Is marijuana healthy for pregnant women?

Answer 1

As a rule, pregnant women should not smoke anything.

That said, there are studies originating in Jamaica that show little effects on newborn babies, and follow-up studies of those same children when they reach school age show no abnormalities. However, there may be complicated factors, such as the cultural acceptance of marijuana in Jamaica versus the United States.

In short, the medical question of THC's effects on neonates is still open to debate. As a rule of thumb, it is ultimately irrelevant as pregnant women should not be smoking any substance. Always refer to the advice of a medical professional before making health decisions.

Answer 2

I am shocked you have not been attacked for even asking this question.Do you think drugs is harmful.Also your question should have been is weed harmful to your unborn child.YES...It is ...It is a drug..Cig smoke is bad enough..But weed worse..You do know when your child is born they do drug test on them.If they find drugs in your baby's system.They call the welfare..Then you have to deal with that.You know anything you put in your body gets in your child's too.DONT DO IT.. I had a friend loose her baby to the welfare because of it..

Answer 3

You have to look at it this way : Would you let your newborn baby smoke a joint?

Whatever you ingest, your unborn child is ingesting. Smoking can damage the development of your baby's brain, heart, and other vital organs. Just wait until after you have the baby (if you're not breastfeeding) to smoke. And don't let anyone smoke around you. Good Luck!

Answer 4

Yes, it is. It is harmful for anyone to smoke marijuana as it is a drug. Marijuana do even more harm to pregnant women as it can disable the baby, or cause miscarriages or death.
