I smoke pot and I'm pregnant, but I'm too ashamed to tell my Dr., any advice?

Everytime I have an appiontment my mom always comes along, even into examination room. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but it would be a little easier for me to talk to my Dr. about personal things if she were not in the room. Advice please?I smoke pot and I'm pregnant, but I'm too ashamed to tell my Dr., any advice?
You really need to stop... in a lot of places they test the baby after you give birth. If you do tell your doctor, in most states the doctor is not required to keep confidentiality on this subject and is allowed to report you.I smoke pot and I'm pregnant, but I'm too ashamed to tell my Dr., any advice?
stop ! STOP ! you know that will hurt the baby and you. ask your doctor to help you quite smoking ,
Yeah, stop smoking. What do you think your doctor is going to say - that it might be okay for you to keep doing it? You don't need to talk to a doctor to know that you need to stop ASAP. But you should notify your doctor that you have been smoking pot, and you should be able to feel comfortable talking to your doctor about anything without worrying about who is in the room. So, just tell your mom that - ';mom, I don't feel comfortable discussing EVERY LITTLE THING with the doctor while you are there - it's nothing personal.';
You do need to quit smoking pot, it isn't good for the baby at all. Just tell your mom you love her but you need to talk to the doctor alone. You're going to be a mother, just do the adult thing and speak up.
i'm not here to judge you but there is a reason why you are feeling so ashamed..its because you know it is wrong for the life inside of you.
First, you need to smoke pot. It can hurt the baby since it is denying the baby oxygen whenever you inhale something other than oxygen. Second, you can ask your mom to leave the room. She does not need to be there every time. If her feelings get hurt, she'll get over it, but you have the right to some privacy. So simply ask her not to come in with you. If you don't, you'll just hav to deal with her being there.
Stop smoking pot for one. You need to talk to your doctor. Ask him/her about the effects it would have on the baby. You don't have to have your mom with you every time you go to the doctor. If she does, ask her to step out of the room so that you can talk to your doctor alone. She may not like it but that's tough. She'll get over it. I really hope that you can find a way to quit smoking all together. I hope that despite your smoking, you have a healthy baby. Good luck.
I don't know if its true, but I have heard that when you give birth, they drug test both the mother and the baby. Think about it.
I'm guessing that you don't smoke anymore now that you know you are pregnant. Congrats and God Bless!
quit smoking pot
Just tell him over the phone and ask for tips on quitting.
You need to stop immediately. It's not good for your unborn child! I was smoking pot before I found out I was pregnant but then stopped as soon as I found out.
You can call your doctor and let his/her nurse know to discreetly put it on your chart. But I am really sad to hear that you're doing that. Every mother wants to give her baby the best start in life possible, so why would you want to smoke pot at such a crucial time in your baby's development? Yeah, you enjoy it, but by becoming a mom, you need to think of more than just yourself.
I hope you're just joking, but if you're not, you need to stop. You're harming yourself and your child. You need to put your child's health first. People like you do not need children.
Well, the only thing you can do is just get over it and ask your mom to wait outside.





Second, you MUST stop smoking immediately. You are seriously putting your baby at risk and your doctor needs to know it so he/she can be prepared to deal with some of the issues your baby will likely face.





You need to be thinking of your baby now.
the only advice that you need is to stop smoking pot! you really need to think about the fact that your not just hurting yourself, but an inocent baby as well. you do know that pot kills brain cells, right? Well your babies brain is developing while your pregnant, so you are hurting it even before it has a change to fully function. I think that you need to think more about hurting your baby than your mothers feelings. How do you think she will feel after you give birth (I hope to god that it doesn't happen) to a handicaped child and finds out that it is because of something that you did, by choice?!?! I think that might hurt her more!
shame on you for smoking pot while your pregnant.You need to tell your doctor there going to find out any waus if not now when the babies born they'll know
It is your body and baby, why does mom have to come with you...Politley ask her to wait in the waiting room bacause you have personall things to discuss with your dr.





You really need to stop smoking pot, it IS worse than tobacco, not that I am advocating that either...But you could be doing serious long term damage to your child...You wouldn't give them pot after they are born why do it before!





You need to be concerned about yourself and the baby, not your mom...If she gets offended, oh well, at least you told her nicely. That is part of being a mother and a parent and a n adult.
im sure the doctor already knows. you need to just quit smoking that way you wont have to tell your doctor anything. i had a cousin who was pregnant and her doctor told her to quit smoking pot all the time and she never listened, she smoked up until the baby was born... it caused no harm to the baby, well not that i know of.. The baby was 8lbs big baby.. she is now 5 and still very healthy.. So i dont know.. but do as you will, but it is healther for you and the baby to not be smoking at all.
first of all please know that im not trying to be mean. i dont understand why you're worried about even asking him about you smoking pot. you have to know it cant be good at all for the baby, so stop. that easy. also, thank your mom for her support but tell her there are a few personal things you want to ask the dr and you want to go by yourself once or twice. good luck
';mom can you step outside there are some personal things I need to talk to the doctor about';...





oh and stop smoking pot!!
Your mother does not have to go with you to see your doctor, you should definately tell him about it so he can give you some advice and help.
I would stop smoking pot...or you will hurt your mom's feelings if the baby comes out w/something wrong and you have to explain that you were on drugs while the baby was TRYING to grow healthy and be strong but was unable to b/c you thought that pot was sooo much more important than the health of your child.





For not wanting your mom in the room then tell the doc that you have things you would like to talk to him about and would like privacy and not have your mom in there and then he can say that he wants only you to come in or tell your mom that doc only wants you in there.
Honestly... I dont think pot or tobacco is a problem but you should just try to be ';pure'; in the sense that maybe your child might have some disposition to a chemical that might make it ill. Some people some as a kid and die at 90 and some smoke and get concer at 20, I don't think (other than legally it's wrong) but for 9 months stop just for the heck of it, been there and done that )12 yrs agos. ;-)
