My whole family smokes. I'm literally the only one who doesn't. I was around it both my pregnancies and will be around it this one too. I've never ever dropped dirty for any kind of testing. Honestly its nobodies business. I would just be a hell of a lot more cautious when the baby is born esp if you have trouble makers around you. I had cps called on me for marijuana and my dad showed his card and showed the cop his rooms and they cleared us. This happened to me twice. Si just be very cautious if he doesn't have his card. Not sure what state you live in.

U would have to Inhale a lot of second hand smoke to have a positive drug test. Please do your research people. & If its uncomfortable to u tell him to stop. I smoked with my now 3 year old son until about 16 weeks. People tell me hes the smartest 3 year old theyve met. Not saying it is ok but i dont think its as extreme as people make it out to be. 3 years later im smoke free & 11 wks preggers again. & My little boy is fine.

My sister smoked weed her whole pregnancy my niece was a healthy baby but! when she gave birth she was referred to Social Services and she was threatened to have baby taken away! no one should risk having there baby taken away ... if there's a chance you can come out positive when baby is born my suggestion is to not be around it... btw my bd smokes and i make him get away from me as far as possible even make him smoke outside my house

Just from my experience and personal opinion.. weed isn't nearly as bad as cig.. my mom smoked weed during both her pregnancies and me and my brother are fine and even even we were babies.. we have no health problems or anything perfectly healthy or whole lives.. but just my opinion weed smoke will not harm or do anything to u baby..

Its highly unlikely thst you would fail a drug test from second hand smoke. They have high cut off levels so they dont have false positives. But I would still suggest not to be  around it often. Especially in a closed in area likr a car with the windows up. Justmake sure if your forced to be around it thst the area is well ventilated. And try and go to another room if possible.. or just ask him to quit.

Ok I don't WANT to be around it. My baby daddy just doesn't believe me when I say it can affect me so I wanted other ladies opinions so I can show him that I'm not just being a *****.

I don't get why people are saying weed is harmless to a baby. Of course it can harm the baby.

When your smoking weed or cigs all your doing is inhaling the smoke in your lungs in and out why wouldn't it be in your system if your breathing the smoke in and out even if the blunt isn't touching your lips?! To me it would come out in your babys system

Im going through the same thing kind of. My dad smokes cigarettes and weed in the bathroom.  When I have to use it he comes out and there's usually smoke behind(not much). He closes the vents and puts things at the door so the smoke doesnt fill the entire house. He say's that washing the the walls with vinegar eliminates the smoke. Am I still being affected by it?

It won't hurt your baby but second hand smoke will be in yours and your baby's system. I used to smoke too with my husband but we both quit for baby because some women have been lucky and it hasn't affected them but some have had problems. So just to be safe I would ask your man to not do it around you. When they say you have to make sacrifices for your baby unfortunately this is one of those things you just shouldn't risk. It's not worth complications with baby. My husband is 34 years old and has been smoking since he was 15 and I couldn't believe he quit cold turkey not only for baby but me also :) it made everything less stressful and one less thing to worry about.

It will effect your drug test. My husband smokes and for a long time did it around me. I asked my nurse if it would have any effects on the drug test that they give you after your baby is born (Yes they drug test you even if you are in a state where marijuana is legal) and she told me that you can fail from secondhand smoke which would lead to a social worker talking to you and testing your Husband followed by a CPS case where they can take your baby away. I highly suggest if you want to take you baby home to tell your man to smoke outside or somewhere else. One wiff of the weed smoke and it can play into your test.

Any type of smoke deprives your baby of oxygen. Obviously cig smoke is the worst, but id keep that in mind.

No. You can't get high from second hand weed smoke unless someone literally sits there and continuously blows smoke right in your face for countless hours....

Wouldn't the smell give a positive test to weed when baby iss born? cause if he's smoking in the car with windows up I figure the smoke will go into moms lungs and get her high?

You and baby are fine unless the smell makes you physically ill.
