Smoking weed during pregnancy and having healthy baby?

~*SmAsH*~

So i am a little curious as to why people freak out about smoking weed during pregnancy? I know they say there can be birth defects and learning disabilities, but there is no research shown to prove this. I have a 10 month old daughter who is super intelligent. I smoked weed til I was 7 months along and I delievered with no complications. She talks your ear off,loves to read,has a great attention span and lovees to interact.Not only that but she has never gotten sick except for one ear infection that cleared within a week. My daughter is walking and eating table food solely. Last week at the pediatrician he told me she is in the 97% percentile for growth and brain development. To me thats incredible. I just dont understand why there is so much negativity surrounding marijuana when in my eyes I think it has benefited her growth. Unless there is proof that it is harmful, dont get pissed at the parents who opt to smoke it during pregnancy. Who out there has done the same thing and had similar results with thier child??
yes she can read and im sure "your baby can read" has to do with that but she loves to grab books and sit and read and turn pages. she also knows what books are what.you start to sing old macdonald had a farm.. and she will pick it out of all her books.my daughter is very smart and whether it be the weed or not i know it has had no negative affects
i dont smoke cigs and never did during pregnancy,nor did i drink. it was weed only just to clarify anything.

Answer
*Thumbs up to you for speaking about this* I know several women who did it while pregnant (hell my mom for one,with me) and the babies are 100% fine. Actually,most of them are a bit advanced. I was at the head of my class,and my mom smoked it. Everyone I know that's done it (friends and family and such) has had perfectly healthy babies with no defects or anything,no learning disabilities, if anything,a bit more advanced.


EDIT-Yay,thumbs down me!
EDIT-Actually,jessy explains it perfectly. It's the DARE people that have issues with it,not the ones that have actually done research with it.

Keeping baby healthy during pregnancy... ?

The dog

Ok, I am 17, and pregnant, no comments on my age please, i am keeping the baby as it is my responsibility to.

I would like to know what food to avoid, any things i should stay away from. If i should still walk the dogs, if i should do yoga or something. I would like to keep the baby as healthy as possible, minimize the risk of miscarriage, and complications. Can i take painkillers??

Answer
Congrats on the baby, and I'm proud of you for keeping it! He or she will be a real blessing in your life. As far as food to avoid:
Deli meat (unless cooked to steaming about 160 degrees)
Soft cheeses (unless pasturized)
Raw eggs (unless pasturized, double check salad dressing labels as there are raw eggs in a lot of them)
Sushi/raw fish, shellfish
Alcohol and cigarettes are off limits (obviously)

Make sure to take prenatal vitamins as they will lower your risk for a miscarriage dramatically (and prevent spina bifida, etc.)
You can take Tylenol, but don't use anything else without your doctors permission for pain killers
Colace is really nice as a stool softener when constipated (a common thing in pregnancy)
Exercise is safe and encouraged, just keep it light (walking, swimming, yoga, etc)

Also, they say you should avoid chemical smells such as gas (see if someone else can fill your tank), paint (though I know a lot of people still paint their nurseries), and you should avoid touching pet feces. I hope this helps and good luck!
