Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
YOu should not be taking marijuana at all during pregnancy.
IT is not safe for you.
It is also not safe at all for your fetus.
Please stop at the earliest.
Drink lots of fluids , atleast 4 - 5 litres per day .
Consult your obstetrician and reveal all the facts, including the amount you have consumed so far.
Use mild and safe diuretics to flush out the drug from your system.
Avoid plain smoking, drinking and any type of drug consumption for now.
Also, eat natural, and stick to plain and simple home made fresh foods.
You can go for estimation of blood levels to know if the drug is clean and totally gone from your system.
All the best.
