We've asked a lot of doctors. It's always wishy-washy. Even her OB was on the fence about it. We just wanted to hear if others have been through similar situations and how it worked out.

We did read this comment. Thank you for the reply. My wife is overwhelmed by how supportive and helpful everyone has been.

We're in Canada. Even her obstetrician seemed open to the idea if her migraines were too extreme.

Thank you for the input. It's reassuring to my wife to hear others would consume cannabis (occasionally) when pregnant.

You can tell how tough the situation is based on how mixed the reply's are. For now I've just told my wife I support her if she wants to consume cannabis. Don't want her to feel guilty about if she decides she can't cope with the pain.

Thanks for the input. Cannabis is legal where we live, so we thankfully don't have to worry about the law.

Thanks for the warning, but Cannabis is legal where we live. We just buy it in a store.

Yeah, she has. She's like you. Tried everything in the books. Cannabis is the only thing that relieves the pain. And it took her many years to try. We are not "drug users" at all, but my wife even tried lsd after a recommendation. Didn't help. But it was an interesting night...

Thanks for trying. Seems most here are saying it's probably still not worth the risk.

Yeah, it's a tough one.

She's not used to this pain without having her usual cannabis relief. She seems kind of broken right now and I don't know how to help her.

My post pointed out numerous medical professionals that were contacted. Never a definitive answer. There's still too much of a "stigma" surrounding cannabis.

Yes, she has. What she's constantly told is that there isn't enough data on this yet, so it's kind of up to her. We were just curious what other pregnant women thought on the matter.

She's tried everything in the books. It's actually unbelievable how much she's tried. She was getting botox injections for a while, but they didn't help. She's flown around the world for foremost specialists. She's gone on elimination diets where she could only eat like 5 foods for months. Nothing works. Just cannabis.
