Marijuana Use During Pregnancy Not Linked To Birth Risks

AdvertisementFigures from the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology show that between 2 and 5 percent of women claim to have used marijuana during pregnancy despite concerns that using pot while pregnant can harm the developing baby.Evidences on the dangers of using marijuana during pregnancy, though, have been spotty, and findings of a new review and analysis of earlier studies did not show independent link between pot use of a mother during pregnancy and adverse birth events such as preterm birth.While the review initially found an association between smoking marijuana during pregnancy and elevated risk of having preterm birth or a baby with low birth weight, the increase in risk was eliminated once the researchers considered if pregnant women also smoked tobacco in addition to smoking pot.
