Pregnancy Info HOME

I just went to my doc yesterday and he said he'd rather I smoke weed than cigs because of all the chemicals. He said even though some are lucky and the babies turn out okay, some don't. The weed is the hardest for me to quit too, how far along were you when you quit the weed. He didn't say anything about not quitting it right away. I think your doc might mean that sometimes the baby can develop an addiction just like fetal alcohol syndrome and might go into shock without it. But I read that that would only happen if you smoked it up until delivery and then your baby would be without it when delivered. And that's only if you smoke a lot, way more than you did. He told me that the biggest reason I should quit the weed was because it's illegal and he didn't want me to get into any trouble with the law. And if anyone finds out when the baby's born and they do a blood test and find an illegal substance in the baby's blood then child services can step in. A good reason to quit! He also told me that he personally thinks it should be legal and wasn't judging me. I thought that was way cool that he was straight up with me and not judgemental. I really, really want to quit both though!!! I'm only 11 wks, but want to quit very, very soon. I wish I could buy 1 cig at a time, I think that would help.
