Pregnant. Smoked Marijuana For Anxiety, Pain. Will The Baby S System Be Clean?

Hello,

I am 34 Weeks 5 Days pregnant today and have smoked Marijuana for anxiety/pain while pregnant. I have stopped now but am wondering if my baby's system will be clean by delivery and what the consequences are if it is not. Will they take my baby from me? I have researched and am not needing to know the effects, just if his system will be clean?

Hello user
Why on Earth you had smoked during pregnancy !!!
You had also made your baby under the effects of that agent !!
This might have caused severe abnormalities in babies, as 34 weks is the time for the development of lungs of babies.

As far as clearance of drug is concerned, it will take 3-5 days to clear from last exposure !!

Hope my info helped you.
Regards
