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 youre a fucking idiot
Well Mr. Feel Good, I have two adopted sisters, each of them have several problems, such as hearing, and speaking, and they will never be able to be 'normal'. All because their birth mother smoked pot. Tell her to STOP NOW, she should be worrying about vitamins, not freaking pot. I'm actually ashamed that you did not pick up on this. Rule 1# is the baby's health, and you pretty much ground it into dust.
Their is a HIGH chance that your kid will not be normal now, I suggeest she try to make up for it by eating healthy, the baby's entire body in under construction, any m essing with the placenta will damage him/her permanently.
Congrats, you are an idiot.
Drugs destroyed me body so I held the shift down to long and INB$ came out insted of INB4Okay, out of curiosity... the hell's INB$ ?
I took a developmental psychology class in college, which I know does not make me an expert or anything, but we did learn that smoking while pregnant actually has fairly negligible effects on the developing child. As long as the baby is full-term (assuming the mother is appropriate child-bearing years), there should be no harm done, other than maybe a slightly low birth weight. This being said, you'd be better safe than sorry by just quitting for the remainder of the pregnancy.
"A research review concluded that marijuana use by pregnant women is related to deficits in memory and information processing in their offspring. For example, in a longitudinal study, prenatal exposure to marijuana was related to learning and memory difficulties at age 11. Another study revealed that prenatal marijuana exposure was linked with depressive symptoms at 10 years of age."

I realize you are not directly asking about the affects of weed itself, but I just feel like you need to know this. Take my word for it or not, but it's not as if I'm making it up just to be an asshole.
I'm not a parent, so I'm not going to lecture you or your wife on what is best to do for your child. I'm just saying, it's not as if marijuana is physically addictive, your wife could easily lay off the ganja for 9 monthes for the sake of her baby's mental health. It would be a shame if your child had a life long struggle of learning disabilities just because of weed. IMO, it's not worth the riskJust something to think about.
People like to act like marijuana is not really a "drug", but it is. It may not have the same kind of dangerous affects as cocaine or something, but it still does affect the brain and it's development. As a stoner myself, I'd love to think that blazing during pregnancy is okay- and I'm sure some fetuses remain relatively unaffected by marijuana exposure, but it all comes down to the CHANCE that it's not.
actually, the opposite is usually true. The baby is far more protected in the earlier stages of pregnancy, than the later.
and her child is not only fine, but incredibly smart, healthy, and beautiful. He's five years old now and has displayed no developmental problems whatsoever.
No conclusive studies have shown any correlation between prenatal marijuana use and learning disabilities, it's total bullshit/anti-drug propaganda. Don't believe this shit....ask what the socio-economic status of the people studied were. I'm sure it was low, which would explain the learning disabilities/depression.
Anything you could do while pregnant could affect the baby. 8)
Weed is safer than a lot of things, funny how no one has mentioned the insane drugs the hospital gives you and the fucked up birth defects from those.
actually, the opposite is usually true. The baby is far more protected in the earlier stages of pregnancy, than the later. I know this because my friend found out she was pregnant after having smoked tons of weed, taken mushrooms, esctacy, coke, and being drunk during the first two months of pregnancy when she was unaware.
she stopped everything but weed, continuing with the weed to help de-stress and ease her morning sickeness. The doctor told her not to worry to much about the amount of drugs she had ingested because the baby is so protected from chemicals during those first few months. otherwise women would be miscarrying constantly.
and her child is not only fine, but incredibly smart, healthy, and beautiful. He's five years old now and has displayed no developmental problems whatsoever.
good god would i not want the mother of my child smoking blunts.
Amber, it almost sounds like your suggesting it's okay for a pregnant woman to take shrooms, x, drink, or blow some snow while preggo. Though it's true that during the first few months the risk is significantly smaller, there is risk, and this is a harm REDUCTION site.
For fucks sake, it's someone else's life you are dealing with. If you want to risk being in that 1% (probably way fucking higher) that have birth complications because of drugs (be it alcohol or caffeine), then you shouldn't be having a goddamn kid.
Sorry If I came across bitchy to you, you were right in what you said.
I just was sick of what an asshole a lot of people in this thread were being, not to mention the rampant ignorance--someone even said "i hope your kid comes out retarded and is a burden on you for the rest of your life"! That's totally crossing the line. .
So what's the concern with aspirin during pregnancy? Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances. Aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others), block the production of prostaglandins. If you take aspirin during pregnancy — especially after 32 weeks — there's a risk that the baby's blood flow could be rerouted in the uterus. This could cause potentially fatal problems for the baby.
are you fucking kidding me? I was just pointing it out as an example. i do not even recommend smoking marijuana while pregnant. I was just appalled by the amount of misinformation in this thread, and the incredible ignorant attitudes people have, like smoing pot while pregnant is going to cause you to have a retarded fucked up baby and you're an evil person for doing it. It's not like that.
