How Long Does THC Stay In The Body?

Hello I am 37 weeks pregnant I am scheduled to have a cesarean section October 31st I just quit smoking weed yesterday can that be enough time to clear it out of my system before I have my baby. I only used it because of my pain in my body but I used it throughout the whole pregnancy.

Hi,

Understanding your concern. As per your query, you are 37 weeks pregnant and you taking THC which is something you should be concerned about as taking THC during pregnancy may affect your baby’s growth and the development. It is not at all safe in pregnancy. I would advise you to stop it right now and it will take 48-72 hours to get out of your system completely. You should take a diet rich in multivitamins. You have to stop it as t could affect fetal nervous system as well. The child may suffer from short term memory loss and problems of focusing. After baby birth, you should stop yourself from breastfeeding as it can be passed to your baby through milk.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
