Is vaporizing marijuana during pregnancy bad for the baby?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, it is bad : Exposing yourself to marijuana when you're pregnant, exposes your baby also. It is not safe for you or the baby. Such babies can be low birth weight, delayed breathing, increase startle reflex, tremors, and ventricular septal defects. Also there are signs of later developmental problems as well. http://adai.uw.edu/marijuana/factsheets/reproduction.htm.

Agree with Dr Pappas: Add to her comments that babies birth size is likely smaller,as is head size.S/he will be at higher risk of sudden infant death syndrome.If your baby is monitored for drug exposure, they can detect it in the poo, which provides evidence dating back several months.Once found in my state, baby goes into foster care.
