Smoked Marijuana During Whole Pregnancy. How To Clean Out The System Before Delivery?

i am currently 31 weeks pregnant. I have smoked marijuana for my whole pregnancy only because it took away my morning sickness and made me able to eat again. Also, to help with pain. What do i have to do in order to clean out my system before my son is born?

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

There is nothing that you can do to clean out your system. The best thing that you can do is to stop using marijuana and avoid people who are using. Fetal meconium (the first stools that a baby produces after birth) will remain positive for drug use during pregnancy for weeks to months. The best thing that you can do is to let your OB Provider know what you have been doing and let them know about your plan to stop.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
