A : A number of studies have suggested that marijuana can be teratogenic. However, those studies are on women who used the drug themself. The more the use, the higher the association with complications. It sounds like you have had very little exposure. You husband and friends need to stop smoking cannabis around you.

Have faith: Like it or not, men get a bit of a pass on the issue of bad habits and effect on a baby.They generate millions of sperm from stem cells, and these can be individually effected by such habits, but the healthiest sperm are the best swimmers and most likely to get to the egg first.Once conception occurs, dads habits/behavior fade into the background and it is the mom who provides the environment.
