Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are in 30 weeks of pregnancy and still 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 advice you to stop it right now and it will take 48-72 hours to get out of your system completely. You have to stop it as t could affect fetus nervous system as well. Child may suffer from short term memory loss and problems of focusing. After baby birth you should stop your self from breast feeding as it can passed to your baby through milk.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
