Are you able to switch doctors? Is there anything else they can do?
I know that you are 35 weeks... but I think I would switch doctors even this late in the game if they weren't doing everything they could to help you.
if when you deliver and there is drugs in the baby's system then they may take him away from you becuase you and the baby has drug in your body weed is still an illegela narcotic thats what they are going to be looking at not just ooh its weed thats nothing. so i wouldnt tell the doctor they report all type of stuff all day long. and once you tell thenm that that they will report it. but goodluck and try to stop smoking weed you can do damage to the baby brain cells/
Everything that everyone said is true, but I think you should switch doctors and talk about it with the, tell them everything, they won't take you rbaby away unless, like honey said, it's in the baby's system.. however, if there is a doctor that realizes it is the only thing that helps, you may, may just be able to get a legal medical prescription.... And yeah, there has not been any clear solid research on the effects of marijuana on an unborn fetus.. the only ones i've read about say that babies have a high pitch cry, etc. due to withdrawl symptoms, if you use it a lot, every day... the only other symptom i've read on, is that there may possibly be attention problems in the future... but there hasn't really been any concrete stufies on this... and it's really only women who abuse marijuana, smoke it every day for their entire pregnancies.. etc. Ask your doctor because they would have the best advice on it. get a new doctor, would be my reccomendation if he/she isn't fixing your problem..it sounds rather serious.
You need to be honest with your doctor and come to a solution. They will test your baby in the hospital for illegal narcotics and will take him away then and there. You may be able to get him back later, or someone may adopt him and you won't be able to get him back or it'll be very difficult to get him back. There's a Halle Berry movie called, "Losing Isaiah" that you can watch if you want. She was a drug-addicted woman who had a baby...
Also, you need to not smoke weed after the baby comes. You need to be a responsible, mature parent. So if you're addicted, you need to find help. The only way to find help is to admit you have a problem. Your doctor should be able to help you.
When you go to the doctor, you fill out a form on your first appointment that asks if you smoke or use street drugs. THEY NEED TO KNOW. I'm very concerned for your unborn baby especially if you've been smoking weed this entire time.
If you can't find websites on how weed affects unborn babies, here's a few sites:

Sorry, I have to comment on the "Losing Isaiah" this is so far different.. isn't she addicted to crack or something, and leaves her baby in a dumpster?... :S Other than that, she's right... yeah
