Is It Okay To Smoke Marijuana When Pregnant?

In thr state of mississippi does cps/dhs take your child for marijuana use during pregnancy ? &&& how far back does the poop testing go back for newborns? If i smoked 2 hits of marijuana at 27 weeks how long would it take to get out so that my child will not have it in his system when born ?

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Marijuana use during pregnancy can lead to low birth weight and chances of mental retardation. However as far as withdrawal symptoms in the child that you are considering, the cannabis doesnt stay for long in placental circulation and disappears in 2-3 hours.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
