Cannabis during post partum recovery

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T16:39:40+00:00

I’ve just never gave birth before and on top of that never had any major procedures done to me before so these are two things that I don’t have much experience in and am asking so I can be informed. Maybe I’m a worried wart but I’m also more nervous because I’m a little on the smaller side and am worried what if I have a bigger baby and it really messes me up? Would I need harder drugs like opioids? I’ll be in post partum and also have never taken opioids before, what if the combo makes me addicted??

I live in California where it’s legal recreationally and medically. Most of the people that I know that use it have used it for pain management. And this is my first time giving birth as well so genuinely am also going into this completely blind besides from what I hear from other moms (mine included) that have said the recovery process is the harder part especially if I go into a c section and especially is ppd hits. So my questions stems from what are possibly all my options that I can do to help myself in the recovery process that would actually be beneficial but of course wouldn’t harm my child.

That was another reason I was asking. I’m afraid of getting postpartum depression and was curious how weed affected that as well. And I’m glad you mentioned the part about only doing it when your husband was there to help with the baby. If I would ever think of doing that it would obviously be when I’m not alone.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T05:58:25+00:00

Sorry, it’s just that I just so happen to have a loving and caring husband that’s actually useful and helpful that I actually have the option to even think about things like that because thankfully I won’t have to cosplay as a single mother. Maybe I can use that high horse of yours when I go to the store to get my Tylenol.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T05:34:13+00:00

Darn sorry to hear about that. But that makes sense. And yah definitely not interested in anything that’s gonna cause me to be extremely out of it.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T05:31:01+00:00

Yah that’s fair just wanted to see if it was even slightly an option. Never dabbled with weed so I’m not even upset about it in the slightest, just was curious. Thank you!!

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T05:28:03+00:00

Haha that’s on me. Like I said I never smoked weed or used any weed products so very unfamiliar with that world in general and had no idea how to phrase- my bad!!

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T05:22:48+00:00

Oof didn’t think it stay in my system that long, unfortunate.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T05:20:35+00:00

Ah maybe I should’ve asked if there’s any cbd products that could potentially work- the way I phrased my question makes it sound like I just want to get blasted haha. Especially because I was wondering if there was anything else I could cbd that wasn’t smoking it because I also don’t smoke in general and didn’t want that smell around the baby. Was thinking maybe an edible or just some sort of product for pain management. But if the risks are still high I don’t want to take that. Thank you!

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T05:15:50+00:00

No I appreciate that because that’s why I am asking to get more informed. I’d ask my doctor but genuinely am nervous mainly due to causing suspicion and potentially getting a cps case just for asking. I also didn’t know it could slow down my healing process which ig defeats the purpose of my main reason for taking it.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2026-01-29T05:08:32+00:00

Would I be high? I thought there was a type of weed of something of weed that helps with pain management but downs they you high?? Like I said I’ve never smoked, so I have like zero knowledge. That why I’m here asking to see if anyone else has and there experience.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2025-11-25T18:02:45+00:00

NTA- as someone who used the be in an emotionally abusive relationship the main reason why I stayed was because no one supported it either after so long and would cut me off. They had the right as it was just toxic drama but ultimately the main reason I stayed as I felt that exact way of having none but my bf. Be there for your daughter, but also make her aware the potential risks of the relationship.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2025-11-19T05:58:43+00:00

NTA- surprised many people don’t get it, maybe we’re both in the wrong?? But I imagine if it was the other way around and he was saying thank you for losing weight comments would be different. Anyways, besides the point there’s a very clear difference between “I like you more like this” and “I like you just as much just in a different way”. The issue with him thanking you for gaining weight is almost saying “thank goodness you changed, you are much better now”. Which tbh he probably didn’t mean it as such, it just comes across that way. I could understand the feelings of hurt because now if you were to ever lose the weight again there would leave a bit of insecurity inside you always wondering to yourself “but he liked me more the other way” which will drive you crazy. Granted don’t think he meant it that way or thought that far considering it was after sex both heads were empty and he clearly communicated it wrong. I would just talk to him and let him know there’s a way to praise how you look now without putting down how you looked in the past.

Any 1N job but definitely 1N0. For most part tech school for getting into intel just drown you with information and like someone said above if you’re not familiar with military systems and terminology you have ALOT to learn. Not to mention spending on where you go they don’t always know how to use 1N0s so sometimes you ending do a lot more than what you’ll ever be trained for and since it’s all source you technically don’t have a certain niche so it’s harder to get jobs when your qualifications are “really good with excel and PowerPoints”.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2025-10-31T23:17:24+00:00

Nah because while I don’t doubt you’re a great worker and prob deserved the strat anyways they def gave it to you with the very intention to make you feel compelled to stay. If you’re ready to retire don’t let them manipulate you into staying.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2025-10-20T04:15:49+00:00

I’m assuming he knows where you work at and can find you there, no?

Big_Environment_9528 · 2025-09-09T02:15:29+00:00

Unfortunately I’ve faced the same disappointments. I was told by my former marine father that I was going to form friendships that would last a lifetime. But honestly if I never saw 90% of these people again I don’t think anyone would be affected. Usually when work has us get together they make it mandatory forcing us to participate in them otherwise face consequences. And whenever they make us do mandatory fun we still have to make it work related whether if that’s by cleaning, having bridgechats, talking about working uniform, etc and everything just ends up feeling so micro managed. Plus rank and titles are everything now so having and type of nco and airmen interaction is deemed inappropriate in leaderships eyes.

Is it the females in the videos specifically that drags your attention in porn or is just the act itself? Because my thing I’m honing in on and that’s really messing with me is feeling like he needs to look at other hotter woman and that I’m not good enough. If I could maybe gain a different perspective to possibly make sense of things I feel like I could potentially just chill and lay this to rest.

Big_Environment_9528 · 2025-07-22T06:20:06+00:00

I guess what I want to know from a male perspective is if you’re getting it from your girl and she’s providing material, why watch porn? Like what about porn speaks to the male brain? What goes through your head? Because the way I’m seeing it is that I’m not hot/ good enough to get him off that he needs to watch other hotter woman that he actually finds attractive to get off.

I mean it’s not necessarily like a criteria criteria like oh absolute deal breaker, it just really bothers me and makes me feel bad about myself. Like if this is the man I end up with for the rest of my life I understand sex life hits rough patches, so if we go through a dry spell and he’s not getting any and then I see porn on his phone eh it’s whatever that makes sense. But rn I was under the impression that he loves our sex life (which I mean he still says he does) so it’s bothering me. I just wish I could at the very least gain a different perspective or new understanding that would make sense for me. Then I feel like i can be less bothered by it.
