    Where are you getting your facts?

    You know the umbilical cord? That's where your baby is getting all his/her nutrition from. Out of YOUR bloodstream...

    You work in an animal hospital? And you don't know this??

    wow!! such strong words!! wonderful you can sit there and call ppl names but ehen it comes to the truth about pregnancy you can't take it .

    That was so uncalled for to call good vibed a c word i can't even say it .. its so rude!!

    Typically speaking you voting and smoking are WAY to diferent things

    Fumes-lungs-baby breathing - not good

    You'll see in the long run

    Yes, You Are In Fact Harming Your Child. That Really Cannot Be Disputed.

    WynterFrost...

    WHY is it not ok to get an animal high but get your unborn chid high ?

    And YES, smoking goes into the lungs and from there to the blood stream. How do you think oxygen gets into your blood cells ?

    No. Smoking marijuana during pregnancy may affect your baby's growth and the development of his nervous system. Studies have shown that children who were exposed to marijuana during pregnancy sometimes have problems focusing their attention and solving problems.

    Children of heavy pot users may also have problems with short-term memory, concentration, and judgment. (There's no evidence so far, however, that marijuana use during pregnancy causes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

    One study even found that young children whose mothers smoked marijuana during pregnancy had a higher risk of leukemia than those whose mothers did not.

    What's more, there's no way to know if the pot you're smoking has been laced with other drugs (such as PCP) or contaminated with pesticides, which would put your baby at even higher risk. And using marijuana increases the chance that your baby will have birth defects if you're also drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco.

    If you smoked pot before you realized you were pregnant, don't panic. The chance that your baby has been affected is very small. Still, it's important to be honest with your practitioner about your previous use of pot and other recreational drugs. She may want to run some extra tests to be sure your baby is developing normally.

    Alright, that's chill. Listen, I figured when I got into this that that was part of the issue.

    If that's what you think though then just go take a nap or something. We're not going to change you, that's fine - I'm sure everyone here wishes you and your baby the best.

    We can really all go on with this thread and just talk about the subject in general, and you can go cool down?

    You asked for opinions and got them

    Now I personally just got out of a college health course and we were taught about the effects of smoking on babies, so that's where my facts come from.
