Brief Answer:
Occasional use before 17 weeks is not likely to be detected.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
If you were a regular smoker and had it at least twice or thrice a week prior to 17 weeks pregnancy then the traces might be detected in meconium. In case it was only an occasional use then it will not be detectable in meconium. Nothing to worry.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
