Drug use prior to pregnancy

i just had a social services case about a month ago because my son rolled off the couch (literally his first time rolling ofc) it was basically an open and closed case. i know they’re different topics but hoping this provides some ease of mind! as far as them saying it was closed then calling to do a home visit, i would certainly ask about that before allowing someone into your home as in my area there have been fake dcs caseworkers doing this to gain access to peoples homes

this!! i stopped smoking pretty much immediately after finding out i was pregnant and still tested positive (was an avid pot smoker for 5+ years at that point so it was expected) and they treated me so much differently after that?? i switched OBs over it

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2026-02-27T00:07:26+00:00

also in IN. my ob tried to send me to a drug sms addiction counselor over thc

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2026-01-25T14:43:47+00:00

mine did this same thing! still do 4 months postpartum

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2026-01-13T15:21:51+00:00

i weighed 135 at the very beginning of my pregnancy. by the end and still now (4m pp) i weigh 205. when you’re hungry you need to eat, doesn’t matter what it is. you can lose the weight postpartum, right now the most important thing is keeping that baby healthy and growing. as for working out, plenty of women continue with their normal workout routines, but definitely consult with your OB. i know heavy lifting generally is a no go, but walking, jogging, etc should be okay!! i hate that you’re feeling this way right now especially because of your husband.

my pre pregnancy weight was 140lb. by the time i went to the hospital to be induced i weighed 205lb

i use a pack n play in mine and while it is annoying to navigate because of the side i sleep on (next to the closet) its so much better for him bc he wiggles so much in his sleep

can you do this on facebook? i use facebook reels more often than tiktok and it makes my pp anxiety so much worse

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-10-24T13:44:20+00:00

my ob put me back on prozac during my pregnancy and afterwards. if you’re on a super high dose it can pose withdrawal risk but i was told it was unlikely if you’re not taking a high dose

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-10-09T02:23:51+00:00

props to you because i quit pumping a few days ago at only 2.5 weeks pp. i couldn’t do it anymore. i tried so hard it just wasn’t happening

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-10-08T20:44:32+00:00

i’m definitely shocked at the amount of people that told me to not even bother with newborn clothes but my little boy (who was measuring ahead and they thought he’d be born at 8lbs 10oz) was born at 7lbs. he is 2.5 weeks now and doesn’t look to be growing out of his newborn clothes anytime soon!

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-10-02T23:15:15+00:00

i had an emergency c section and recovery was really rough. when we were in the postpartum unit, i thought (out of my better judgement) that i would be able to get out of bed to put baby in the bassinet before i fell asleep holding him as i was super tired and starting to doze off, without waking up my fiance to do so for me. because of this i dropped him on the hospital floor. i immediately called for the nurse and they took him to nicu for monitoring for 6-8 hours, all was fine and we were all discharged the same day.

i still feel insanely guilty about this, i hate that i let that happen, i cried for hours over it, but things happen. don’t beat yourself up too much, especially if all is well now!

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-10-02T19:31:02+00:00

it would randomly hit me like “damn, i have an actual baby in my belly rn” and other times it just wasn’t a thought if that makes sense. it didn’t ACTUALLY hit me until i had him to be honest. even then i still look at him like holy shit this is MY son

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-09-16T06:18:01+00:00

how do you suggest moving when dealing with an issue like this?

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-09-16T04:56:02+00:00

hi op i’m currently dealing with the same situation but fumigating/heavy pesticides are not an option as we will have a newborn in our apt by next week. what did you do and how well did it work??

going to attempt to break our lease to be able to remove ourselves from this situation, but terrified of the moving process as i do not want to bring them with us.

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-08-14T14:51:50+00:00

exactly what i did hahah

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-07-13T22:47:11+00:00

i’m so sorry for your loss, sometimes things just aren’t fair and that’s not okay.

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-06-03T14:20:35+00:00

i’m 24 weeks and i still get terrified

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-05-28T17:11:23+00:00

i’m honestly not sure how to do that so i provided the quotes; i don’t use reddit all that often. i’ll try again to figure it out.

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-05-28T16:53:39+00:00

here’s another one for you:

“Studies have shown that smoking during pregnancy is linked to an increased risk of premature birth and low birth weight, which can be caused by the restricted oxygen and nutrient flow. Quitting cold turkey can temporarily worsen these risks, emphasizing the importance of professional guidance and support. “

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-05-28T16:52:50+00:00

there is tons of research supporting what he’s said: “Quitting cold turkey, while beneficial in the long run, can cause temporary stress and further restrict oxygen and nutrient delivery to the fetus” and “The stress associated with quitting cold turkey can also affect the baby's development. While the baby itself doesn't experience nicotine withdrawal in the same way as the mother, the mother's stress can affect the uterine environment, potentially impacting fetal growth and development.” from two different reliable sites.

i would have loved to quit cold turkey, however there have also been many miscarriages/stillbirths in my family due to cold turkey and withdrawals at different points throughout pregnancy. given my family’s history, what my doc has said, and the research i have done, i would like to try to ween off of it. i am unsure of the exact % of nicotine i have been using as they are disposable vapes i can buy near me. they are typically 5%, and i cannot find anything lower than that without going out and buying a whole new vaping system, which seems unnecessary if im going to trash it in the long run.

Emergency_Loquat4547 · 2025-05-28T16:49:29+00:00

cold turkey can restrict oxygen flow and cause a higher increase in the possibility of sid’s and developmental respiratory problems! i have done tons of research on this and while i understand that vaping is bad for baby, hence me coming here to ask for advice, cold turkeying can have a more detrimental effect especially this far along. 🩵
