A friend of mine is 7 1/2 months pregnant and has been smoking pot the whole time. I'm very concerned for the baby. I, myself, am not a pot smoker and it makes me very upset to know she does this. What affects does pot smoke have on babies that are under developed? Thanks.... Crying or Very sad

Oh no! It is not good to smoke. I wish you could report it. If the doc knows and she gets tested, then social services come in. Please do something. The child can have birth defects or be slow. My neighbor did that with all 3 of her kids and max got held back in kindergarten, jeni doesnt talk and she is an year and 5 months, savanah doesnt smile and shes 7 months. It has big effects on them. Please do something for the baby.

I would agree with the previous post. The effects on the baby can be harmful. Low birth weight, possible facial effects. If nething it would be too late to actually do something. 7.5 months is a long time into a pregnancy, especially during the critical period. I would just make sure the baby is brought up in a good environment.
