Is Smoking Marijuana While Being Pregnant Dangerous?
Hello, Im 17 years old and pregnant. I am 22 weeks pregnant and get my first ultrasound Friday. My doctor's appntmnt is on Tuesday. I smoked marijuana once on Monday or Tuesday, and im furiously angry with myself, but also very scared? how long will it stay in my system? i only hit it one time. How can i get it out? if my doctor drug test me, can she take my baby if it comes out posittive?
Yes, if your doctor finds evidence of drug abuse, your baby may be taken from you. But since you did it only once, there a high chance that you will not test positive. It is even possible that a drug test is not conducted. I would suggest that you do not worry. But please keep away from drugs in future.
Best wishes.
