  • Hi mamas,

    I’m looking for experiences from those of you who have older children now. During my pregnancy I used marijuana occasionally (mostly for nausea/anxiety), and at the time my doctor didn’t seem overly concerned.

    My child is now school-aged and recently started showing signs of attention issues, and ADHD has been mentioned. Autism has also crossed my mind after reading more online, and now I’m spiraling a bit.

    I know there are a lot of mixed opinions and studies, but I’m not looking for judgment — just real-life experiences.

    For those of you who used marijuana during pregnancy:
    – How old are your kids now?
    – Any diagnoses like ADHD or autism?
    – Or are they developing typically?

    Please be kind. I’m just trying to understand if there could be any connection or if I’m worrying for nothing.

  • Found this while browsing and wanted to add that quitting or cutting back is something a lot of people struggle with, and it’s great you’re already reducing. For anyone still following this, have your kids’ teachers or doctors mentioned any concerns as they’ve gotten older? Sometimes outside feedback helps calm the mind or shows what to keep an eye on. Curious how things turned out for others too.

  • I’ve stressed over the same stuff, and my kid’s pediatrician kept reminding me that lots of factors shape ADHD or autism, not just one thing. Cutting back was way harder until I found healthier stress outlets, plus reading about safer hemp products like buy bulk cbn distillate https://bulkcbddistributors.com/product-category/cbn/cbn-distillate/ weirdly helped me shift my mindset. Taking small steps made the whole quitting thing feel less like a mountain and more like a hill.
