How Long Does Marijuana Stay In The Body?

So at the very beginning of my pregnancy I smoked marijuana up until I was about 8 weeks and then I stopped completely and I haven t smoked since. Well I m 33 weeks today and I took a couple of small hits off of my pipe and I m curious about how long that could stay in my system? I m worried that I ll test dirty at birth and cps will get involved and I obviously don t want that.

Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query smoking Marijuana could affect since first trimester till last trimester. It cannot be predicted actually that how long will it stay as it depends on body metabolic rate as a general rule it stays 30 days in body and detected mainly in initial 10 days. It could result in low birth weight babies, miscarriage, abortion. I would suggest you to stop it immediately. If after baby birth you will start having it again it will reach by milk and will stay in baby system and will start giving adverse effects. You should take wheatgrass Juice , the chlorophyll in wheatgrass is what makes it so cleansing as chlorophyll is a potent blood, liver and gastrointestinal cleanser. It could affect psychological and physical growth of child.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
