A recent study published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology has found a significant link between cannabis use before and during pregnancy and a higher likelihood of experiencing nausea and vomiting in pregnancy (NVP). The research highlights that individuals who consume cannabis daily face the greatest risk, pointing to the need for increased awareness and alternative medical solutions for managing NVP.
The study revealed that both mild and severe cases of NVP were more prevalent among those who used cannabis during early pregnancy. Importantly, daily cannabis users had the highest odds of experiencing these symptoms, suggesting a potential dose-dependent relationship where increased use correlates with increased risk.
These findings underscore the importance of advising expectant mothers about the risks associated with cannabis consumption. As researchers continue to explore the implications of cannabis use during pregnancy, the results may inform guidelines and education for healthcare providers and patients alike.
