What Are The Side Effects Of Smoking Marijuana During Pregnancy?
Hi im 11 weeks pregnant and have been having a puff every now and then. I did it to make my depression stop and to help me eat. Im planning on stopping right now after researching on how bad it is for you but have been confused because i have heard good things about weed aswell. I dnt do anything else like drink, take other drugs or smoke cigarettes. I only have had a few puffs of weed so my question is if i stop will my baby be fine and will it be out of my system soon? Sorry im gonna have cancle this msg i don't have money right now my partner is the only one with money and i don't wont him to find out what i have been doing i already am disappointed in myself sorry for wasting your time.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering about side effects of smoking Marijuana during pregnancy . It could result in low birth weight babies, miscarriage, abortion. It can cause growth problem in foetus as well.
It will lower down immunity of your body as well as that of incoming foetus and susceptibility to certain infection diseases like asthma increases. I would suggest you to immediately stop smoking marijuana . It can also reach the baby by milk and will stay in baby system and will start giving adverse effects.
It can also have very bad effects on your health as well .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
