islandally asked:
I am 21 weeks pregnant and attended an outdoor rock concert yesterday. You could occasionally smell marijuana among the crowd. I am very worried about this. Should I be concerned? I have had no other exposure to drugs during the pregnancy.

as long as your not around it on the regular…your fine.
Try and stay away from smokers if possible.
i think its fine as long as you are not the one doing it or around it 24/7
i don’t think that is enough to cause any harm, but do try to avoid being around any kind of smoke for too long, none can be good for the baby
I wouldn’t be too worried if it was only the occasional smell of it. I know a girl who used to smoke it during pregnancy and her baby came out premature, and that was it (doesn’t make her any less of an idiot for taking that chance). My point is that simply smelling it should not affect the baby, same with regular cigarretes if it’s not constantly. Try to stay away from that stuff when possible. Good luck!
Even if you did smoke it yourself it wouldn’t cause a lot of harm. My son was not a premie, in fact he was a lil late. 8 lbs 5 oz totally healthy. He just scored 99th national percentile on the Iowa testing. I’m so framing that.
you’re fine, stay away from 2nd hand smoke of any kind though. i know a few women who were heavy pot smokers and didn’t stop while preggers, thankfully their babies were fine. i’m sure that a little minimal exposure wouldn’t hurt you or the baby! good luck!
I know several people who smoked marijuana during their pregnancies with their babies being completely fine.
People automatically think drug, worse than cigarettes but I believe opposite. Im not saying you should smoke marijuana but its from the earth. Cigarettes are full of all kinds of chemicals and additives.
Well, I wouldn’t be too concerned. Honestly, the amount of smoke or even the intoxicant in the smoke should be such a small amount it should have no affect on you or your baby. However, I would recommend that you are very careful about your free time. Simply, because if you go to a more wild rock concert or any kind of “wild” event, you never know what could happen and you don’t want anything to cause you any sort of harm. Please don’t mistake that for me saying you shouldn’t do anything while you are pregnant…..just use more caution than you normally would if you weren’t pregnant. Congrats!!
You should be fine…I did the same thing and was freaking out cause I am such a freak about doing everything correctly while I was pregnant….but the baby is fine =) so I would say as long as we dont go to rock concerts everyday we are both gonna be just fine =) dont worry!
