I am in my first trimester and need to rid my body of THC from smoking weed before I found out I was pregnant. I haven't had an ultrasound or any tests yet, and I'm taking prenatal vitamins. I also experienced a traumatic event and started lightly bleeding. I don't have health insurance and am living out of our car. How can I safely detox THC from my system, and is the bleeding and stress harmful to the baby?

I have been experiencing itchiness and a fishy smell around my vaginal area, which started more than two weeks ago. The itchiness was initially accompanied by tenderness, redness, and swelling after unprotected sex with a new partner. The symptoms subsided after a week without sex but returned with the fishy smell when I resumed sexual activity. My discharge has also increased and is slightly clumpy. What could be causing these symptoms, and what can I do to address them?
