Smoking cannabis while pregnant

Every doctor says that’s bad for the baby but I’m emotionally going through a post partum depression after losing a baby (October through December) and also through a prenatal depression being pregnant now (3 months) none of them where planned and I was even on birth control. I’m happy that I’m pregnant now and hopefully it will work this time but some days I’m just emotionally bad, it doesn’t matter how much I try to be ok I just can’t. I have a 5 year old and a husband that love me but I just can’t be ok some days. It gets really bad. Doctors want me to use meds that are fda approved for my emotional health that are not gonna harm the baby but I’m a naturalist and I think cannabis would be more natural even though they are saying that’s the opposite and how bad it can be for both the baby and me right now, so I don’t know if I should trust them or trust me. What should I do? For now I’m doing nothing about it cuz Idk what to do…

Awwee mama congratulations. Also ai can relate cuz I’m a naturalist as well. Wen I was pregnant with my son I couldn’t keep food in my system not even a prenatals. I was loosing weight instead of gaining. Doctors told me they could give me meds bt I didn’t want any pharmaceuticals. So I said no to the drugs & kept smoling my weed. I went on to have a very text book pregnancy & I wish I could have had a little puff when I was In labor instead of taking that darn epidural, which we all know is full of drugs! Im from Minnesota bt I moved to Texas were the laws on marijuana are strict so I was scared that since I lived in non weed friendly state they would cause problems for me bt thankfully all was good. x and I wouldn’t change a thing. Weed is better than pharmaceuticals drugs

I still wouldn’t smoke weed or smoke anything during pregnancy. I would listen to your doctor, marijuana could also be making things worse

You’ve been through a lot and I’m sorry for your loss mama. Have you tried therapy yet? Maybe I’m biased because I’m a therapist myself, but I also am not always a fan of medication unless for more severe cases. I think it’d be helpful to learn some new coping mechanisms while you process this grief, which a good psychotherapist should be able to provide. Medical doctors tend to push for medication because they’re not qualified to actually treat the emotional problems in any other way

i was smoking 6-8 blunts every day to get myself to eat with my first pregnancy. they were shared with my fiancé, but i have bad HG & nothing else would allow me to eat, i couldn’t even keep water down or the IVs my doctors gave me while i was hospitalized. my doctors recommended me to smoke bc they isn’t anything ‘bad’ per say proven except low birth weight. i smoked cigs as well, my baby girl came on her due date & was 5 lbs 13 oz (on 5/13!!!) & she was the healthiest baby born that day in the hospital. if your doctors are saying it’s not good, maybe don’t listen to them. but i don’t see how they can say that when my doctors in WI, FL, & AZ all recommended it for me.

I smoked all through all four of my pregnancies. I was sick all 9 months for all four. There are no studies proving it’s bad. Only thing they can associate is low birthweight. Lots of things cause that too.

Are you able to get the medical card cause we are FL is legal for medicinal..

Medicine like ibuprofen dont work on me or their too strong to handle…unlike cannabis its not to strong and it actually helped alot with my morning sickness,loss of appetite,insomnia…it wont hurt the baby, you mentioned recovering from child loss iam so sorry its sad to here,you need to smoke to help you especially pregnant with 247 moodswings

They rather have you take some fda aproved already sounds sketchy prescription that the doctors have no idea what the ingredients are..i asked the doctor whats inside the meds they prescribed pregnant women as well as prenatals and she said shes not sure…hhhmmmm thats so not cool because babies and pregnant women are like the number one targets big pharma aims at the most for profit
