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?

You should stop smoking anyway this is your child's and your health. Don't screw up your kid like that it seems selfish

Nope i dont live there but i think jts generally the same. I dont think most places even test unless ur doc suspects something. Its just bad cuz the baby doesnt get as much oxygen when ur inhaling smoke but if ur worried just quit. Its not worth losing your baby. Child services will take him/her if u or the baby fails.
