So, I come back to the forums to seek further guidance. Been here a few times before, and I haven't been dissapointed (too badly, anyways) by the turn out of supportive info I get back, I figure it would be a good idea to come back.
My wife and I are expecting twins. Grats all around, no? I'm completely excited!
However, being as we are both pretty big stoners, we are cautious of smoking the herb during her ordeal. Well, correction, she's worried.
I'm under the full belief that it isn't harmful to developing children, as a good friend of mine also smoked all the way through her pregnancy without any complications or problems and her child was born just fine, and with no side effects or medical problems.
To boot, my mother smoked throughout her pregnancy with me and my younger brother, and we're both rather outstanding individuals (in fact, he's over in Afghanistan right now, and I just got my discharge from the military not too long ago.).
Further more, I've called and talked to three doctors so far (none of which, as far as I know, are "blanket pot 'script" docs, and they all said the same thing... while they officially cannot recommend it, they don't see a whole range of problems with her doing it... i.e. it's "better than cigarettes" (which we've both kicked since finding out she was preggo) and "no where as dangerous as alcohol" (another habit kicked, or at least put on the backburner until she delivers).
We're actually going about this in a very healthy mental attitude, and we're doing well by being very, very careful about what scripts she's allowed to take and what she eats, how she works out and keeps up on walking / jogging at least once a day with me to maintain the healthy aspect of it all.
She's just a little unsure about the pot situation. I can completely understand, too, because as much as I hear and get people's input on it, I'm still a little nervous as well.
So, your thoughts and opinions? Thanks all, in advance, for your input.
Toke on, you crazy diamonds.
