Will Smoking Weed While Pregnancy Affect Baby?
Question: Can smoking weed a few times kill or harm my unborn baby?
Brief Answer:
Yes,smoking weeds can affect your baby
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Smoking can cause poor blood supply to the baby and thus make the baby deficient of oxygen and the nutrients. The result can be premature birth, low birth weight baby and even abortion.
The chemical passes through the placenta from mother to the baby. This can cause various defects in brain or other major organ (like cardiac).
Babies can have delayed development, behavioral problem, poor attention etc.
Apart from this there is increased chances of respiratory diseases and even baby can develop malignancy.
So any form of smoking is not considered safe in pregnancy.
I hope this answers your query
