Smoking cannabis

My girlfriend is a regular cannabis smoker and has been smoking mildly and she is now on week 29 of her pregnancy.
I understood she was stressed and found it hard but i cannot watch her do it anymore and what i am now nervous about is if she stops now will the baby suffer withdrawal? I dont think she knows the complications this can cause although she is a young first time mother i cannot let her live like this and i am worried about the stress of withdrawel or me leaving her. We recently got a 3d scan and the baby is apparently healthy

Will she continue to smoke after the baby is born and she is responsible for its care?

So sorry to hear. That must be so stressful to watch. I don't think cannabis causes babies to suffer withdrawal, but neither is it good for them. What does your girlfriend say when you ask her to stop?

The plan was to stop gradually but as time goes on it has not stopped.. the plan also was to paint the apartment so its smoke free but its now 11 weeks to go and all i do is worry everyday and night. Im at the stage now were i am going to put my foot down but if i leave her this could cause her stress also. When i ask her she says she knows and she will soon, lately i am speaking of stillbirths due to smoking as its cigaretts aswel and she cries when i mention this. I know she cares a lot for the child im just unsure she knows how serious the situation is

Can you go to a midwife appointment and mention it there? Some midwives are specially trained to help pregnant women stop smoking and I imagine they have a protocol and recommendations for cannabis smoking too.
