What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?

Posted on Wed, 1 Mar 2017

Question: OK I have a friend and she is 32 weeks pregnant she smoked weed very so often to help her eat.But now she stopping completely and she has 55 days left. Should the THC be out of her and the baby system by the time it's time to deliver..She drinks lots of water and cranberry juice and she wanted to also know if Apple cider vinegar OK to intake as well.

Brief Answer:
Fetal Doppler and ultrasound advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic
It is of course not a good habit at all as she already knows but as far as taking it out of her system prior to delivery is not a concern
It is important to rule out the deleterious effects it could have caused rather than to check the exit of drug from her body.
So ask her to quit the weed at the earliest and then get an ultrasound and fetal Doppler done to be sure of good growth of the baby.
If course she should maintain high water intake
All the best

Yes it will leave her system soon and that is not a concern right now if her ultrasound and Doppler are fine
Just get her ultrasound and then we can discuss the management further

her ultrasounds are fine baby growing as normal she just want to make sure the THC is out of her and the baby system by the time the birth of the child.. Cause a positive drug test will result in taking her child away..And does lemon water work as well?
