Be careful smoking now and days the hospitals drug test the baby just to make sure that they are ok. My cousin lost her daughter because of this reason.

Nothing will be wrong with your baby just cause you smoke,my mom smoked everyday while pregnant with me,she rolled a joint on the way to deliver me! And im just fine. But to be honest i went from smoking all day everyday for 2 years straight, to quitting as soon as i found out i was pregnant,i quit all at once not little by little,and im still around a few people that smoke,i dont get urges yes i like it and i thibk about what it was like,but i want my baby to be healthy and i wanna be the best mom possible! But everyones different you do what you need to girl! Good luck:)

First off, Im not here to offend anyone. So please dont feel like I am bashing out on anyone of you. I just dont understand how the health of your own child is not enough to make you stop?! Be a MOM. If you want to be the best damn mother to your child, start NOW! Idc about your damn urges, you need to put your child first and not your pot smoking needs first. And another thing, lets say God forbid your child is born with something that was caused by Marijuana, what are you gonna do? Feel guilty? Blame yourself and cry about it? Possibly even quit then??? Well guess what, if that were to happen, none of that would be any good once the damage is done to an innocent child. So if you dont wish any harm upon your child and you as the MOTHER should protect your baby from everything, than you need to start NOW. I hope the next time you even THINK about smoking pot again, just know how selfish you are and how much of a bad mother you are. I hope you quit for the sake of your child because your little baby is growing inside you and is depending on you.

And yes up to 6-7 months is fine like I said it takes 3 months to clear both systems and that's for a daily weed smoker

I smoked weed up to 20 weeks due to nausea and plus I was a daily weed smoker for 10 years. My son is completely healthy and weed will not harm your baby. It's best to smoke out of a pipe or bong over a blunt.. It was very hard for me to quit. But I noticed cutting down to a snap instead of a fat bowl helped little by little also in the morning and at night rather than every other other.

It's best to quit at least 3 months before you give birth it'll be out of your system and the babies.. some hospitals don't drug test but some hospitals do and that always something you'd want to avoid.

Just try and cut back little by little and only do it when it's really needed drink lots of water and cranberry juice to begin cleaning your system.

I honestly didn't think I'd quit but I haven't even had the urge since I stopped sure I think about it but I promise you'll get over it and I promise it won't hurt your baby!

Just avoid joints and blunts stick to pipes

States are all different and so are all hospitals and insurances and for the people who didn't get checked there lucky but we all owe it to our babies to be clean and not dependent on it and not all hospitals check the poop they check blood to which would be out of the system quicker and u need to drink lots and lots of water
