What: A study of over 350,000 pregnancies found 11% of women used cannabis before conception, and over 6% did during pregnancy. And women with worse nausea and vomiting symptoms were more likely to be using cannabis. In other words, they may have been trying to alleviate symptoms that can often go without official treatment.

Key line: “This study found that preconception and prenatal cannabis use were associated with increased odds of both mild and severe NVP during the first trimester, with the highest odds observed among individuals using cannabis daily before or during early pregnancy. Findings underscore the need for patient education and medically appropriate therapies for NVP management.”
