This is one thing I found out in the first couple seconds of research

It is very bad for the baby. When breastfeeding everything you do goes to baby... There is a lot research out there about this to read up on... These women on here have probably gone from countdown to pregnancy to this sight.. so they probably have been waiting forever to have a baby and when they se this it hits a really soft spot..n they don't appreciate it... I would do research on your own.. it sounds like you will most likely do whatever you want even if these guys (who are very up to date on everything pregnancy and baby) say not to.. so do your own research please. I personally do not think you should do that when breastfeeding or around baby at all!

AND FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME.
I
AM
NOT
SMOKING
WHILE
I'M
PREGNANT

Honest opinions could have been "No, I don't think you should do it, for this reason, and that"
NOT: Wow!! You really should have held off on becoming pregnant as you are too immature to have kids. Once you decide to have a baby the partying (drinking and doing drugs) stops and you grow the hell up.
OR
"One can only hope that if you are dumb enough then cps will get called on you."

A nice answer would have sufficed. I have every right to get defensive when this turned into 'youre going to be a bad parent'
You'd get defensive too. Now I've had enough with this shit, go find someone else to bitch at.

I agree with jennavee. You asked for opinions but yet getting defensive about it. If you didn't want HONEST opinions than why even ask? When someone normally asks for opinions they don't get defensive about the matter. Each persons opinion is different, but I'm pretty sure on this specific topic...all moms on this site will agree. Smoking anything, drinking any kind of alcohol is a selfish and irresponsible thing to do while being pregnant.

You said "please no hate", yet you are the one with hateful words. If you are going to get so defensive about using drugs while breastfeeding don't ask for other people's opinions.

Studies indicate that "exposure to this drug while breastfeeding and should be counseled that continued exposure of their infants to cannabis may produce severe long-term neurobehavioral consequences - See more at: http://www.infantrisk.com/content/effects-marijuana-fetus-and-breastfeeding-infants".

If you did proper research you'd easily be able to find the unbiased answers to your question. Or, better yet, why don't you just ask your doctor about it??

Drinking is SO much more worse than smoking some bud.
And I'm sorry, but that lady that suffocated her own kid must have been half retarded too. Because I know plenty of parents who smoked after the baby and knew how to handle themselves, and were GREAT parents, regardless of what you guys think.
You were all extremely rude, and I don't appreciate being told I'm going to be a bad parent.

You guys are all ass holes lol.
Just because someone smokes marijuana does not mean that they will be bad parents. How DARE you say so!
I'm very focused on being a parent, no matter what the hell you guys are thinking.
I quit smoking the moment I found out I was pregnant. And still have not had a single fucking puff of smoke since.
I was asking a simple fucking question, not expecting to get my head bit off. Some support system you guys are!
I use MJ medicinally for anxiety, depression, and bulimia. I'm sorry if using an AWFUL, NATURAL drug offends you.
Oh and news flash, in states where MJ is legalized medically, it's prescribed to pregnant women in the first trimester to help with nausea. FROM DOCTORS.
so, maybe you should do your research before putting my head on the chopping block and saying I'm going to be a bad parent.
If you guys think it's such a big deal to do drugs at all while being a parent, you shouldn't ever pick up another beer, or glass of wine

You say you're planning an all natural drug freebirth so why on earth would you subject your child to drugs? You will do what you want no matter what but right now you've beem given a great gift that so many people cant have or are longinh for very much and who will do everything to ensure that precious gift has the best start possible in this life, yet you want to jeopardise that by introducing a well known drug that can cause psychosis into its development?! Sorry but i think you're being selfish, grow up you're going to be a mother now so have to put someone else before yourself for the rest of your life!

I understand "outletsâ??. Although, I think that these habits should change after becoming pregnant and a parent. You are so early in your pregnancy and already concerned about this. It may be a good idea to seek counseling for your addiction, to help insure no breakthrough smoking while still pregnant. I think introducing any drug into your baby's system, whether it be alcohol, pot, etc. is unfair to your child. Don't get me wrong, smoking pot doesn't make you a bad person, but it doesn't sound like you are too terribly focused on becoming a mother. Growing up in a family with addictions, I can tell you personally that planning to have these habits while raising a child is no good. Even though you may think it is just fine, it truly isn't. You're not giving your child a choice by condoning these habits. Your life is going to change A LOT, I just hope that you understand what a blessing it is to be pregnant, and that you make the best choices for you and your baby. Good luck
