Marijuana

Cannabis is made up of many chemicals including delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). Currently, it is recommended that you stop using cannabis when trying to become pregnant and during pregnancy. It has been shown to harm the baby’s developing brain, and increase the baby’s risk of lower birth weight and lower alertness. More research is still needed to understand how cannabis use affects your health and your baby’s during pregnancy.
