Will Taking Marijuana, Mushroom By A Pregnant Lady Cause Any Problem To Baby's Growth?
I just found out I am pregnant. I am 9 weeks along. I have cut off any medications and am eating healthy. I tried mushrooms for the first time about 9-10 weeks ago. Either it was the week b4 I was pregnant, or a couple of days after. I am sick to my stomach thinking about this? I know the first 1-4 weeks are crucial to your baby's growth. Could I have really hurt my child? The only other drug I took was marijuana. I have stopped everything.
Hi, Thanks for the query. Usually eating normal mushrooms may not have major effect on pregnancy. But toxic mushrooms and magic mushrooms containing psilocybin or psilocin have to be avoided during pregnancy. Because according to some studies these magic mushrooms can induce premature uterine contractions. Marijuna can lead to low birth weight of the babies, lower IQ, behavioral problems etc. So better to avoid during pregnancy. Intake of single dose may not lead to much problems. But better to follow with regular antenatal checkups and ultrasound examinations. Take care.
