Does Smoking Marijuana During Pregnancy Slow Down The Cervix Dilation?
I am concerned that smoking marijuana in the last trimester has slowed the dilatation process. The patient has been consuming a moderate amount and has been at 3cm and 70% for 2 weeks, with quite consistant contractions. Also concerning is that they plan to continue smoking with breast feeding
