I was smoking pot very heavily when I found out I was pregnant, I told my doctor it was helping with my nausea and he okayed me smoking a little bit to help with it (crazy thing to imagine an OBGYN saying, I know), but I choose to stop smoking it. Well I haven't smoked in about 4-5 weeks and I do not plan to smoke again while pregnant or breast feeding and I am almost 19 weeks now. So basically what I want to know is have their been proven birth defects caused specifically from smoking marijuana in the first 15 weeks of pregnancy? All the studies and things I have found online are inconclusive due to the mother's doing other drugs, drinking and no consistencies in the type of harm done if there was any.

I don't need any berading for smoking it in the past, I stopped when I found out. So please just answer my question and keep any negative comments to yourself. Thanks.

My son will be 8 months old next week. At 6 months old, our pediatrician said we can start giving our son baby food, finger foods and mashed potatos. One day I gave him a zwieback toast and just the feel of it made him gag. He dropped it like it was on fire. He can't touch anything that has a course texture without gaging. Anything he puts to his mouth, he gags and then vomits... He can only touch things that are smooth and soft. I've been feeding him 9 oz of formula by a bottle with 4 tablespoons of rice cereal since he's been 3 weeks old. He suffered from severe acid reflux when he was an infant. Recently he has been taken off all medication for his reflux. He does very well on stage 2 baby food only... Is this something that he will grow out of? Do I need to call the doctor about this? Please, share your stories and advice with us... Thank you for you answers and sorry this is so long...

My last period was on Sept. 9th. I was expecting my period on the 14th and it never came. I took a HPT and it came out negative. I took another one two days later and still nothing. My period has not come and I know that if it doesnt come I should see a doctor. However, besides waiting a could more days to take another test are there any other solutions or suggestions? I am TTC, but I refuse to put pressure on my body. So I know stress isnt the issue. I have never missed a period before, so its strange for me to simply NOT have one... any ideas?

I love to read and have read as long as I can remember. I like to read historical romance books. Yeah, I know they are sappy, but they are so interesting. At night, after the kids are in bed, I fill up the bathtub and soak while reading a book. Then I get in bed and read for another 30 minutes or so.

Can someone help me? I'm looking to write an introduction for nursery equipment that is used for children (not agriculture). Can anyone give me an introduction? Or at least give me points to use in the introduction that I could elaborate on? Things like why parents use nursery equipment today instead of using regular furniture. Etc.

Best answer (which would probably be the one with the summary) will get 10 POINTS!

Thanx and your help is greaty appreciated.
