Do they not take into account other matters such as life style? I'm from England and used to have a drug problem I went through rehab and had a specialist mid wife throughout my pregnancy once she saw I was living a clean life style she decided not to involve social services that was 6 years ago. I really hope that everything goes well for you. It would be nice to hear how you get on goodluck!

No matter how long you smoked,all you have to do is go to drug store &buy cranberry vitamins,because its a natural vitamin for you and bby,it cleans your system,You only need to take 1-2gel tablets a day.One tab is like drinking 8glasses of cranberry juice,after 2wks take a drug test at home I promise it will come back negative.My nutritionist actually told me about this&it worked.
I hope you find a lil comfort in this,let me kno wat happens.
Dont worry you &bby will b fine

I'm sorry that you have to worry, women who smoke cigarettes can do it there whole pregnancy abs just get a slap on thier wrists but marijuana they attemp to take your child when its a lesser of two evils. I think you will be fine marijuana is a fat soluble substane hint why some people can clear there system faster than others. For and time I need to clear my system I drink 80 to 100 ounces of water a day and tried to work out so the thc would release from my body faster and not just sit in my fat. It may be a good idea to walk daily up until you delivery. I wish you the best of luck, I quite as soon as I found out but before I smoked daily for the last five years. It was kind of hard because I didn't want to eat much and was sick but I did because I read and so many people said they will take your baby away it scard me.

Did u know that I'm sure it can get out of ur system but they check ur baby's cord blood and any pills or drugs u have done the whole 3 trimester shows up in that blood.. my mom is a foster parent and that's how she just got the baby she has!!

I came up dirty in the hospital when I had my son. I'm not sure what state u live in but whathappened to me hherein California is they tested the baby's blood. If the baby came up positive then you won't be able to take the baby home. The baby didn't come up positive so all they did was send a social worker to come talk to me while I was still in the hospital. That's California. Marijuana usually takes 30 days to leave ur system...max. good luck girl. Don't worry too much.
