Will smoking help my pregnancy nausea and is it safer than Zofran?

How do you think smoking once or twice a week would be enough to help? Have you tried cbd? anything you put in your body goes into the baby

 

whom ever you doctor is ,you need to rid of him or her,zofran is for chemo patients, this is in your own court ,but i highly doubt there are doctors on this site that can help you.
for you to know my wife lost a bunch of weight during her second pregnacy,the baby is draining your thyroid so find another doc,that is if you are serious ,if you arent this is a really tacky thread.
always get a second and or even a third opinon when it comes to these doctor/druggest salesmen

 

My wife ate a lot of ginger chews during pregnancy, help to settle the stomach. However it really comes down to making yourself eat regularly. It's hard to do. I'd recommend making some cannabis pills to help stimulate appetite or maybe brownie bites you could eat. Seeing as how it's what's you need to be doing, eating that is, I'd say focus on your favorite foods and having easy snack available which you love. Cannabis can help give you the munchies that's for sure.

 

You shouldn't be smoking anything when pregnant.

 

My concern is that getting nausea once or twice a week isn't gonna be what is making your weight drop. Your regular eating habits are most likely needing to be looked at.
We can debate weather cannabis would help you, however in general eating for two is a job and would benefit to be remembered it's not just your needs anymore.
Cannabis and it's hunger effects are not the most dependable thing. Id say give it a shot but to use it when you start to feel nauseated isn't necessarily gonna help- esp if your not an experienced user. I could imagine it possibly making it worse if your not used to it- but again, that is only using it as a reactionary medication. If you used it as a routine, take a few puffs (maybe a vape pen?)in the morning and maybe eat something acidic like a lemon drop or make a lemon tincture, to trigger your digestive system, then you may get stronger effects cause you have it as a routine, pavlov effect, placebo, probably a myriad of things working for you at that point.
I'd try making a tincture first, get in routine of eating it in the morning to stimulate good appetite to start packing on some weight. After all you want a healthy child and a healthy you right?
Anyways just this idiots opinion.
Best of luck with your gestation.

 

Yah, definitely aiming at making a good eating pattern in general was huge for my wife and I to establish. That way the times when she couldn't eat didn't take such a toll.
Proactivity, in this case surrounding food. Don't deny yourself, ever. I think in today's day where women and men are expected to be more thin and less fat have attributed towards issues during pregnancy and in general. But specifically when it comes to your body having enough resources to build another life.
Really focus on enjoyable foods and eating is your job, you can do it. There's loads of really great foods in the world. Eggs and oats, every morning would be my suggestion. Yogurt, String cheese, easy snacks for some protein and fats. Nuts, keep nuts around,(as long as your not allergic)- like chocolate? Find some good heavy in calorie foods to keep around, you got a long ways to go and need that weight. My wife and I thankfully avoided hospitals completely shy of one ultrasound, cause our first was taking her sweet time.

 

After a Google most sites are against cannabis while pg. But here's an article that reviews studies and found no harm.

Whatever you do, stay safe and best of luck. And like mentioned go very slow with an appropriate type. As in no anxiety.


Using Cannabis While Pregnant Does Not Impair Children’s Cognition, Decades Of Studies Suggest

 

I would dare say that 4mg of all natural THC is safer than 4mg of lab made Zofran. BUT is a 4mg dose of THC plus a healthy appetite SAFER than no THC and no appetite, I do not know.

Have you looked into/tried CBD? I would start there. You can buy it at pretty much any gas station but if you want decent prices, look around online.

 

Hi hon, I'm Granny, a cannabis activist and science nerd.

I used cannabis during my 2 pregnancies with no bad results. Like you, I had nasty nausea and a puff or two really helped. Both of my sons are quite intelligent and have the right number of fingers and toes. (And about the claims of low birth weight babies from cannabis use, my oldest boy was 8 1/2 pounds, while my younger son was just under 9 1/2 pounds. Not tiny at all!)

Now here's the problem with smoking your cannabis- CO2 and carbon monoxide get into your blood, cutting down on the amount of oxygen that you and your baby get! I would suggest trying a tincture - you hold them under your tongue for a minute, then swallow. The ones made with MTC oil or glycerine don't sting your mouth like alcohol based tinctures (and you want to avoid alcohol anyway).

Here's a few studies that should reassure you-

Marijuana Use and Its Effects in Pregnancy. (abst – 2016) Marijuana use and its effects in pregnancy - PubMed

“In our initial cohort analysis, after controlling for potential confounders, while marijuana exposure alone was not associated with significant perinatal adverse outcomes, co-use with cigarette smoking rendered increased risk over either alone.” (So quit the tobacco if you use it!)


Maternal smoking and cannabis use during pregnancy and infant outcomes.
(UK) (full – 2020) Maternal smoking and cannabis use during pregnancy and infant outcomes

"Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the use of cannabis during pregnancy was not associated with increased risk of perinatal mortality or morbidity in this sample. However, frequent and regular use of cannabis throughout pregnancy may be associated with small but statistically detectable decrements in birthweight."

This next study is from 1997, but it is a real mind-blower!

Mortality Within the First 2 Years in Infants Exposed to Cocaine, Opiate, or Cannabinoid During Gestation
http://pediatrics.aappublications.o...&searchid=1&FIRSTINDEX=640&resourcetype=HWCIT

“Within the first 2 years of life, 44 infants died: 26 were drug negative (15.7 deaths per 1000 live births) and 18 were drug positive (13.7 deaths per 1000 live births). The mortality rate among cocaine, opiate, or cannabinoid positive infants were 17.7, 18.4, and 8.9 per 1000 live births, respectively.”

Allow me make those statistics even clearer, so there is absolutely no confusion-

No drugs at all babies- 15.7 deaths per 1000 live births

Cocaine-exposed babies – 17.7 deaths per 1000 live births

Opiate-exposed babies – 18.4 deaths per 1000 live births

Cannabis-exposed babies- 8.9 deaths per 1000 live births

So the "cannabis exposed" babies had the lowest rate of deaths- even lower than the "no drugs" babies!

And one more "oldie" that is a classic study on the longer-term effects of cannabis during pregnancy on the children.

Five-year follow-up of rural Jamaican children whose mothers used marijuana during pregnancy.
(USA) (full – 1991) Five-year Follow-up of Rural Jamaican Children whose Mothers used Marijuana during Pregnancy

"The results show no significant differences in developmental testing outcomes between children of marijuana-using and non-using mothers except at 30 days of age when the babies of users had more favorable scores on two clusters of the Brazelton Scales: autonomic stability and reflexes."

Also, be sure to check out the reputation of any online CBD source! CBD is largely unregulated and there is a LOT of fraud going on! Some "CBD products" actually contain no CBD at all! Buy from a LEGAL dispensary if at all possible.

Always @Storm Crow to stir up the Cannabis prohibition pot !!!! it needs stirring, is getting stale and stagnated ... Granny to the Rescue !!

 

Marijuana will slow the baby's brain development. I don't think anybody has looked at how zolfran affects brain development - the physical side effects dominate. Best wishes.

 

did you research Dr Melanie Dreher research from the eighties ?

 

I'm no doctor but I have been a cancer patient and got lots of chemo,.,I smoked pot and never got sick.,
I know dozens of people who's mom smoked while pregnant and they are all mostly healthy and happy.,
I bet you'd find if you dug deep enough that 98% of the negative things published about the medical use of cannabis is published by the drug companies.,They know its useful but they cannot control the market on it.,.legal or not because it grows like a weed.,.thus they can't make a profit on it and it's losing them money.,and they would prefer it remain illegal and in the dark.,
Have a few puffs dear.,It will do you and your baby a world of good.,
