Does Anyone Know The Effects Smoking Marijuana While Pregnant Will Have On The Baby, If Any?
This is a tough subject because since marijuana is illegal (in most places) that there is no offfcial government/medical study on the effects of marijuana smoking on the fetus.
I am not asking for opinions, or whether or not you think it is a good idea but what could you expect to possibly happen if you take in marijuana while pregnant?
There are no effects other than the effects of cigarette smoke. I know this,I did my research into it at one point in time. The only real risk that’s been found is possible low birthweight. I don’t smoke anymore,but I know some women that smoked the whole time they were pregnant,their kids were fine. My mom smoked with me,I’m fine. I’ve not heard of it/found TRUE information on anything but the effects of cigarette smoke,which still isn’t good,but yea,that’s all they’ve found. It’s unclear if there’s anything else. I know they drug test the baby when it’s born,and if it’s found in their system,they remove the child from the mother. Another thing-you opened a can of worms on here,and half these people have NO idea what they’re speaking about. Most studies are done where there are other things that have an effect. Marijuana is a NONCHEMICAL ADDICTING substance,so how they say withdrawl can happen is beyond me.

Smoking While Pregnant – Why You Should Never Do it
<!– @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>
No one can deny that mothers who smoke while they’re pregnant put their babies’ lives in a bad situation as they become more exposed to the risks of smoking.
According to a health report made, it was observed that there is a strong direct relationship between a smoking pregnant woman and the risk that a child would face death, it means that every single woman who smokes during the period of her pregnancy is risking with the life of her baby for a cigarette!
On the same report was mentioned the dangers of little cigars, especially when we notice that little cigars popularity is increasing day after day and that people can smoke as much amount of it as they do with cigarettes. It was reported that smokers who suffer any lungs or heart diseases are cigarettes victims, on the other hand, people who smoke large cigars or pipes would suffer some diseases too, but the report was more concerned with those who smoke cigarettes and specifically women who smoke during their pregnancy period, as it was noticed a higher mortality rate of late fetal and infants when they have a cigarette smoking mother, which means having a stillbirth or that mothers could lose their newborn children during the very first few days of his life.
Also it was mentioned that in the United States, a huge number of children who have a smoking mother are behaviorally affected by their mothers’ smoking habits, and doctors observed that about two-thirds of deaths caused by accidents were children between the age bracket 1 to 14, which means that accidents has the first rank in causing death in that age bracket.
In another British report, it showed that mothers who smoke during their pregnancy had stillbirth rate 30% higher than nonsmoker mothers, also smoker mothers had an infant death rate for the first few days after birth 26% higher than non smoker mothers. It was also mentioned that mothers who quit smoking by the 4th month of her pregnancy drive away any dangers that threatens her baby’s life
.
It was also noticed that women who smoke cigarettes give birth to children who suffer a lower weight than other children whom their mothers don’t smoke cigarettes, this note was not only mentioned in this report, but it also had been observed by every health report in that field, some other reports may have disagreed with the result of a higher mortality rate among infants of smoking mothers. Therefore, there had been a great argument about the side effects of smoking mothers on their children, this report also argues that babies of smoking women appeared to be younger than their real age, but not premature. A premature baby is a baby who was born before full development of his senses which put his life in a great danger. And then it was reported that a premature baby of a non smoking mother may face a greater risk than a mature baby of a smoking mother. Even if that’s true, this can’t deny the fact that smoking is putting you and your baby’s life in danger, so you should give it up.

What damage can smoking while pregnant cause the baby?
I recently found out that my mother (who smokes all the time now) smoked while she was pregnant with me and each of my younger sisters. She says the only harm would be a low birth weight, but that it was okay since all three of us were a healthy weight when we were born. Are there any lasting health effects I should be on the watch for?
Baby’s asthma risk isn’t the only reason not to smoke while pregnant. Besides damaging the woman’s body, smoking during pregnancy can also:
Lower the amount of oxygen the baby gets
Increase the baby’s heart rate
Increase the chances of miscarriage and stillbirth
Increase the chances of premature birth and/or low birth weight
Raise the baby’s risk of developing lung problems
Smoking may also damage the fetus’s genes,damage the fetus’s genes, according to a study in the March 9 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
