Don't smoke or take any other drugs while pregnant. You wouldn't blow a bunch of smoke into a newborn baby's face would you? Even your smoking friends would consider you a pretty bad parent if you did that.

I would stop using all drugs, including caffeine and sugar, during pregnancy.
I think that it is simply not worth it.
There is a human body developing inside of her.
You don't get a second chance with this.
If she has a medical reason, like severe morning sickness, then eating or vaporizing weed will introduce less poisons into her body (and the fetus' body).
But I would urge her to limit it as much as possible.
(That said, I personally believe that marijuana is one of the lightest drugs around, and that it is probably better to use than coffee while pregnant. Still, "better" doesn't mean "entirely safe".)
Good luck with the pregnancy.
Please respect it as deeply as you are able.

Are you saying that sugar is a drug?

The people who actually told you what complete fucking tools you and your wife are aren't assholes. They have what we call a brain, if your mature enough to be bringing a child into the world, surely you can be mature enough not to smoke for 9 months.
As nasty as this sounds, I hope the kid comes out retarded and your left with that burden your entire life. Asshole.

I have a friend who had hyperemesis horribly throughout the whole pregnancy if she didnt smoke pot. My mom's a midwife on OB at our hospital and the doctor who works there told her if marijuana helped her then it wouldnt affect the baby just don't smoke tobacco. It's not going to make your baby stupid, nor is it going to hurt them. I'd be worried about the tobacco much more than the marijuana

^^ thats what i was worried about not the weed...
its the smoke...eat the weed...vape it just don't smoke it.

i apologize for lashed out...i lived in a house with a pregnant woman who was very irresponsible with her pregnancy and it did not turn out well.

Smoking whilst pregnant......
# Lowers the amount of oxygen available to you and your growing baby.
# Increases your baby's heart rate.
# Increases the chance of miscarriage and stillbirth.
# Increases the risk that your baby is born prematurely and/or born with low birth weight.
# Increases your baby's risk of developing respiratory (lung) problems.
Fact.
Not challenging this or anything, but how's that true. The baby would get the nicotine or w.e through its umbilical cord so how is it localized in the lungs when it's not smoking like we think about? It's already in its bloodstream so there's no reason for it to only be localized in the lungs...

jeez, so much hatin!
I go of real life experiance, and some of the smartest people I know their parents smoked the whole time while pregnant. Healthy fine individuals.
I would definitely:
A) DO NOT smoke blunts. The tobacco in that shit is the worst of the worst. Its the shit they sweep up of the factory floor and say, shit, this stuff is so shitty we can't even put it in the cheapest cigarettes! Tobacco definitely causes all sorts of terrible things to the fetus. Don't do it in any quantity. Don't breathe in second hand smoke of cigs, cigars, or blunt wraps. Stuff is terrible in all respects. Also, after your baby is born, tobacco residue on skin and cloths have been implicated in SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). You smoke outside, go inside to handle your baby, it dies. Pretty terrible stuff
B) If you are going to ingest marijuana (I don't understand, I though this was a HR site that takes as a given, people are going to do drugs, this whole abstinence rhetoric a lot of you are pushing can be said of anyone doing drugs while even just raising a kid) I highly suggest edible format. Edibles will eliminate most of the potential negative side effects such as elevated levels of carbon monoxide. Smoking cannabis doesn't decrease levels of oxygen in your blood, at least not noticeably. Having constricted airways and fucked up alveoli does. The tar in cannabis may contribute to this but keep in mind, asthma patients can smoke weed and not tobacco because cannabis is a bronchial dilator unlike tobacco, a bronchial constrictor. I do believe stress to be the one of the most unhealthy things possible and if a little mj takes the edge off and makes you happier and more enthusiastic about having and raising the baby, why not? Better than sober, stressed, and pissed off I say.
To those that say oh be mature ya dumb fucks...well, if only everyone was perfect... at least this guy seems to be doing research and trying to figure out what is okay instead of just doing it and not giving a fuck. I mean, we all know alcohol causes fetal alcohol syndrome, but if you are getting anxious/depressed about pregnancies, doctors will tell you 1/2 a drink a day is not going to retard your baby.
Also consider that the blunt wrap probably contains some nicotine and thus makes smoking a bit more addictive (i know spliffs call to me on a higher level than regular joints). So if you are trying to cut down as you mentoined, the blunts wraps might be making it a bit harder.
Don't buy in to the hype! the placenta does a damn good job of protecting the fetus from minor intrusions.
That being said, I would agree substance free is the way to go during pregnancy, but not everyone can do this, and to hold everyone having a baby to that standard probably means 90% of parents around the world are failing. The debate on the competence of the world's parents...perhaps better saved for another thread...
oh an btw, if I could offer a suggestion, don't imbue your child with any prejudices you might have. Your use of the word "fags" could be quite ironic in that perhaps, one day your child will come out to you. Hilariously, homophobia is associated with homosexuality so the genes apparently seem to be floating about there somewhere! Maybe you used it without actually wanted to hate on gays, but your kid will pick up on your cues and perhaps not just use it in a casual manner. You know how kids are, impressionable and, lets face it, pretty dumb lol. Be a good parenting goes beyond just not smoking during pregnancy.

^ Anyone who can't smoke weed for 9 months is in no way fit to be a parent. That kid don't stand a chance.

I think this thread has ran its course of usefulness because now half the posters are just being immature (whilst suggesting OP's immaturity without a hint of irony). Reported.

I feel sad that the OP was attacked by several individuals.
He is clearly worried about the fetus, and has spend time and energy doing research to see if smoking marijuana seems like a very risky thing to do while pregnant.
He is obviously very concerned with the health of his baby, and is far, far more responsible than the thousands of people who continue using serious drugs while pregnant without asking any questions. Many people have no leeway to ask such questions, and are only able to continue their lifestyle, focused on themselves, not their fetus.
It is ideal to use no drugs while pregnant (and, BTW, yes, I do include sugar in my list of drugs). There is no question that this is what we would all do, if we had the appropriate willpower, the knowledge, and the emotional and mental circumstances.
However, life does not always allow for us to be perfect little angels.
Do you have leeway in your heart to understand that not everyone is working according to your ideals? That circumstances can vary, and that some people might be doing their absolute best to smoke marijuana (instead of, for example, using crack) while pregnant? That marijuana is unlikely to harm the fetus, and that it might help the mother greatly?
A woman smoking marijuana while pregnant is EXTREMELY different than one who uses crack, heroin, tobacco, or alcohol, at least to me.
She is very roughly on par with one who uses caffeine, for example, at least to me, depending on the exact situation. Drinking 5 coffees a day is worse, to me, than smoking 2 hits of pot through a water pipe, in that I would estimate that it is more likely to have detrimental effects on the fetus.
Marijuana is a relatively benign drug. My wife and I also researched it while she was pregnant, and determined that light use, like she was considering (smoking one small hit once or twice during the pregnancy) was unlikely to harm the fetus. My wife gave up her 20+-year caffeine habit for the sake of her pregnancy, but she wanted to know if smoking weed would be an acceptable way to relax once or twice. Ultimately, she rejected the idea, saying that she didn't need to smoke in order to relax, but she wasn't adverse to the idea of smoking occasionally after examining the literature on marijuana and pregnancy, and weighing the potential damage against the expected benefits of smoking.
It is very, very easy for people to judge others without actually going through the experience themselves.
Been pregnant yourself? Or your partner? Did you stop all drug use for 9 months, without using anything even a single time?
If not, you have no right to judge other people, especially someone who is making an effort to find out the facts about health and drug use.
It is especially easy for a man to say this, while he continues his drug use throughout his partner's pregnancy, laying down the moral law that she should stop while he continues.
If you have been pregnant, and stopped all drug use, that is wonderful. You are very responsible. However, not everyone is able to do this. You do not know the particular situation of the woman involved. Therefore, I would say that you still have no right to judge her. In fact, I would ask that you would give her the benefit of the doubt, and assume that she is using weed for a good reason, and has determined to do so based on research.
As for wishing horrible things on the innocent fetus, I would consider that to be a more heinous crime than smoking marijuana while pregnant (in my own personal lawbook). I cannot imagine ever wishing something so horrible on anyone, especially an innocent life. I shudder to think of how angry and small hearted you must be to do such a thing.
OP, I wish your baby the best.
I also suggest, as I have already said in this thread, that your partner abstain from using all drugs while pregnant.
However, ultimately, she has to make the choice herself about what benefits she might gain and what potential dangers there are to smoking.
As has been mentioned, vaporizing and eating weed are preferable to smoking it.
Not using it at all is ideal.
(But, if she is incredibly stressed, or nauseous, for example, then using a small amount of weed might be worth it, to her. I hope that you can be supportive of her needs and decisions.)
Peace, all.
