How Can THC Levels During A Pregnancy Be Lowered?

I am 34 weeks pregnant and I had been ingesting (cooking with) marijuana to help my appetite... my doctor says I may be delivering in the next two weeks and I am freaking out. I do not want anything to happen to my child. What is a safe way to, at the very least seriously lower my THC levels, if not rid myself of them completely?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
I will suggest to stop consumption of Marijuana at once.
It may give you some pleasure but it definitely affects baby inside.
THC is the chemical that gives you effects of marijuana, and it can pass to baby and affect learning abilities of the child.
So as a sensible parent, quit it at once and do not consume it even during breastfeeding the baby.
Please consume plenty of water to get it out of your body through urine.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
