Accidentally Smoked Weed- 12 weeks pregnant

hcameron25

Hello all. I need some advice/reassurance. I just found out I'm pregnant. I'm about 12 weeks alon . I had no idea before. I get sick a lot, and I've never had regular periods. I've been smoking every day for the past 12 weeks. Not a ton, just a puff or two, a bowl at the most. Is my baby going to be okay? I'm obviously quitting now that I know!

This is a concern that should be brought up with your doctor. They might be able to provide some resources if you need help quitting as well. There’s nothing you can do about the past now so it’s better to focus on making the best choices for your baby from now on.

How would we know if your baby is going to be ok? I sincerely hope that everything works out for you and your baby, but this is absolutely a question for your medical team.

Be upfront and honest with your doctor.

I think you'll likely be fine, but I agree with asking your doctor if you're really concerned about it.  They will probably just tell you to make sure you don't smoke anymore, because even though a lot of studies haven't been done for cannabis specifically, smoking is always bad for your baby.  If it makes you feel any better, there was a study done in Jamaica years back about the effects of smoking cannabis while pregnant and there were no negative effects.  But just be careful from here on out and good luck with your pregnancy!
