My wife recently has had 3 miscarriages - 2 of them chemical pregnancies, one at 7 weeks. i am a marijuana smoker (2-3 a week) - is there a chance the weed is to blame? we have a 2 year old daughter

Possible: While it is know that marijuana causes chromosomal breakage, it is not clear whether it is responsible for miscarriages and infertility. I usually advise my patients to err on the side of caution and stay away from it.

Cannabis use by: Mother. Studies through vanderbilt university medical center have linked cannabis with ectopic pregnancy and early miscarriages.

MEDICATION: Best to discuss medication with her Gynecologist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. consult another for a second opinion. Fears and anxiety could be heightened due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe & hopeful to elevate your immune system.
