Question : I smoked marijuana once at 28 weeks pregnant a couple days ago. I had the flu and my sister in law said it would ease up the throwing up. I only smoked like 3 puffs but am seriously worried now and know it was stupid. I have my glucose test tomorrow and want to know if it will show up on that test or any? Also will this be present when I give birth??? Also I was not a smoker before being pregnant so this was new to me.

Brief Answer:
do not take marijuana again

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I can understand your concerns.

3 puffs will Not affect your pregnancy.

It will not show up on a glucose Test.

It will not be present in your delivery

But make sure you do not take marijuana again as it will then be harmful to your baby.

There are medications to prevent vomiting in pregnancy which you can use
