That is true as well. Marijuana is known
to last longer in your system the more you smoke. I would talk to your Dr about it and see if he can test you to see how your levels are dropping instead of getting cps involved because you were a smoker before and you barely found out you were pregnant. Maybe thats why there trying to involve cps since your already "far along".
If marijuana is illegal where you live, then I'd say the office acted appropriately...
@loveyouforever that sounds so much more applicable! I tried to explain how b4 being preg I used weed to sleep and when finding out only 6 weeks ago I began weaning myself off and have been completely clean for about two weeks now but this laidy was just insanely rude noatyer what I said. I didn't understand it weed can stay in your system for like 6 months depending in the frequency at which u used it so why not test my lvls and sew that they are steadily dripping b4 calling CP's?
I live in grand rapids, Michigan. I smoked weed during the beginning of my pregnancy because I couldn't eat enough to give my baby what she needed. I had continuous nausea & pains like no other. Weed helped. When I tested positive I spoke my case & how I researched it. My doctor agreed & said the most that would happen was CP's would possibly be called just to make sure the baby was in good hands. She said they wouldn't go any further because if they took everyone's child that smoked weed, basically 50% of kids would need new homes. Maybe that's just where I'm from, but they don't look at it that bad here at all. Its decriminalized.
I smoked all day everyday 24/7.
BEFORE i found out i had a bun in the oven. At my first ob appointment i was obviously "dirty" (my urine sample) . At the next appointment my doctor pointed out to me how they found marijuana in my system and to quit then and there as it can cause harm to my baby. I was shocked because i didn't know they even tested for that,but i wasnt mad either because it's there job to keep baby from harms way. I explained to her how i smoked everyday until i found out i was pregnant. Im 29wks clean and haven't had a problem since ;) i agree with @MFAYB Things are different now ,in awhole other time zone. Hospitals and clinics have the right to do whatever they please as far as testing with drugs and ensuring the health of the baby
I didn't say anything negative at all. I stated the fact that other things are legal and they can still get you into trouble if the baby test positive for them. So you can take your unneeded attitude and direct it elsewhere. I wasn't rude at all. I am a women and so are you how does it help either of us for you to speak that way towards me?
