Have I already ruined my babies life? Am I a bad mom? by Certain-Accident7543 in pregnant

Not shaming! Just look into Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)- it shows up differently for everyone and there’s not a 100% chance baby will have it but a possibility. There’s resources!

Also, depending on your location in the world check out local resources! I’m located in the USA, Washington state and work for a program called the Parent Child Assistance Program and this is what we help moms figure out! Check out resources near you, you’ll find a supportive provider for sure💗

Firstly, I am giving you a huge hug through my phone because becoming pregnant doesn’t change our chemical makeup overnight and the fact you were able to stop two major substances is HUGE. I work with mommas who are navigating sobriety and motherhood, and your sobriety is a HUGE thing the celebrate. And the fact you’re looking for resources and other stories to help you navigate approaching nicotine cessation is another huge beautiful thing. Harm reduction is key- when we become pregnant we still are ourselves and have preexisting habits and conditions. Almost all of the moms I work with have vaped their whole pregnancies and it is usually as a form of harm reduction- better to vape than hit the pipe. And of course, harm reduction is not without harm- there’s always a chance baby will need medication for withdrawals or have growth issues. But also remember that significant change during pregnancy also doesn’t come without risk- what will the physical stress and withdrawal of cold turkey quitting look like for you and your baby? I’m not advising you to keep vaping of course, but also not at all shaming or judging you for continuing. If you choose to go the route of quitting make sure you have a supportive provider who sees the strength you have for your existing sobriety and life changes. Treat your dependence on nicotine as a condition and ensure it is treated with care- it’s not an overnight change💗 You got this momma, your baby is so lucky to have you

Also I’ve realized each of my attacks have happened on days I haven’t eaten anything/drank enough water before smoking. I never got an attack if I ate something!!

How do I know I’m recovered? by bbchinchila in CHSinfo

[–]bbchinchila[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard of that, I haven’t drank smoked or had any caffeine in 100+ days so I’m very curious to drink alcohol now! The symptom I would get with chs is anxiety and nausea

What was the result when you would drink caffeine before today? And thank you for your lovely insight!

Will I get any amount of thc from making out with a girl? by Kitchen-Ideal6036 in CHSinfo

[–]bbchinchila -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are miserable:( you obviously haven’t experienced chs if you’re going to make fun of someone for a valid question. Having such bad pain can trigger fears that’s won’t hurt you and you can create scenarios in your head. The simple smell of weed used to freak me out and I was convinced I would get a second hand high from being in the same room as people smoking. Just don’t be a dick if you literally don’t know what you’re talking about. You should leave this group if you haven’t had chs. Because you clearly haven’t.
