- Marijuana use during Pregnancy. THIS IS NOT A TESTIMONY-BASED VIDEO
:: Created because I did not see videos discussing the literature that covers the topic.
:: I went through as much literature as I could from different journal articles to present what is known on the subject

I smoked and used medical marijuana edibles al throughout my pregnancy. My daughter was born completely healthy, normal birth weight and is 8 months old and is far more advanced for her age. Her pediatrician is blown away. She is my healthiest baby. I use medical marijuana to replace several medications. My other two pregnancies I did not use cannabis, just following my obgyn’s recommended “safe” medication list. Both of my daughters had health issues not related to family histories on either side. My cannabis baby (as I’d like to call her) is the happiest baby ever. We get told this by literally almost anyone who interacts with her. She has popped through 2 teeth and has not fussed once during the teething process. Her pediatrician also was completely amazed to see that. She also started sleeping through the night at 5 days old. Don’t knock medical marijuana, it doesn’t hurt babies. In my opinion in made my baby better
How is your child now developmentally?
Maybe she’s healthier bexUse mum felt better physically and mentally and had more problems wirh the others? I thought my stepson was fine. Ahead of everyone and no problems mentally or anything (his mum smoked Dailey during pregnancy and breastfeeding). The problems came when he became a teen. Now it’s not from his socioeconomic situation or the way he was raised. Because that selfish bitch died when he was 3. His father and I don’t touch cannabis. Not that we haven’t but the depersonalisation issues were too uncomfortable after a while. Anyway he was raised in a home where drugs were bad, yet still one taste ans he was hooked. Nothing we can do will get him to stop. He initially wasn’t even friends with. Those kids that smoke so it wasn’t peee pressure. It was something wrong wirh his dopamine reward system while he was developing. It became primed to be addicted to things.
Research has shown these kids are more likely to be heroin addicts so I’m terrified. So far he just wants dope, but if it’s an inbuilt faulty reward system one shot and Thatl be it.
So watch out later. They are more likely to be addicted to everyrhing even like their mobile phone. Til he was 10 I thought his mum got lucky, (or we did given she mustn’t have given a crap to do that to him then just kill herself leaving him to deal wirh addictions he gave her alone). I think it’s the same as a heroin baby. Baby will withdraw when born xos it had it daily. People just don’t notice as it’s not as bad as opiate withdrawal wheee rhey shake. But they’d still need closed curtains quiet room and would do well with some benzo medication when born to ease into life without weed. Unless mum breastfeeds then shel give bubs enough and get him stoned everyday. How can a baby learn when it’s stoned everyday??
What were those percentages on how much mum smoked gets into the milk? I think it was high. All his good baby memories he was high but doesn’t consciously remember his body still remembers how it felt his vision his stomach his propeioceprion. When he felt it again it was like coming home.
It makes me sick how could you do this to a Child. Avoiding temptation and addiction is hard enoufh for a teen without us priming them for drug use and rewarding their use
Rewarding its use wirh sweet baby implicit memories of feeling safe and warm and loved when he smells that familiar scent (the nose nerves inervafe directly into the amygdala and hippocampus. Which are why scents are so closely liked to memory And emotions). He may not be able to recite the events from infancy, but his body remembers rhw feeling of activated cannaboid receptors. What may seem uncomfortable and dissociative and wrong to me or someone else. Feels nothing but right to him. It’s like finally capturing that moment you carry around in your perfect memory. The smell of your dead mums perfume, sound of a certain song and how it reminds you is safety. There are so many bodily sensations causd by weed it’s hard to keep track. But implicit memory needs no descriptions or explicit descriptions. You felt one way. Now you do again. You had mum and felt safe and associated that wirh the smell and all the sensations. It’sclassical conditioning, those sensations reappear and since rhey weee linked to safe and mum then they trigger the same.
E 😊😊
Thank you. It’s hard to not feel so guilty! I’m 7 weeks now
@@ilovecupcakes8988 feelin this at 7 weeks, too.
Thanks for sharing these recent studies that you looked into! Women’s health is not often talked about and you have excellent speech skills :)
I smoked with both my pregnancies. Obviously I consulted my OB about it first but both my kids are perfectly fine. They were full term, no complications and perfect weight. Heck my second was even heavier at 8 pounds 11 oz.
I'm glad that your deliveries were healthy! Just wanted to share what the research showed for people
Thankfully you commented happy too hear that
Thank you for this
Did the baby’s father smoke weed daily ??
How frequent??
Thank you for stating facts instead of immediately shutting it down without any back up.
Thanks, yep that is the exact point of the channel. Just want to give people the most current data so they can make informed decisions! I hope it helped. Let me know if you have any questions :)
My girlfriend is going thru HG and thc is keeping her alive she's lost so much weight and throws up 80 times a day and marijuana is the only thing that helps after 15 medicines worked for her
really appreciate the evidence based research! thank you thank you!
My daughter had low birthweight but had a 9.9 on her Epgard and was 100% perfect. My doctor was fine with marijuana durring pregnancy he said her birth weight was most likely because I was smaller. My daughter has been ahead in all her marks and is now a very happy 1 year 4 months and is constantly learning more and more. I love watching her development.
May I ask what state your in?
How often did you smoke marijuana?
Excellently delivered and very clearly explained. Thank you. Please be more confident dear you are excellent at what you do. Also, you are very handsome and intelligent Sending you virtual hugs x
Love the video! Thank you for this
My friends baby had SUA. She was high risk the whole pregnancy. The baby came out with a low birth weight and was having seizures. She was in ICU the first couple of months of life. It’s not worth the risk and it’s like playing Russian roulette
So did she smoke weed during pregnancy?
Will baby have side effects after where I quit at 28 weeks?
Thank you for this information.
What about Carts thc?
Is this study based on chronic use or occasional use? I occasionally used marijuana for my pregnancy and my baby was born 9 lbs 1oz. He is 3 now.
Hi, some of the papers that I cite in the video differentiate between low and moderate use. The cutoff for occasional vs. moderate use varies but some say: 3 or more uses in a week as moderate use. Hope that helps!
So overall, there is an increase in SIDS, which we don’t even understand. And the other possible risks are from a 1990 paper and is probably not that accurate? What in your opinion are the actual risks and big problems? I’m a regular user and me and my husband might be getting pregnant soon. I use medicinally and recreationally, and without it my mental health is :( I’m dreading not being able to smoke and would love to know it’s ok situationally.
His findings are very inaccurate! Please do your own research and you’ll find there is ZERO evidence on negative effects
SIDS is due to v’s 💔
Sorry I don’t see links to the papers you are referencing? Am I missing this? Would like to read them
Oh, I cant find them either anymore. Let me refresh them back into the section. Thanks for catching that
@@ScienceWithChris great, looking forward to reading them. I’ll keep an eye out for you reposting them
Low birth weight? Women with HG are losing weight drastically. How does eating more can make the baby weight less?
What about edibles throughout pregnancy, but very occasional, like 1-3 times a month? My nausea , anxiety and depression can get really bad and it REALLY helps . Appreciate your video, thank you!!
Dont do it. Your consuming pesticides
I took a 50 mg edible everyday of my pregnancy and my almost 2 year old is happy, healthy and advanced for her age 😊
The paper you are getting this information from was written in the 90's?
I tried to compile the most recent papers looking at marijuana use during pregnancy. Some of the papers did come out decades ago, but some of them were more recent.
A family member smoked 2x daily throughout pregnancy. She gave birth at 35 weeks and had a 4 1/2 pound baby he was in the nick you for two weeks he had jaundice and a infection. The mother had dangerously HIgh Bp at birth.
I have adhd/anxiety. Adderall is helpful be i saw the addictive and SCARY results when babies come out addicted to it. Im DESPERATE for a safer alternative for my mental health and my baby. 😭
Which medication specifically are you referring to?
How bad are the symptoms?
thank you for sharing!
The problem with your statistics are very old and we’re done on LESS than 20 women. There’s no real evidence in NICU babies and id love to see your “studies”!
This guy doesn't mention the Jamaican cannabis baby study
...... I wonder why
Can you send me a link for the study?
Can usage lead to high fetal heart rate?
Studies have not found that there is an association with fetal fast heart rate
Hi my wife is six weeks pregnant, she smoke weed sometimes but its just once in while so that she can have appetite to eat food at night, because she is always vomiting so what's your take on that
I did with both my kids for the same reason. I would recommend asking her OB their opinion first because each woman/pregnancy is different but my kids turned out just fine.
@@jazzminrandall8581 thank you so much
HI, yea I would ask the OB. There are other medications that can be used to manage nausea in pregnancy that are safe for patient and fetus.
@@ScienceWithChris why would I want to take a medication that likely has a ton of side effects when I could smoke small amount
@@springbrooke6874 what is the medication? I can look up the side effects. The video was an unbiased (as best as I could) approach to the scientific literature regarding isolated marijuana use during pregnancy. happy to look up different medications though if you have questions
Do babies get the munchies after they are stoned?
Appreciate the question, babies usually are eating every 2 - 3 hours anyways after birth
😂😂😂
I can’t stop comparing pot babies to crack babies born in the 90s. Those babies grew up without problems…well grew up without problems related to crack. Their upbringings are subjective and none of my business.
I know crack is 10x worse than weed so I’m leaning towards smoking a little bit of weed every now and then
Pot is definitely a better choice than crack lmao good for you!
@@lexymanco1239 😂😂
My fiance has smoked the entire term. Baby is fine. My wife gained 42 lbs for the pregnancy. She was only at 95lbs before the pregnancy. Smoking helped.
39 weeks and no issues. She coming this week and is very active.
BTW the OBGYN said smoking was fine and my friends are NPs they agreed.
What if I only smoke once during my whole pregnancy? Will it still affect my baby? I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant
HI, Thanks. For what the reseach shows, smoking only once would put you in the low use category. Also, it would depends on when you smoke. Early in pregnancy, the research indicates that THC can affect neuro development
How did your baby came out?
You are fine. You can’t feel guilty for doing something before you knew. And even if you did know, don’t feel guilty. You realize your mistake you’re not doing it again you are an amazing wonderful caring mother congratulations on the upcoming baby
You had me at increase risk of SIDS.
All of the women commenting " I smoked and my baby is perfect!" But they do not know if the child would have been more intelligent, or healthier had they not smoked. So dumb.. why risk it? We live in a degenerate clown world.
All of these “my kids were fine” remind of of the moms from the older generations who smoke and drank throughout pregnancy. Multiple studies show there’s a chance your slowing your child’s development. It’s sad you’d risk that and influence others too just because you were fine.
