I was smoking weed!

[Nubae]

Hi everyone,

I guess im looking for some guidance or ladies that might have been in the same situation or close to as I. I just tested positive for pregnancy, my husband and I have been really REALLY safe but here we are... that .1% but since we had been not trying (but trying not to get pregnant) I had been smoking weed for a couple of months. I am a regular user but not a heavy user. Just weekends and sometimes during stressful weeks at work (which it had been 2 weeks prior to me finding out). I am super nervous about what I could have ended up doing to this life growing inside of me, I have contemplated medical termination but I just don't know. we feel that it might just be god/the universe or whatever telling us its time ( I mean come .1% chances of pregnancy and here we are). If anyone has insight to what the damages could have been, to nothing at all, any and all information is helpful. I did try to schedule an appointment with a OBGYN but I don't have it made so still worrying here.

Assuming you're not smoking anymore, it's fine. The baby is tiny and if you're early on everything is still implanting anyway. Many people do stuff like this before they get a positive. Congratulations by the way!

As long as you stopped when you found out it will be fine. Don't stress and congratulations.

You will be fine, please stop worrying.

I think I saw on here that the placenta only properly forms (enough to pass substances from mother to baby) at 8 weeks. So if you’re less than 8 weeks, you should be fine. Like others have said, stop the weed now and try to relax. Congratulations.

Yes my midwife said this to me as I had been drinking before finding out and she said it's from 8-10 weeks onwards it's actually bad as that's when stuff starts going through placenta

Hey Hun, with my first born years ago I had been smoking weed for migraines and wasn't trying to concieve. He's perfectly fine and nearly 5 years old. I stopped the second I found out I was pregnant of course x
