Staying Away From Marijuana During Pregnancy
Stay away from pot while you are pregnant. Some women smoke marijuana during pregnancy to help with nausea and other discomforts. There are safe alternatives that a health care provider can offer you.
If you have a problem stopping, get help. Stop for yourself and for your unborn child.
Make it easier to give up pot.
Stay away from second-hand smoke of others using pot if you might be pregnant. It's safest to say no to parties and situations where people are likely to be using.
Just like with alcohol, ask your partner, family and friends to support your decision to quit. If you have a problem stopping, get help.
If you smoke pot, don't have unprotected sex.
Be aware that women are more likely to have unprotected sex while they are under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, including marijuana.
Plan ahead and use birth control. Emergency contraception gives women a second chance to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
