LOL I'm analyzing too much I know..

But I thought to myself.. if it was a boy she wouldn't have hesitated so much I feel like to find the hand.. cuz it was a profile view.. so the only reason she wouldn't wanna look for the hand clearly reaching for the crotch if it was a girl cuz nothing would be there if the hand moved.. idk I keep dissecting the US [emoji23] I need to stop!

That's so sweet fiveboys that you've brought lots already...makes it all the more exciting! Having said that I haven't bought a single thing...I'm waiting for the 20 week scan just to get confirmation!!! I still can't believe I may have a little lady on board...I don't think it's registered properly yet, and then I do myself no favours as Google will have you believing that a scan at 16 weeks is as good as nothing!

Good morning ladies!

Ough, I'm SO worried

If you've kept up with me, you know that we moved to a temporary flat while our current place is being renovated. There are lots of students in this area as we are close to two uni's.

Anyway, long story short. The tenant downstairs lets his buddies couch surf while he isn't home and they invite friends over and they smoke pot all night, every freaking night. Normally, in a non pregnant state, I really don't care. But I'm afraid for the baby

My house always smells in the morning and specifically my room. We turned off the furnace (this is a triplex as short term leases are rare), I blocked all the vents, we've discussed with the landlord and even had police involved. Court orders take time and the landlord did her best and found us a new place (townhouse yeah!) but it won't be available until June 1st so we have to stay here until then.

They don't make noise anymore,which is great, but the smell is very strong. Can this affect the baby? It isn't actual smoke, but the smell is strong enough to make me wake up and I appear to have pregnancy onset asthma, so it makes it difficult to breathe. I'm very miserable. The smell has gotten better since involving the cops and regular tattling to the landlord, but it isn't gonna stop. I can tell that they sell it due to the traffic that comes by regularly. Maybe I should go to their uni and report them LOL is that even an option? Their behavior is baffling. Cops can't do anything until they see raw marijuana so these kids know howto get away with it.

I REALLY can care less what they do to be honest. People in their youth can be very stupid and inconsiderate. I just don't want my baby harmed. It's still chilly at night here in Canada and sleeping with the windows open and fans on has me congested. I don't know what else to do and again, I'm just worried for the baby. As far as I know, the concern for a baby's development and possible ill effects of marijuana are for those who smoke it directly and regularly correct?

Cosmo,
I certainly feel for you that you're going through all of this! To answer your question, yes, cannabis can pass through the placenta and cause growth restriction in the baby as well as effect the baby's brain development. It's very common unfortunately in pregnant women to have a frequent pot smoking history these days so more is being discovered on the topic.
However, second hand smoking, especially how indirect your exposure is seems very unlikely to cause any harm. Except loads of undue stress to you, and some respiratory irritation. I would still discuss with your provider and continue calling the cops every time you notice this, maybe it will detour them somewhat.

So sorry you are suffering with this added stress. Can't wait till your out of there!

Hang in there Cosmosis! I agree with Wantanother and discuss this again with your doctor/midwife. I'm sure as long as you are not inhaling any second hand smoke, you should be fine. I'm more worried about it affecting your breathing, because if it is constricting your airways that will have an affect in your baby.

I need to vent to you ladies about something.

If I hear another stereotypical comment about boys today, I am seriously going to go ape shit on that person!

So today at the park: 2 women were there. One had a 2 year old son and one had a 4 year old daughter and a 7mo old daughter. My boys both said, "Excuse me", to the little girl so they could get past her. The boy mom said, "Your boys have such great manners!". I of course thanked her. The other woman noticed I had 3 boys and said, " You must have your hands full"! I replied, "I'm very fortunate, my boys are all very easy". They are!! Then of course my 17.5mo old gets hurt and cries. What child doesn't when he/she is hurt?!? The girl mom said, "I'm so glad I don't have to worry about that!" Um, her friend has a boy! I replied, "Oh you must be lucky, you're children don't cry when they are hurt". WTH? How on earth is that situation a boy vs. a girl thing?!?

Then we get home. My youngest son asked me to turn on the bubble maker. Fine. I had to put our stuff inside the front door. Meanwhile, my next door neighbor is out talking with another neighbor. She is an older woman (75-76) and had 2 children- a girl and a boy. Her boy died tragically of suicide when he was in middle school. My boys LOVE her. They say hi to her. She comes over and talks to them. I'm about to pick up my youngest son, when he falls and scrapes his chin on the driveway. She says, "Oh no"! "Boys always seem to hurt themselves". WTF?!? Girls never get hurt? Since when is this a boy thing?!?

Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, but I am naturally protective of my children! What is wrong with people? Do they not know what to say so they say something stupid just to respond? All children get hurt, all children misbehave, all children act crazy at times- hell, even us adults do too! Ugh. I have to go to the store today after nap time. I hope I exude leave me the f$&@k alone vibes, because I WILL not stand for someone making a stupid comment about my boys because they are boys! Don't worry- I'll take a deep breath and behave myself if my children are with me, haha! They don't need to see their mother behaving badly because some jackass says something stupid 🤣!

Rant over! Thanks!

People can be so annoying in their desperate attempt to make themselves feel superior. I often feel so lucky my son is so mild mannered and sweet. His best friend is a girl and she is much more rowdy and accident prone. And is girl cousin drives me up the wall with her 24/7 sobbing fits over nothing.
I smile and say nothing. Because that's what normal people do. Motherhood spares no one and snide comments like these are so unnecessary.
We all are going to deal with the same stresses for the most part with child rearing, and we are all just trying to make it out alive.
People! [emoji849][emoji849]
