Maybe: Smoking tobacco does cause pre-term labor. I don't think marijuana has been adequately studied for that. However i would guess the risk would be lower than tobacco because it does not have the same stimulant properties but it is certainly not advisable.

Yes, it sure can : Smoking marijuana during pregnancy is associated with several problems, including premature labor. Also there are low birth weight babies. Small for gestational age babies, and admission to the neonatal intensive care unit. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22258135 and http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/22815699 you are assuming these risks if you smoke marijuana while pregnant.
