What Are The Effects Of Smoking Weed On A Fetus?

I'm 34weeks pregnant & I've smoked weed up until about 5days ago because it helped me with chronic vomiting. I was wondering if my baby would be taken away from me if in the state of georgia if the baby tested positive for weed. Also what can I do to detox myself & baby before she's born

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Smoking weed has a hazardous effect on fetal development,with possebility of personality hazards, learning disability.
So apart from baby being taken away from you after looking it's birth blood values, you are going to spoil it's life by contnuation of smoking.
The way out is-
- to disclose the fact to your doctor- who may trt to minimize fetal side effects AFTER you stop smoking completely.
- Natural way of detoxification is to withdraw weed immediately.The effect from fetal & maternal blood receeds back within a couple of months time.
Thanks.
Thanks.
