virginia+maybe 7 weeks pregnant+ smoking weed= child be taken away?

Well I havent had a period since april 30th, it never hit me until recently. I have been dealing with alot of family and personal problems and I think stress might be a factor. But me not being the type who has late periods from stress especially this long. maybe there might be a problem, well besides from that im not from virginia and i live with my fiance' and im not sure of the laws. all my friends that live here dont have children yet so they are no help. Does Va take your baby if you smoked weed? like do they test and find it and just up and take the baby? or do they tell you or what happens? this would be my first pregnany, but i dont want to stop smoking until i know for sure though that where my problem comes in at. because it could be stress and maybe i didnt ovulate for awhile and no period. symptoms i have/ had; hot flashes, needing more sleep, not much of a appetite change, frequent urination, mood swings, bloated belly under navel( sometimes its hard and bloated uncomfy like, other times its normal, mainly after i eat), my breast are swollen( tender for like a week in a half after my last period and disappeared right before my next cycle was supposed to come but didnt), pain during sex( when my fiance is on top of me i feel like bloated uncomfy fullness feeling), cramping feeling like im going to start bleeding but no blood, sometimes in the middle but alot on the left side. no real craving, no vomiting, only nausea when i am really thristy which i am all the time now. my nipples started off going dark but then turned lighter in color instead? well sorry for extra stuff just not sure if i should be worried that i could be pregnant and im waiting until july to see my doctor. just freaking out not sure if those are common symptoms in order to try to clean my system, or should i wait it out. does anyone know how Va laws work and how did they handle the situation?

Smoking anything at all deprives a fetus of oxygen. That is not my opinion, it is a fact.

^^ that is inaccurate, is does not remain in the system that long (16 weeks on), you were miss informed Julymom.

Fetal blood and maternal blood do not mix.

They test every baby. Anything you take drug wise is in the baby's blood from 16 weeks on, I would say stop now just to be sure.

Samantha there is no evidence that suggest marijuana is harmful to a fetus, children of weed smokers actually test better then people who don't smoke, they develop faster. Research it and by research I don't mean Google, go to a scientifically backed website that has actually done testing and are able to sight findings, not a site bashing it from start to finish giving BS statistics. Ok hun, thanks.

Yeah be careful, they just passed / are passing a nation wide bill that criminalizes any pregnant woman who does any drug of any kind, certain states take it father then others but there is a base bill fighting against it. I quit smoking refer at 34 weeks because I don't want to chance losing my baby, I don't feel weed is harmful but my opinion doesn't matter since the government feels otherwise. Be careful hun, baby comes first.
