Hi,
I understand your concern.
Weed smoking has effect on development of fetal brain. You can try to nullify the bad effects/ increase healthy growth of your baby.
Your answer lies in your query. You say you dont want any thing bad to happen with your baby! maternal instinct is a great stimulator for doing positive things. So changing mind set up becomes easy.
- Quit smoking weed immediately. Every time you have irresistible urge to smoke, think of your baby-& get indulged in some work of your interest.
- Similarly, learn about nutrition & it's impact on fetal development. This will help you to eat well. Take a dietitian's help to plan your diet & stick to it.
- B complex supplements do help in appetite. Use mouth watering soups before food, Have a well decorated dining table with colorful /appetite stimulating colors/ fragrance.
- Add natural antoxidents to your diet .
- Get your thyroid level tested, take supplement if advised by endocrinologist.
- Be regular in exercising/ sleeping/meditation.
All of these will help baby's mental/physical well being & also remove the bad effects taken place so far.
Thanks
