dcfs wasn't involved or anything like that if that was a concern.

In some states in will cause a CPS investigation. Just an fyi since I have investigated for mother and child testing positive for marijuana.

This surprises me bc I live in IL and I literally had the hospital tell me that dcfs/cps does not investige cases where only pot is concerned. No one I know has ever been investigated either. While it is illegal, for reasons that I dont consider to be legitimate nor do I consider it a drug it also has no known negative effects period on anyone ever. Also I think it really helps a lot for depression and is much safer than anything else. I think negative emotions and sadness during pregnancy can be much worse than smoking pot if you have depression or if you just have whacked out pregnancy hormones. I hope that all the people saying they would never "expose" their baby to pot would also never eat conventionally grown food or consume sugar or caffeine while pregnant either
