Pregnant mom smoking pot?

Hi, sorry forgot to add this in my last post.
I don't know if I am going to get smashed for this or not, but. My girlfriend and I have been smoking together since we met, she is now pregnant, 6 months. Her and I still smoke on a regular basis. The thing is she is a very hyper person, and smoking tends to make her more relaxed. We never over do it, 1 to 2 joints a day. The doc knows we smoke we told him flat out we do, but could never offer any medical advice for us to stop, other than it was illegal. should we stop or not? like i said in my last post, we are scared of losing our kid.
thanks snipes42o
ps. a new member but been lurking around these forums for a while now.. and thanks in advance!

Why in god's name did you tell the doctor? Anyway, no evidence has linked smoking herb with fetal damage, so don't worry about that. Alcohol is the worst drug to take during pregnancy, cigarettes (tobacco) are supposed to be correlated with low birth weight.

You can trust doctors if you ask me...maybe if you told him you commercialy made crack by the pounds a day and sold it to school children they might turn you in, but I think you would be safe.

Your doctor cannot tell anyone, that's illegal. However, they will test your girlfriend for marijuana (and they don't have to ask) when she gives birth so make sure she's CLEAN before she goes in or the gov. will step in and then you'll have all sorts of hoops to jump through, privacy taken away, etc. Or go to a local birth center that you know is ok with that sort of thing. There's usually at least one in every town and, if you can, find out discreetly about their testing procedures.

I think smoking anything is obviously not good for your baby. I realize smoking 1-2 joints a day will most likely not harm your baby in any significant way. But, I have heard that smoking pot while pregnant can cause low birth weight too, it must be the lack of oxygen or carbon monoxide. If she has to use the herb while pregnant, why not try some cooking instead of smoking. The cannabutter recipes are easy, same with the milk/cream ones. I think this will be safer for your baby.

I wonder, will the THC have any effects on the fetus? Is it safe to eat pot while you are pregnant?

It depends on where you are located. In Canada, don't worry about it.
In the US, it's a concern. But it's a bigger concern if you are poor, non-white or live in a heavy drug war zone.

These were both provided by Dana in a previous post about Marijuana and it's affects on preganacy and the development of your child. I found them both to be quite fascinating and informative.
