Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering about side effects of smoking Marijuana during pregnancy in single episode. It could result in low birth weight babies, miscarriage, abortion. It can cause growth problem in foetus as well.

It will lower down immunity of your body as well as that of incoming foetus and susceptibility to certain infectious diseases like asthma increases. I would suggest you to immediately stop smoking marijuana . You should not take it even while lactating as well. It can also reach the baby by milk and will stay in baby system and will start giving adverse effects.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
