Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Smoking weed is not recommended during pregnancy as it can potentially impact a developing baby’s health. These may include: low birth weight, premature birth, small head circumference, small length and stillbirth. After birth, a child whose mother used weed during pregnancy may have trouble with memory, attention, controlling impulses and school performance. Hence, it is recommended strictly not to use weed during pregnancy and lactation.
Hope the information provided helps. All the best.

Dr. Ashakiran. S
