Is My Baby Going To Test Positive For Marijuana?

I am 35 weeks pregnant. Before finding out I was pregnant I was a chronic user of marijuana. I found out I was pregnant very late at 21 weeks. I stopped using marijuana. The last 2 weeks I smoked on occasion when I was having trouble eating and keeping food down. Is my baby going to test positive for marijuana?

marijuana has adverse effect on baby especially if taken during 1st 12 weeks...
as u came to know about your pregnancy very late, it is necessary to rule out any congenital malforation in baby due to marijuana use.so 1st do anomaly scan to rule out anomaly in baby.
marijuana affects growth of baby and at this time colour doppler will helf to identify whether baby is growing well or not.
so do sonography for fetal well being...
