How Can Marijuana Be Removed From The System During Pregnancy?

I am almost 14 weeks pregnant. I smoked marijuana regularly for medical reasons, but slowed down when I found out about the baby. it helps the nausea, my pain, and my stress go away. it also helps me with my severe PTSD, insomnia, and also helps me eat. I am also in process of leaving my husband so it helps me come with or fighting all the time and he smokes it right in front of me and it hard to stop. what can I do my OB appointment is in 6 days. please help me. how do i get rid of the toxins in my body? I m afraid that will take my baby! I have no money

Hello,

Ok, you probably cannot influence the marijuana in the system in the short run. With repeated use it may or may not be there for 6 days but flushing does not work. On the other hand, if you quit totally now it will certainly be totally out of the system by delivery.

If you do NOT quit totally, then some places test the stool of the infant and that does not get drugs back out of it once they go into it. So, any use by 6 months shows up months later but not in 3 months.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
