so im worried that it would have caused damage to my baby.
I have been having about 2 spliffs a night.
Obviousley now that i know that i am pregnant i wont be smoking any more andif i had of known i wouldnt have smoked any but i was on the pill and ive had regular periods i only found out friday after going to the drs with what i thought was my appendix playing up.
So please before you critise how wrong this is i know and like i said i wouldnt have smoked if i had of known but i didnt so i cant change the fact that i did for 18weeks.
Has anyone else smoked weed whilst not knowing if so what effects did it have on your child im really worried and feel terrible.

I too was smoking weed and cigarettes before I found out I was pregnant... I was only 4-5 weeks when I did find out. Like you I was on birth control (the depo shot!). All that you can do now is the next right thing (that's all any of us can ever do!). Don't stress yourself our over this! Talk honestly to your doctor! I know a lot of people that have smoked pot all throughout thier pregnacy... To ease nausea and such. They all have healthy babies. Just relax and quit smoking! I'm sure all will be well!
Very Best Wishes!
Congrats!

I have known quite a few people that smoked weed while they were pregnant and their babies were born perfectly healthy. But the main thing I have heard about weed is that it can cause ADD. Which a lot of times won't show up and really affect your child until he/she is older and in school. Try not to worry about it so much because at this point there is nothing you can do about it. Just keep away from it now and finish out the rest of your pregnancy being as healthy as you can.

I haven't but I know people who smoked until they found out and people who smoked the whole time. They all have healthy babies. I think that you should stop smoming and let the doctor know so he can do any tests or just make sure everything is okay. I think it also depends on the person and the medical history. But also if smoking cigarettes can cause low birth weight and premies, pot might too. What is okay for one may not be for the other. Like I said their babies are beautiful and healthy, so do not stress yourself out. The important thing is now you know, so you can do the right thing from here on out.

Honey, dont worry yourself, nothing will be wrong with your baby. And if there is, it would not be beacause of the weed. Some people smoke it the entire pregnancy, and there are no proven problems in the baby, except a lower birthweight. I wouldnt suggest smoking it, but because you arent going to continue smoking, there will be nothing wrong with the baby. Dont worry yourself.

well first of all i can understand how u feel i personally i'm not regular(period) and i've been preg. 3 times and from all 3 i didn't find out i was preg. until i was about 12-14 wks around there and during the time i didn't know i was also blazing and i'm not saying nothing is going to happen but i think i was very lucky nothing went wrong. with my last baby i was preg. and my company had our annual christmas party i was so drunk & high i was feeling so bad when i found out i was preg.a couple of months later; but he was born healthy like the other 2 kids i have.Hopefully everything turns out good

You really need to talk to your Doctor...I ended up smoking cigarettes the entire first month and a half of my pregnancy...not quite as bad as weed, but I still felt like junk (my wonderful doctor..told me I wasn't pregnant needless to say I found a new doctor..)..So stop immediately and consult a Doctor maybe try and google. Don't freak out before you talk to your doctor. Say a prayer and just take care of your body from here on out...and just say no from now on...your going to be a mom!!!! Its so exciting.

dont get your self all worked up. I know lots of mother tha smoked weed when pregnant and there babies where fine. Alot of the time your child could have ADD but, other then that its probaly won't have a big effect. Just don't smoke weed anymore. Also most mothers that i know smoked weed there hole pregnacy. So you child could have no damage done.

I cannot speak from experience but you need to go to the dr and have a sonogram. By 18wks they should be able to give you a clear picture on what (if anything) is malformed or abnormal. Best thing to do at this point is take your pre-natal vitamins and get good pre-natal care.
Don't beat yourself up over this! Stress is not good for you or your baby! I wish you all the best!!!

relax! unless it was laced i would worry. i known peole to smoke "blunts" though out the whole pregnancy the only thing wrong with her kid is ADHD but that doesnt mean it came from the weed many ppl didnt smoke week and there kid has ADHD but i wouldnt continue to smoke. you may want to eat more at this point and take your vitamins so the baby doesnt have a low birth weight
