smoking heroin whilst pregnant?

Before you or the pregnant person in question takes any type of questionable substance into their body, ask "would i give this directly to an infant/child?"\n\nI don't know that too many people would agree that giving an infant herion, crack, alcohol, cigarettes, pain killers... etc. would be a good idea.

If you are feeling sick after having smack(heroin) i'd hazard a good guess that you haven't been doing it for very long (smoking on foil by any chance?).  If i am right my advice is STOP now!  I am nearly 25 and began smoking herion (and crack) when i'd just turned 19. The sickness will subside after your body is used to it more; but this is certainly bot a benefit!  In place of the sickness you will have withdrawls- and believe me when that happens there is NO choosing to stop-you'll have a long and bloody fight on your hands; getting off it, getting back on it, getting back off it- i have gone on and on like this for years!  I have done so many community detoxes i have lost count, private detox hospitals, rehabilitation centers.  I had been clean now for a couple of months-gone out for a spliff yesterday and nearly (should have to be honest) ended up in Accident & Emergency! What began with a smoke led to much, much more.  This is only a TINY little snippet of some of my history with drugs-i'm telling you hoping it may put u off a litte while you still may have the choice, a choice between a normal(ish) life and total, utter shame, misery & hopelessness! Get a grip while u still can mate x

Depends on several things: \n1) how pregnant: if you are 8 1/2 months pregnant then going to a crowded, loud, smoky club could put a lot of stress on your body and thus your baby\n2) what kind of club: are there people smoking there, could it get really roudy \n3) what are you planning to do there: I hope that smoking and drinking are out at least\n\nI'd say if you aren't too far along and it isn't a crazy or smoky club that could stress your body then go for it, dancing is good exercise.

You guys need to think before just responding.\n\nShe's asking if there is a crack equivalent of a heroin user getting a "hot-shot."\n\nNow I don't know very much about hard drugs, but from what I understand, crack is made by cooking up cocaine and baking soda. If baking soda is the only other ingredient, it shouldn't be anymore dangerous than just smoking cocaine (which doesn't sound like a very good idea at all.)\n\nHowever, the likelyhood that other additives have been put in the cocaine prior to cooking it is almost 100%. This is done to make more product. These additives could be *anything*! It could be vitamin C, but just as easily rat poison or something equally toxic.\n\nSo yes, I believe that it is indeed possible that your friend got a bad dose of crack.\n\nHopefully he learned his lesson. Nothing good can come out of smoking crack. I can't believe that I even have to type that.\n\nGood luck.

only if you're pregnant.

consult a behavioral psychologist who also has experience with pediatrics.  drug use manifests itself differently in each child.  \n\nas for the yahoo! who suggests that using pot is safe while the fetus is in utero - wake up...  how many drug addicted children have you adopted?  i have a feeling i'm one up on you.\n\n<sheesh>

First of all nothing is wrong with you, that only happens when u get addicted and ur not right now. Your smelt it because u were curious and thats all. DO NOT LISTEN TO THE IDIOTS WHO ARE SAYING HOW TO GET IT AND THATS ITS OK TO BE HIGH! STOP! While you still can, kick the habit, check into rehab, do anything to stay away from that stuff. I'm telling you from experience, that stuff can kill you. Believe me I would no.

god made pot..... man made cigs and alcohol.... make your decision...\n\n\nwhat the other person said is true.. brain cells are reduced.. you wont be able to pass a drug test and get a decent job, and if you keep on.. your chance at ever having kids will be very slim.\nhowver on the other side of that.. it is a natural herb, doctors perscribe it to cancer patients for the pain... and if a dr perscribes it.. it cant be all bad.. right?

Buddy!!! 'Drugs' and 'getting your girlfriend pregnant' have been two big mistakes you've made in life. (My apologies if you were not the one to get her pregnant). \n\nMistakes need correction. You're doing good with staying away from drugs.\n\nNow, Whether or not you were the one to get your girlfriend pregnant, you need to be with and around her. If you call her a friend, remember - A friend in need is a friend indeed. She probably needs your support, while you're trying to get her off your mind. I hope you're going to do the right thing here too.\n\nI wish well for the both of you.

I battled drug and alcohol addiction.  Not heroin, but addictions nonetheless.  I knew that the only way I was going to get off the merry-go-round was to remove myself from everything and everyone I knew.  I chose to go commercial fishing in Alaska.  I was at sea for 6-8 weeks at a time and the only time we docked, it was to offload and use the phone at the end of the dock.  That's all the further away I got from the boat.  Airfare, room, board, all company-paid.  I stayed up for 8 mos, amassing a nice, big bank account.  When I got home, I couldn't easily adapt to being back on land so left again 5 weeks later.  A new addiction, fishing.  And I never picked up the old ones again.  How this can help your daughter is:  she gains new perspective, opens her life to alternate ways of living, she'll work herself to exhaustion, she'll earn a great deal of money and she will be on a "dry boat".  No booze, no drugs, period.\n\nIt really, really worked for me.  I made different friends and met the man I would marry (these 15 years later, we are still).  \n\nOnce she understands that her destiny can be shifted by different decisions she makes, perhaps she'll be willing to harness her own power to move into her own future.  Her methadone is as much a crutch as her heroin was, though, admittedly, a better crutch.  At the end of the day though, a crutch is still the thing we lean on when we either cannot or will not walk on our own two feet.  \n\nAs a mother, I ache for you.  And I wish you all the peace and luck with your daughter.

hmm... well how about mothers smoking or drinking or taking  drugs when they're pregnant?  there was a pregnant woman in the bar the other night, and i don't think they should legally be allowed to serve or sell to her... and i think it should be illegal for someone who is unfit for parenting or already has too many kids and can't support them to have ANY MORE CHILDREN!!! it's ridiculous... and I think abusing the system (welfare) by not marrying or having more kids or not working should be illegal. they should def. investigate those things more!!

Yup, ask her to do it outside and when you are not home. Thats what my husband does (I dont like him to smoke around me either).

As soon as you find out you are pregnant  you should quit smoking.  You can't do anything about the cigarettes you smoked before you realized you were pregnant-so try not to worry.

I agree with you.  My parents smoked in front of me and my 2 sisters all our lives.  I have lung problems and my sisters have allergies because of it.  I would never do that to a child.  My Mom even smoked while pregnant.  How could that be called love?

You sound pregnant to me. Go get a home pregnancy test ASAP and then quit smoking as soon as you can (not only is it good for the baby, but it will probably make you feel better). Cut back on caffeine and spicy foods and keep tums handy if you are already getting hearburn. Weight gain so soon is not good though, you don't really want to gain weight for the first few months.
