Quitting weed cold turkey will not hurt you or the baby--the only real effects are an increase in dreams and difficulty sleeping (both of which happen during pregnancy anyway). Marijuana use during pregnancy is a contested issue, and while I've chosen to abstain I know it helps some women with nausea & stress. If you're going to use, edibles are your best bet. Smoking anything can introduce toxins into your lungs. Some states/insurance carriers automatically drug test newborns and will get child protective services involved if they test positive, so that's something else to consider.

I quit smoking cigarettes 2.5 years ago so I can't speak to that, but I've read that heavy smokers should wean off a bit to avoid undue stress. Honestly it's best to discuss this with your doctor. They're not supposed to judge, so if you do & they get rude about it remind them they're supposed to be helping, not criticizing.

Some people I've known have liked to use this as an excuse to smoke throughout the pregnancy, which has always irritated me. There are loads of studies about the negative effects of cigarette smoking on an unborn baby and it's simply not worth it.

I'm not trying to be preachy & I know I've given you more info than your question asked, but I thought it could help others that are wondering but too scared to ask.
