Suggest treatment to get rid of morning sickness
Patient: i am 9 weeks pregnant and i wanted to know if it would be harmful for me to smoke pot for morning sickness? i have heard this worked for some people but i am afraid to do it because i am high risk and have had cramping and bleeding. they said everything is ok now i just need to rest alot but i just wanted to know if i did smoke when i felt sick if it would have any harmful effects on the baby? Doctor: Hi,   Thanks for your query. I understand your concern.    Yes, smoking marijunia pot in pregnancy has tremendous side effects in fetus & mother both. It may seize morning sickness vomiting, but the side effects it causes are hazardous.( name physical / mental/ intellectual / cognitive side effects in new born.. making it's life miserable.   To control morning sickness you can-   Chew dry snacks slowly before getting out of bed( water or liquids stimulate vomiting., be in bed for half hour & then get up to start your routine.     Never starve. Take small/ multiple servings( 5-6 in a day ) of   nutritious food you relish. Avoid spicy, oily or left over food.Avoid aerated drinks,   _ get prescription from your doctor for preventing morning sickness.( like Doxinate pills 2 at bed time )   - Consult your doctor regularly for pregnancy check up.    - Low blood pressure increases sickness.. Some times IV fluids can control such excessive vomiting.   - Think that it's pregnancy hormones that cause the symptoms.. so your baby is getting good hormones & is growing well. This will stop when your body gets adjusted to the hormones.( usually by 3 months of pregnancy ) It's helpful to be positive.   Thanks.
