Just a general question as unsure about when to take ecstasy again..
When i was giving birth i lost alot of blood, felt very faint and dizzy all the time and had to have a blood transfusion, 2pints of blood.
anyway, been discharged from hostpital, starting to feel dizzy again.. (obviously dont feel good to take anything any time soon)
but basicaly would it be ok after having the blood transfusion? before i got pregnant i used to take alot of ecstasy all the time, and i have always been safe in what i do, :) im not going to be taking as much as i used to, xD or any time soon, im just wondering if it would be ok after my bloods been sorted or would it affect..
 
It takes anywhere 4-8 weeks for a normal person to fully replenish their red blood cells after donating one pint of blood.

I'd focus on your new responsibilities instead of worrying about when it is safe to take drugs.
 
I think you should give your body time to recover. Having a baby takes it out of you and there are lots of mummies who only start to feel normal after a few months. There's also the little matter of breast feeding, lack of sleep, life style changes and coping with the new citizen of the world. I think you should be more concerned with giving yourself a chance to recover and your baby a good start in life. But of course if you don't see it like that, that's up to you.
 
well thanks for all the judge-mental comments guise. ;') Im not breastfeeding, because of my current treatment and medication anyway -_- and i was talking about if i do get the one-off chance.

but thanks for the comments ;).
 
just like most parents can go out to the pub occasionly.. just because people have a child dont mean there life 'has to be over'
-_- seriously? not talking about everyday every weekend.. im sensable :D
 
No, I don't think that... and honestly, I wasn't going to say anything of that nature as I'm sure you know it already. I'm sure you just want to celebrate the addition of a new life in your family :)



BUT, it should be said, IMO. I'd say wait a month or two, just to be safe, and try and find someone who could watch over your kid for a week or so. You won't want to be changing diapers if you get hit with a really bad comedown!!
 
"Life" as you knew it IS over really. We struggled in the beginning trying to do the things we always did together, but mostly it just became impossible. And there's always that nagging worry in the back of your mind so you can't relax totally.
Having a baby is life changing. Happiness is about accepting that it's changed. This doesn't mean you can't have fun. It's just that the way you can have fun has changed.
 
Sure, lots of people still go out to a bar (pub) every once in awhile after having children no doubt. There is nothing illegal about that at all. Im not sure that is what most people start thinking about when they have just had a baby though. My first thoughts after having children was how can I make my life better and as an extension, my child (ren)'s life the best it can be. I'm sure that there are plenty of people here on BL that have children and occasionally use recreationally. So I think the problem people might have with your question/comment is that you just had a baby and rather than being like most brand new parents who are so consumed with their brand new baby, you were immediately wondering when would be ok for you to start doing drugs.

My biggest concern as a mom and any type of drugs use (even if I had a responsible person to watch them for me to be gone for the night..because you certainly don't want to come home and have try to tend to a baby or even older child while under the influence of ANYTHING) had a lot to do with the fact that anytime, anywhere and anyone can (and they do) get into some kind of trouble or have complications. Drugs were not so important to me that I would risk anything happening that might interfere with me being a mom and there for my child. Did I really want to take a chance on having any possibility of legal issues or give anyone the opportunity to call me a bad mother?? And the answer is it just wasn't worth taking the chance. Also, you never ever know, no matter how careful and safe you are, no matter how many times you have successfully used something before without any problems, when you might have some type of medical issue, bad reaction or get into some type of trouble.

When it is only you that you are responsible for you deal with these issues as they are dealt to you. But life is completely different once you are solely responsible for a totally helpless, innocent dependent life that didn't ask for any hardships. Hardships happen in life anyways but its one you can control and make it be one less to deal with. When and if something were to happen that had to do with drugs (including alcohol) you most definitely will be judged at that time and it wont just be people on BL and it will affect your child's life in some negative way.

I dont think anyone was being so much judgmental (no one said "you are a horrible mother") as they were giving their opinion and advice(whether it was wanted or not). Surely you did not think you would post such a question here and not receive any!!:)

I'd say the BEST time to use MDMA would be in around 18 years when he moves out..

Yeah I agree with this.

When you have a kid it's time to stop partying, you don't need pills anymore, you had your chance to party and get fucked up.
 
of the people saying parents shouldnt use with kids under 18, how many of you were doing drugs before you turned 18?

sen5i please look after yourself and your bubba, im sure you are. i think you should ask a doctor and follow their advice.
 
I'm not saying you are wrong, laugh, or that the original poster is wrong. I just think that people do feel strongly about this subject and you can expect people to voice those opinions. I think that if you just had a baby and you already thinking "ok, I have this kid, now how soon can I start partying again and have my life back?" then you have a lot of thinking and growing to do. Whether or not that was her intention or the way she wanted to come across, it is the way it sounded. I don't think we should judge but we do. And people can get pretty heated when it involves children.

I also just stated what concerns I had about using drugs after I had children, especially when they are still very young. This doesn't mean she will have the same concerns. Everyone is NOT the same. At no point did I say she shouldn't, just some things to think about.

So yes, I agree, the OP should just take care and feel free to do what she feels comfortable with. I just hate for someone to not think through all the possible consequences and be slammed later causing negative impact on her life in ways she didn't have to worry about before.

Besides, IMO it is a whole different ballgame to be using drugs before you are 18 and to be using drugs as a parent and subjecting children to things that they didnt ask for and have no voice in.:\

i didnt say i wanted to use straight after though, -_-
but i am spose to be going to a festaval in september.
(baby isent coming) obviously not planning on using drugs around baby.. or come home to him after :/ i just dont see why everyone is being snotty about it when all i asked was basicaly would i be ok to use again? after having a blood transfusion.. because iduno much about them and i had 2 pints of blood put into me and sometimes i often still feel dizzy.. and i never used to so obviously something has changed with my health, so iduno if i was to take anything again. if it would be possible to pass out or anything, wich i asked on here for 'genuine' advice, but nope everyone changes it to how my lifes over practically
atm i dont wanna leave my baby with family, i actually wanna be around him all the time, but im sorry if people are strange and dont beleive that to be happy and healthy around everyone else, you have to feel happy as a person, if you dont thats when you become depressed and deprived. :/ i know people who have kids and still rave, and tbf it does not make them a bad parent, they still have the money to provide, and love there children.
fair enough if you wanna beleive' that is it once you have had a baby' each to their own.

i was asking about my health.
 
I get it. You are still you and given an appropriate time, you wanna let yor hair down.

I understand where many people are coming from on their other posts. They are preaching harm reduction.

You state what you will do physically to your own body will not effect your child; i.e. not breast feeding, your child is under someone's else care while you go party and get your groove on.

Many mom's gotta go party and go let their hair down. Go get drunk, smoke a little grass, whatever. Some Googling revealed that your blood level will be back to normal in about 30 days based on a conservative estimate.

Given the drug you intend to use and in the spirit of harm reduction, be sure and get a test kit and be sure what you are taking is what you think it is. Ecstasy is NOT my DOC and one of the drugs I in which I have the least knowledge. It is different than what we had in the 80's. Maybe some of the other users can give better advice on that particular drug and the risks to any person taking it.

Having a baby is a big deal and before I would recommend going back to any kind partying, I recommend checking with the doc and check the blood sugar, BP, etc. and make sure your health is as normal as it was before you got pregnant. We just hope your use is recreational and you will not let it affect your ability to take care of your child and be a responsible mom. The consequences of your choices affect not just you anymore. If dong the occasional drug is no different than our moms tying one on back in the day, then party on.

And use a condom when partying on the love drugs. :D :D :D
 
Ethical issues aside, MDMA is really draining on the body due to its sympathomimetic qualities, and I would not recommend it for someone recovering from a difficult childbirth, post-surgery, or post-illness.

Your body needs all of its metabolic activity to restore your body to a pre-pregnancy state, and that takes many weeks. Not to mention the time it takes to recover from blood loss.

You either have strong will or a bottomless pit of energy. If I were in your shoes, dealing with a newborn, post-partum blood loss, and going to a festival would be wayyyy too much for me. But I'm a man and maybe we're not built of the stuff of stern parenting ;)
 
Everyone has different preferences.

Myself will probably stop using hard drugs completely if i have children, as i wouldnt like to be around them and have the mood swings etc that comes with getting on it. I guess a low dose of mdma is the best option if you are certain you want to experience it again, even with having a child your own flesh and blood that needs its mother more than anything being around...

Make sure your feeling 100% yourself, and no dizzy spells or anything going on like that before you consider taking mdma. remember you can always ask more questions in this part of the forum if you want anymore information.

btw i consider 'low dose' night 100mg capsule
