I smoked once during my pregnancy

Hi girls, I'm worried because a few days ago after feeling overwhelmed and anxious, I smoked a little (it was just a hit) I immediately felt bad, I started coughing a lot, I guess my body is not used to weed anymore, I'm 6 months of pregnancy and since my pregnancy began I had not smoked, after that I felt very guilty and very worried about the baby. Do you think this could cause any harm later?

I’m not gon lie, I smoke atleast a couple times a week and you have to realize that your body is going to react totally differently. I wouldn’t suggest it because you’ve gone this long and why risk it. I only use it as a way to help me sleep. I know there reactions to every action but my doctor just told me to monitor how it affects my body afterwards.

highly unlikely one hit is gonna cause any harm. i took one tiny puff on 4/20 (around 3-4m pregnant) and my baby had no issues. he’s 3 months old now

I smoked my whole pregnancy with my daughter, and she is advanced for her age. I still smoke and breastfeed and haven't seen any change. I think it's better then Tylenol but ya know I'm not a doctor 😅

Thank you girls!! I think I'm exaggerating , at the end of the day it was only one tiny puff in six months. At each appointment they take a urine sample, do you think it will come back positive? 🤔

it won’t harm your baby. once it hits your blood it’s inactive and no longer contains the same properties that affect you.

yeah if they were going to test for drugs it would be at the time of delivery, not at your prenatal. And they only do that routinely in certain states. I stopped cannabis during pregnancy and found that Benedryl helped when I had really bad anxiety and really needed to chill out. That class of meds has an off-label use as an anti-anxiety med and it’s pregnancy safe.

I think you're fine, but you need to look up the laws around drug testing you and your baby once they're born. I stopped smoking early on in my second trimester so my system would clear out just incase they randomly drug test my baby. I do not want to have any issues for them to call cps even though it's just a flower

I don't think it will cause harm since you took just a hit, I know ppl that smoked all the way up to the third trimester and their babies are fine and smart and nothing wrong with them. just remember not to do it again because it seems like it made you just feel worse. Magnesium vitamins can help keep you feeling calm, I have been taking them since the beginning of my pregnancy and will prob stop after birth and start CBD or ashwangands vitamins after that (I wanted to do CBD and ashwanga when I found out I was pregnant but the ob said no) and then ill eventually get into smoking again when I figure out if I'll be breastfeeding or not. If I do breastfeed I think it will be just pumping and if I can supply a good amount of milk I am probably gonna stack up on it and then have days where I can smoke a bit and throw that milk out and then after a couple days pump again. Idk how that will work but that's what I'm thinking I'll do🤔 but I stopped smoking when I got pregnant, I needed a break anyway

How did you guys smoke while you’re pregnant and have a baby? Did the hospital not test your urine or blood for marijuana?
