“The elevated prevalence of prenatal marijuana use among women with nausea and vomiting in pregnancy is concerning given the potential for adverse health effects,” said Young-Wolff. “There are no approved indications for marijuana use in pregnancy, and national guidelines strongly recommend that pregnant women not use marijuana. While there is some uncertainty about the risks of using marijuana during pregnancy, research to date suggests that marijuana use in pregnancy is associated with lower offspring birth weight and neurocognitive impairments.”

According to Young-Wolff, the potentially adverse effects of marijuana use may depend on the potency of the marijuana used, though this would require more research. “It is also possible that marijuana use increases risk for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, or that clinicians are more likely to diagnose nausea and vomiting in pregnancy when women report using marijuana to treat it,” she said. ”Studies are needed to better understand the causal relation between nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and prenatal marijuana use.”

The study’s authors hope that this new research will educate women about the potential effects of using marijuana during pregnancy, contrary to information they may be receiving through other means. “There are many concerns about prenatal marijuana use and the potential for adverse effects on the fetus,” says Young-Wolff. “However, recent studies suggest that online media and marijuana dispensaries may be giving messages that perpetuate the perception that marijuana is a safe and effective治疗恶心怀孕呕吐。她说,我们的研究结果可用于教育临床医生关于怀孕妇女的孕妇中大麻使用的普遍率升高,怀孕呕吐。“

More Research Needed to Understand Why, How Pregnant Women Are Using Marijuana

While the study’s results were consistent with the authors’ hypothesis of increasing prenatal marijuana use, the authors believe more research is required to get a much clearer picture of the affects of marijuana use during pregnancy. “Although this is the largest study to date of nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and prenatal marijuana use, more research on this important topic is critically needed,” Young-Wolff says. “Additional studies that directly assess women’s reasons for using marijuana in pregnancy, and test the causal relation between nausea and vomiting in pregnancy and marijuana use, are needed. Large, well-designed longitudinal studies in representative samples of pregnant women that include validated measures of marijuana use and account for co-occurring substance use and mode of marijuana administration are needed to understand the true risks associated with prenatal marijuana use.”
