Very Curious, Tell me,what do you think?...?

Question

first of all this is a serious question and would prefer answers from people that are actually intending to give decent feedback...

I've heard that smoking weed can effect the chances dramatically of falling pregnant,, If a couple wanted to conceive and both male and female are smoking weed most of the time does the males sperm start to weaken? ,, My friend has 4 kids her and her partner smoked weed before during and still after the pregnancy and she had no trouble conceiving and her kids were really healthy.. It makes me wonder if she was just lucky or that maybe it effects some and not others,, please tell me what you think~Thanks

Answer 1

After getting a Driving Under the Influence of Alchol here in America I had to go through basic outpatient treatment that was court-ordered and got the whole low-down on the 'drug angle' as well.
I don't remember if it is harmfull to women that are pregnant or expecting but I recall all the harms they pointed out if a man smokes cannabis prior to getting a woman pregnant. Experts say the THC level in pot causes birth defects and results in 'retarded sperm' so I would guess if the woman expecting is doing it too, it would affect the fetus more because of the harmful toxins going directly into her body thus carrying on to the fetus.
I had a friend from back home that smoked it and he claimed that some girl he got pregnant had a miscarriage and that the child would have been retarded if it would have been born. In ending, people that want to have kids ought to grow up first themselves before making the world a living hell for someone else.
Excellent question and hopefully someone in the medical field will write in and address this phenomena!

Answer 2

my husband has smoked weed for over 10 years and we have 2 beautiful children who we conceived naturally and easily. but i have a friend and they both smoke and have had one child eleven years ago and it hasnt happened again since. personally i dont smoke weed or cigarettes. i quit smoking ciggies when i found out i was prego with first. my belief is i wouldnt put anything into my body while prego that i wouldnt give a baby. its only 9 months and if you want to take up your vices again after that, why not. its best to try and cut down or quit to raise chances of falling pregnant and then when you do you and baby wont have any withdrawal which can also be stressful on a baby during pregnancy. yes, everybody different, try and do whats best for your body and future family.

Answer 3

I think she's just pretty fertile. I dont think that I would test this theory personally, because even though there are kids out there who's mothers smoke weed, and they come out healthy. I wouldnt want to take the chance on my baby. You just dont know what's been added or how a drug has been altered before you got it. And the studies done, show so much damage to fetuses and infants.

Answer 4

i know a lot of people who have kids and both the mom and dad smoked alot of weed and they still got pregnant...
but smoking while pregnant..i know a girl who did this and also smoked somewhat neart he kid after it was born and the kid is slow, i think he's f'd up so i dont think u should smoke when ur pregnant or after the kid is born atleast not around it

Answer 5

well my hubby and i used to be avid pot smokers. we just 100% completely quit 2 months ago when we decided to TTC. its really best to just stop, i mean if there are ever any reasons to quit doing drugs... having a baby is one! it wasnt really that hard either b/c we both figured hey it was fun being stupid while it lasted now time to grow up and get our bodies nice and healthy and ready to procreate. it was deff hurting my hubbys sperm b/c i have never had protected sex with him and we have been together 3 yrs / married 7 months. he didnt ever"come" in me and thats prob what saved us from not get preg b4. or maybe we were jsut lucky. and now that we are TTC 1st month of trying i think he "shot me good" and his lil swmmers made it. so yes pot can make his swimmers very slow and not motivated enough to fertilze the egg. good luck hun.
