It may be worse: When cannabis is smoked, many of the chemical compounds are destroyed by heat. When one ingests cannabis by mouth, the same chemicals are not destroyed, rather they are absorbed by the body where they must go through the liver for further metabolism and breakdown. Therefore, a pregnant mother may accidentally expose her fetus to perhaps hundreds of chemicals with unknown affects. Please stop.

It's ALL BAD : If you contemplate pregnancy, don't smoke or eat mj or smoke tobacco. They cause harmful effects on the fetus. Mj is associated with chromosomal breaks, prematurity and learning disabilities in fetuses exposed to it in utero.
