: Ok, my friend is 3 months pregnant and she has and continues to smoke weed. She showed me a whole bunch of articles (one being from the American Society of Pediatrics and 2 being from doctors) that state that it hasn't been proven to harm your child in any way other than a lower birth weight which she says she would be happy to have. I also know people who have had parents who smoked when they were pregnant or friends who have smoked and have healthy children now. I was wondering what you guy's imput on this would be. If anyone has, or has any more information i could give her. I don't want her to hurt her baby, but she's pulling out a lot of beleivable evidence that it won't really hurt. Thanks in advance btw...
I had a friend who has 3 children with her second child she smoked heavily drank alot and also did cannibus alot. Her second child when born had a lot of respiratory problems that her other children didnt have. I am not sure if it was the direct result of her substance abuse but it may have been. I opinion is whatever you take into your body your baby gets and the effects that you feel surely your baby would feel also.
