smoking while pregnant facts
you think smoking/consuming weed is bad while pregnancy or lactating ?
all people say is side effects this&that but they dont even know what the side effects are … or they say stuff like it will cause brain damage or whatever even tho it HAS NOT been proven ! i mean seriously , for obvious reasons , you cannot smoke while you are pregnant due to the fact that the smoke itself is bad, but im pretty sure consuming is ok . my point is , i need a better explanation&&evidence for people who are disagreeing with this .
seriously !
If I had made up my mind i wouldnt look for answers now would I ?
You can get a Medical Card so it will be available to you . that way its LEGAL .
Im actually 9 months pregnant&hasnt smoked because of it . i just do not see where people get this unproven “answers”
I seriously doubt anyone in their right mind would give you a medical card for it when you were pregnant. Only some states will even do the medical card thing I believe.
Anyway: You don’t have to SMOKE it for it to be bad.

Can marijuana cause birth defects?
It doesn’t cause full-blown birth defects, but that doesn’t mean it’s okay to smoke if you’re pregnant. Because the fact is that pregnancy and unnecessary drug use just don’t go together at all.
Not only that, but with pot, there’s some evidence that use during pregnancy could lead to unnecessary problems for a developing fetus, even raising levels of miscarriage and stillbirth.
That’s because THC metabolites (remember them?) freely cross the placenta, where they interact with developing body systems.
Possible effects include lowered birth weight, nervous system changes, and delayed learning.
And if you’re pregnant (or you’re planning to be), risks like those are too real to disregard — and too important to ignore.

Electronic Cigarette New York City – Quitting Smoking During Pregnancy Made Easy
Electronic Cigarette New York City
Are you an expecting mother who is still smoking? Do you want to stop smoking while pregnant? Congratulations, you are doing the best thing you can to protect the health of your baby. Make no mistake; smoking can be devastating to your baby both while you are pregnant and after the delivery. But you are ready to quit smoking during pregnancy, so good for you!
First of all, please, do not beat yourself up about smoking during pregnancy. You are not a bad person; you just have a bad habit. And just the fact that you are reading this article shows that you want to do the right thing for your baby. So let’s see what we can do to put an end to your smoking habit once and for all and start your journey to a smoke-free pregnancy.
Pregnant women who decide to quit smoking are faced with a myriad of smoking cessation choices. But as an expecting mother you have to choose a smoking cessation method that meets your needs. What are your needs? Well, you have to make sure your baby is kept safe so you want to make sure that you choose a method to quit smoking that is:
- Completely Natural: You want to make sure you are avoiding chemicals or substances that can harm your baby.
- Highly Successful: You do not have the time to try multiple attempts at quitting smoking.
- Fast Acting: Time is off the essence; the sooner you quit smoking in pregnancy the less risk you put on your baby. Electronic Cigarette New York City
So is there a way to quit smoking that meets all of these criteria? Yes there is but let’s take a look at a couple different ways to quit smoking that you, as a pregnant woman, definitely need to avoid like the plague.
First of all do not even try to quit smoking “cold turkey”. Trying to quit with no help offers you a very low chance of being successful. Next, rule out smoking cessation medications as these are just not safe during pregnancy. Lastly, forget nicotine replacement therapies like the patch. They work by replacing the nicotine from cigarettes and you want to avoid nicotine while pregnant. So steer clear of these ways to stop smoking while pregnant.
Now that we have ruled out the unsafe ways to stop smoking what is left? It seems like we have taken everything off the plate. But we haven’t there is one smoking cessation technique that we have left and it meets all the criteria we have listed above. What is it?
Hypnotherapy, specifically NLP based hypnotherapy. NLP is short for Neuro Linguistic Programming. And it is the best way for expecting mothers to kick the smoking habit. It meets all of the necessary criteria: being a type of hypnotherapy it fits the criteria of being chemical free; it is very effective and has a high success rate, and it works fast. It also has the added benefit of being very easy to use; you do not have to see a professional to stop smoking while pregnant with NLP. With NLP all you have to do is listen to a specially programmed recording to quit smoking. Electronic Cigarette New York City

ok for some of you who have had really rude answers, just because i wanted to know if it was ok or not does not mean i have done it! i smoked before i found out and i haven’t sense.
Warning on Danger of Smoking Marijuana While Pregnant
Smoking marijuana during pregnancy raises the risk of fetal brain damage, new research suggests.
Bloomberg News reported May 25 that researcher Ken Mackie of the University of Indiana led a team that studied the effects of marijuana on neurons in mouse brains. They found that the drug helps determine how brain cells make connections — a fact that could have some bearing on fetal brain development.
Previous studies have shown that babies born to marijuana-smoking mothers experience some cognitive impairment. “This is gross speculation, but if the synaptic connections are a little off, then the higher-level behavior might be a little off,” said Mackie.
Endocannabinoids are part of the brain system acted upon by marijuana; when researchers blocked the chemicals in gestating mice, it seemed to increase the formation of neural connections. “The obvious implication is that prenatal exposure to marijuana can change patterns of connectivity in the developing brain,” said Anatol Kreitzer, an assistant professor at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease at the University of California at San Francisco.
The research was published in the May 25, 2007 issue of the journal Science.

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… |
