Suggest Remedy For Stress And Low Appetite During Pregnancy

Hi, I am 36 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I have been smoking pot on a pretty regular basis throughout my whole pregnancy. My partner and I discussed that it may be ideal to stop now that I am quickly approaching delivery but I am having a hard time I am very edgy and a very stressed out I have already noticed a decrease in my appetite. I am just afraid to stress the baby out but I also don t want to risk her being taken from me when she arrives. What should I do?

Hi.

First of all, it was extremely irresponsible and sorry to say also selfish for you to smoke pot your entire pregnancy for your own satisfaction instead of worrying about your babys safety and development.

Stopping now is again only so you can prevent getting caught by the authorities, when/if the damage to your child is already done.

Dealing with the anxiety which is commoj during pregnancy is something your doctor could have helped you with. Appetite stimulants can also help, along with a hormonal pill which could have helped with your anxiety as well and possibly even change your appetite. Speak to a gunecologist for the same.

Best wishes.
