Hi Posted: 12-19-05 16:39pm
Yes, it sure can have a big affect on your
baby, exspecially birth defects, sorry to
give you the bad news, if you want to have
a healthy baby get rid of the mary, and
start making some changes with your life,
and for the babys sake, and yes it can
stun you from getting your wife pregnant,
and it can also make her not concieve a
child, makes things alot harder, that is
if you really want to have a child, you
might consider talking with your wife
about those lifestyle changes. Its a
sacrifice, buts it worth every bit. And
another thing, if she happens to be
pregnant and not know it, it can make her
misscarrage. Hope ive helped you, merry
christmas, and good luck ot you.

While smoking pot can reduce the sperm
count, it can't cause birth defects
(that's the one of the stupidist things
i've ever heard). I know many couples who
got pregnant right away in a relationship
where both partners smoked m.J. Multiple
times a week. Personally, I got pregnant
2 weeks off the pill without even trying
and my husband is a frequent m.J. Smoker
(i had even joked that he may want to cut
it off if we ever wanted to conceive). I
have chosen not smoke m.J. While
pregnant, but I know a number of women who
have continued to smoke m.J. And their
kids are just fine (in fact they're
brilliant). That said, i'm in no way
condoning smoking m.J. While pregnant -
the potential danger to the baby is
irresponsible - but a male's sperm is not
going to cause a birth defect if he smokes
before, during and after a woman is
pregnant.

Hello Posted: 01-15-06 14:49pm
Thats what ive heard from a doctor so, why
are you asking then if you wanted to
know, in my opinion I sure would not want
to have a baby and smoking pot, thats just
so iresposible and only hurting your baby,
you might as well drink alcohol as well,
and pot frys your brain cells too, and
when you do that your hurting your babys
growing brain too as well, if their is
other womans babies that turned out fine,
well thats great , but does not mean that
your will, think about it, it sounds like
to me your selfish, and you want to have
your cake and it eat it too. Be a
responsible parent and do the right thing.

As a matter of fact, i'm not the original
author - the original author is a male who
was asking about his pot smoking and how
it may effect his wife getting pregnant.
My comments were directed at the fact that
the act of a male smoking pot will not
cause deformed sperm cells. If the man's
wife decided to smoke pot while pregnant
on the other hand, she would obviously be
taking a risk to harm the baby. I find it
interesting that you call me irresponsible
when I have taken every means possible to
live a healthy lifestyle without pot or
alcohol since I found out I was pregnant.
I guess my baby may be deformed because my
husband continues to smoke pot outside?
If that's the case then there must be a
whole lot of deformed babies in this
world.
No matter. Everyone is entitled to their
own opinion. I hope everyone gets
pregnant, if desired, and has wonderfully
happy, healthy babies (without deformed
sperm).

I have to agree with "guest" my sister's
husband smokes pot ( not around the kids
or in the house), and they have two
healthy children. I can however see the
mom smoking pot causing alot of problems
for the baby, but thats not the topic on
hand.

Tobacco contains ingredients that are much
more harmful than anything in cannabis.

that is so not true. Where are you
getting your facts from? Smoking weed
while pregnant has no proven effect on the
baby. I wouldn't do it though, just like
I wouldn't drink or smoke cigarettes.
