Cannabis And Pregnancy

It is not wise to use any drugs during pregnancy. THC passes from the mother to the baby through the placenta. There is some evidence that women who smoke cannabis may give birth to smaller babies or have premature deliveries. Other studies show that newborn babies may have trouble sleeping if their mother used cannabis during pregnancy. Also, in the first six months of life, babies who have been exposed to cannabis in-utero are at a greater risk of developing asthma, chest infections and other breathing problems such as wheezing.
