How long does marijuana stay in your system while pregnant?

Q: This is my 1st pregnancy, Im now 31 weeks. I had the absolute worse “all day” sickness until I was about 5 months. It was so bad that I lost 14 lbs, and the Dr. wanted to put me on home IV’s because I could not hold anything at all down. Even if I just sipped water and ate a couple crackers, everything would come up. If nothing was in me, I was still vomiting and bile was coming up until I was just dry – heaving. I found that smoking marijuana was the only thing that helped me. It would make me hungry and then I wouldn’t throw up if I smoked a little while before I ate. The Dr gave me 2 different doses of a medicine called Zofran but absolutely nothing at all would help me. My Dr. knows I smoke because when they tested me I showed positive for marijuana but he hasn’t said anything about it and isn’t concerned. Well I’m now 31 weeks and I have cut down tremendously, to maybe smoking once or twice a week, if that. I know it isn’t right what I did but there really was no other way I could eat. Without smoking, I went an entire week without eating and got very dehydrated. How long do you think it will take for the marijuana to be completely out of my system? I don’t need anyone to criticize me for this, I’m just asking for opinions from people with experience and have smoked through out their pregnancy. Thanks in advance! : )

A: Occasional smoking 1 -2 times a weeks should be out of your system in a week or two max. More than that and you will need a month to detox so they won’t pick it up. Be careful, your doc may still report you and then you will have CPS in your life trying to take you baby and telling you that you need parenting classes. Which is stupid if you ask me, alcohol and hard drugs causes way more family dysfunction. Be very careful, they may test the baby after it’s born. My best advice would be a home birth to avoid the situation entirely but barring that all you can do is make sure the baby never leaves your sight, so they don’t have a chance to test it. Good luck, email me if you want to know more. Yeah, yeah I know what I have to say isn’t popular, get over it.Edit: Thank you Leah! I couldn’t have said it better myself.

The morning sickness/ vomiting is killing me?

Q: I seriously cant handle the vomiting. It has been daily for like 3 weeks now. Yesterday like 5 times. Usually once a day but it is so painful. I do not want to take medicine like zofran or whatever its called. I dont even like taking tylenol. Did preggie pops work for you? What exactly is it? It is a popsicle or a hard candy like a sucker.At least I see some light. I am starting to get less food aversions which is a good sign. Im thinking there is light at the end of the tunnel.Yea I am in the first still. I am 10 weeks. My problem is Im not eating enough because all the food aversions but I think they are starting to get a little better.

A: I am so sorry that you feel so sick. I have good news for you, it seemed for me the morning sickness got less severe with each pregnancy, so if you are planning on having more children at least you can look forward to that. My first I had severe nausea and frequent vomiting. My OB advised me to take Vit B6 50mg twice daily. Your prenatal vitamin contains a very small insignificant amount of B6. Oh it was such as gift from god, it helped significantly with the nausea, without the nausea there was no vomiting! Yay! With my second pregnancy I had slight nausea in the beginning and with this pregnancy none whatsoever! Hope you find something that works so you can enjoy being pregnant!

PLEASE HELP – EXPERIENCE WITH SMOKING MARIJUNA WHILE PREGNANT ONLY!?

Q: This is my 1st pregnancy, Im now 25 weeks. I had the absolute worse “all day” sickness until about 3 weeks ago. It was so bad that I lost 12 lbs, and the Dr. wanted to put me on home IV’s because I could not hold anything at all down. Even if I just sipped water and ate a couple crackers, everything would come up. If nothing was in me, I was still vomiting and bile was coming up until I was just dry – heaving. I found that smoking marijuana was the only thing that helped me. It would make me hungry and then I wouldn’t throw up if I smoked a little while before I ate. The Dr gave me 2 different doses of a medicine called Zofran but absolutely nothing at all would help me. My Dr. knows I smoke because when they tested me I showed positive for marijuana but he hasn’t said anything about it and isn’t concerned. Well I’m now 25 weeks and just stopped because now is when I’m finally starting to feel “OK”. Do you think this will have any effect on my baby? I know it isn’t right what I did but there really was no other way I could eat. Without smoking, I went an entire week without eating and got very dehydrated. I don’t need anyone to criticize me for this, I’m just asking for opinions from people with experience and have smoked through out their pregnancy. Thanks in advance! : )P.S. How long do you think it will take to get out of my system since I’ve smoked almost the entire time so far?

A: you gave good judgment i don’t think it will hurt the baby much but you got to think if your not get any nutrition neither is the baby so you did good for you and the baby
