Shrooms & Pregnancy

And this is the exact reason why I think some people should just get abortions.

I have two children. My son is 3 1/2 and my daughter is about 8 months old. I smoked pot basically the whole time with both! I couldn’t eat if I didn’t. My “morning sickness” lasted all day the entire time I was pregnant. It was a little better with my daughter though. I asked my doctor what she thought of this. And do you want to know what her answer was?? She said she can’t tell me any study where it has been shown to do any harm to an unborn fetus. That she can’t tell me it’s ok to do but she can’t really say it’s not either. In fact it’s safer to smoke pot then it is to smoke cigarettes in general. My son is smarter than every other child in his preschool class and he’s only been there for around a month. He’s been able to recite his ABC’s since he was 2, along with recognizing each one. There is absolutely nothing wrong with him. If anything he’s smarter. Now I’m not saying he’s smarter bc of the pot but he’s certainly not worse. My daughter is crawling, sits up, and is beginning to talk. I can’t stand when people act like they know it all. Some of my family and friends have done exactly what I have and they haven’t had any problems either. Now I’m not sure about other drugs. I know that heroinor meth can really make you baby have problems. This girl I used to be friends with in highschool got into that stuff and she got pregnant and thought it was ok if she just did meth! Well, she had her baby at 5 months and it lived for an hour. She put photos of it up on a social site…I can’t believe she was even taking pictures! If it were acid instead of shrooms it may have a different effect since anyone can grow a mushrooms but you need chemicals for LSD. It maybe would be alright if you had done it at the beginning of your pregnancy when you didn’t know. But I would ask your dr. To Heatherlou and the rest of the a**holes on here seriously if that how you feel keep it to yourself. You probably never did any street drug in your life and aren’t dr’s so stop being so negative. You know what can F things up when your pregnant??? Stress, being a B, being over 35 years. old and deciding you are now going to have a baby. Check out the Jamaica marijuana tests. Type that into google. There were tests done in the 60’s into the 70’s on pregnant women.

that baby will probably trip sac

I’m sorry, but mandyloo, I think that post is hurtful and ignorant. there are a lot of things that “doctors” tell you is harmful, when the truth is that they really don’t know. to say that people should have abortions for being curious about certain substances is just mean. that’s like me telling you to get an abortion because you are ignorant and there should be no more ignorant people in the world. grow up. I don’t know about shrooms, but I smoked weed all 9 months with my daughter to deal with severe morning sickness. guess what? she is happy, healthy, high-energy, and everything else a one year old should be.

for some reason it drives me absolutely crazy that people think its 0KAY to smoke pot while your pregnant?! thats freakin rediculous; I bet anything that it will effect your kid S0METiME in his/her life; weither it be behavioral problem, learning problem, or anything of that sort. you see the effect the drug has on your body so 0F C0URSE its going to do the SAMETHiNG to your child that your carring! its going to slow down the development process; im not a doctor but this is pretty much common sense. for you messagemama, thats why they make phenergan and other medications that are okay for pregnany women to take.

Well, personally I wouldn’t believe that it would cause much of a problem. But I don’t think it is smart either. That way, if you baby DOES come out with a birth defect (because these things happen to even SOBER mothers)you don’t have to loose sleep wondering “maybe if I didn’t eat those shrooms my child wouldn’t have Autism/brain defects/lung problems/a hole in it’s heart/etc..” You see what I mean? Why put yourself through the guilt trip? Just wait it out. I’m 7 1/2 months pregnant and more sober than ever. I miss my pot, cigarettes and alcohol, but I love the fact that I am experiencing my pregnancy with a level head and healthy mind/body/soul more than I miss the drugs. Plus, no baby should have to be exposed to drugs… It’s just not fair.

it isn’t very smart to do ANY type of drug while being pregnant, no matter how small or large the amount. A pregant woman is getting the baby ready to come live on our planet, and it does not need drugs in its system. If the mother is that tempted to do drugs she should find something else to get addicted to; like food =] healthy stuff. I always had people shoving that down my throat lol

“thats why they make phenergan and other medications that are okay for pregnany women to take.”

Have you looked at the possible side affects of phenergan? Side effects

Some common side effects include:

* Confusion in the elderly
* Drowsiness, dizziness, fatigue, more rarely vertigo
* Dry mouth
* Respiratory depression in patients under age of 2 and in those with severely compromised pulmonal function
* Constipation
* Chest Discomfort\Pressure. (typically in cases when patient is already taking medication for high blood pressure)
* Euphoria (very rare, except with high I've doses and/or coadministration with opioids/CNS depressants)
* Restless legs [7]
* Paresthesia

Extremely rare side effects include:

* Seizures (extremely rare)
* Neuroleptic malignant syndrome (extremely rare)

I’m sorry, but you’re an idiot if you think that is safer than pot for morning sickness. Keep giving your money to the drug companies and they’ll keep fucking you up like you deserve.

Actually, if you do a little more research you’ll find that there are virtually no negative effects other than potential attention retention concerns in young children. Smoke is harmful in any form…but marijuana in and of itself is not harmful at all. Look it up…marijuana is still used to today to treat morning sickness and labour pains in many developing countries.
