What Are The Side Effects Of Smoking During Pregnancy?
Hello. My daughter is 18 and almost 4 months pregnant. She said she stopped once she found out she was pregnant but I have reason to believe that she is still smoking pot. Can you tell me what the dangers are and possibly how to deal with this please? I appreciate it!
