Smoking While Preggers

It effects the sperm count... not the quality.

alrighty then, party hard you've got nothing to worry about, right?

So you are convinced that what you as a man do does not affect his sperm? Underwear affects mens sperm for christ's sake.
I didn't say chromosome damage, I said it effects the sperm which is half of the baby.

That is all sperm is Miss just a chromosome X or Y. In order for sperm to cause problems their would have to be a genetic defect i.e chromosome damage. Things like fetal alcohol are birth defects cause during the development phases of the fetus. Stuff like down syndrome is caused by chromosome damage to be mores specific and extra chromosome.

You are correct that what a man eats, what drugs he takes, ect DO in fact affect his sperm. They usually affect the viability and number of sperm however. Very few drugs cause actual chromosome damage which would be necessary for a mans sperm to cause birth defects in any way.

Nothing to worry about with marijuana...its not a party drug. Its a medicine... And i use it to alleviate my anxiety, and pain.

So when a woman can't get her head out of the toilet from puking from morning sickness, is marijuana still a medicine?

Hard to say Miss, the sad thing is that very little actual research has been done for marijuana as a "medicine" because of its unfortunate legal status. I personally would not smoke if I could get pregnant. I would have no problem being sober for the nine months my significant other would be pregnant either though. Gotta support the woman she is doing all the hard work . . .

I can say from personal experience that it is a wonderful medicine for morning sickness. One hitter and you could almost eat before puking again. I used it during my second pregnancy. My daughter is now 20 years old, with above average IQ. She is aware that I smoked when I was carrying her. She was glad I did. I did not during my first pregnancy and my son was born a month premature from me vomiting.

Made a huge difference from where I stand.

It just really burns my butt when men insist marijuana is "medicine" when they use it, but let a pregnant woman want to smoke one hit to help her nausea and suddenly it's bad and the kid will be fat with a tiny dick and retarded because the mother medicated.

Yeah I don't see any problem with one hit, hell I have seen mothers do worse while pregnant . . .

There is no problem with it... there are some chances of complications. But there is a greater risk with taking caffine, prescription drugs, tobacco, or alcohol. AS long as the weed you get is 100% Organic, with no chemicals. I cant say thats its benifecial because it is yet to be publicized. But i can say from personal and peer's experiance that weed wont hurt.

I am no professional and dont claim to know everything, especially talking about such a serious matter...

This link has some real information... Is it safe to smoke marijuana during pregnancy? | BabyCenter

In the Expert answer is says no... However, the govt would rather you use a anti nausea medication. and I'm sure a doctor wants you to come to him so he can make that money too... so there gonna tell you that its bad. ADHD this, Nervous System Imparment that, cancer... We didnt have those health/mental issues 100 years ago... women have been smoking weed for almost 10,000 years to deal with the hardship of labor. So i'd listen to the people not the experts. And where are all the studies coming from? where are they getting there information? Research facilities funded by the drug companies?... There not going to let that happen otherwise everyone would grow there own medicine and the drug companies would go out of business, and in turn the govt would loose billions and there health care system as lucrative as it is for them would fail... cause no one would be sick anymore cause they wouldn't be taking all the chemicals that are pumped into our bodies every day by the air we breath and the food we eat.

100% organic is the only way to go when you are pregnant.

And the sick thing is its all about control and wealth.
