10 Weeks Pregnant, Habit Of Marijuana Smoking. Will This Harm Baby?

Hi I just found out that I am ten weeks pregnant. I have been smoking marijuana and I am very worried that when I go to get a prenatal check that they will test me and I will be in trouble. I am scared to go in because of this issue. I live in Iowa and I know there laws are very crucial. How long can the thc stay in the babies system?? Thanks
