We do not recommend consuming or smoking weed while you’re pregnant. This is an informative guide only. And if you know someone who is pregnant and still uses weed then you might remind her of the effects of cannabis to an unborn child.
As much as tobacco and alcohol are dangerous to pregnant women, consuming weed is also something that they must refrain from doing. When you smoke weed during pregnancy, the following may happen to your baby:
Whatever a mother consumes like food, drinks, medicine, and drugs, her baby is also consuming, smoking and inhaling. There are three stages of pregnancy and regardless of what stage the pregnancy is, a mother must always consider the health and safety of her unborn child.
If you still remember how agitated and paranoid you were when you consumed your first sativa then your baby might suffer the same thing as swell. It may have been scary for you as you tasted your first high THC strain! But what about the scary effects of THC? If it scared the hell out of you then your baby may also be experiencing the same time.
Consider that strains with moderate amounts of THC at 19% to 20% may be very hard to deal with. If you found these strains too much then imagine how would a baby feel?
An unborn child still has underdeveloped cardiovascular, nervous and immune systems. He still does not have a developed endocannabinoid system that adults have. The ECS is a network of receptors that are found in the brain, spinal cord, and gastrointestinal system. An unborn baby may not be able to tolerate the different compounds in weed because of underdeveloped ECS.
And despite claiming that you use medical cannabis for the treatment of a particular medical condition, the compounds of these strains can cause dangerous effects.
Cannabis strains may be stimulating and relaxing. A strain with high THC is a stimulating and psychoactive strain while those with high CBD are relaxing and therapeutic strain. THC and CBD balance each other out, therefore, a strain with high CBD may have lower or even close to absent THC and vice versa.
A hybrid is a cross of the two types. A hybrid has stimulating and at the same time depending on which strain (sativa or indica) is dominant in a strain. But no matter how stimulating or relaxing components in the strain these can cause mental changes to the user.
Some consumers experience anxiety, restlessness, paranoia and other severe mental effects. If these side effects may happen to a grown user, woman or man, that may also happen to a fetus or an unborn child?
Experts think that what we know of cannabis now is just the tip of the iceberg. This means that they are still unsure of the effects of cannabis to a grown person, therefore they are also very unsure what will happen if a baby or a child is exposed to cannabis.
Aside from the psychoactive and mental effects, cannabis may have other physical effects that users may be anxious about. Because of the THC, you can expect increased blood flow to the different parts of the body such as the brain, heart, lungs, muscles, eyes and other body systems.
An adult may experience common THC side effects like dry mouth and dry eyes. Other side effects include headaches, restlessness and drowsiness are common. People new to cannabis often experience side effects like these more intensely than those who regularly consume cannabis. Therefore, think of what would happen to your unborn baby.
As of the moment, there are no studies on the effects of cannabis on an unborn child. There is no research on the effects of weed on a child who has a mother who smokes cannabis. But doctors link weed use to the following potential effects:
A newborn will have low birth weight when his mother consumes cannabis whether its medicinal or therapeutic cannabis. The mother inhales carbon monoxide when she smokes weed and this reduces the amount of oxygen that will bind to blood cells. And because of this, blood cells are unable to properly carry oxygen and this leads to poor development of the unborn child. Poor development restricts the growth of a baby and this can lead to birth defects.
A mother could go into early labor because of weed. THC increases blood flow to the different parts of the body and this includes the uterus. This could lead to early labor which may be too early that the unborn child is still not completely developed.
When an unborn child is exposed to weed, it may not be able to completely develop and reach its full growth potential inside the womb. This may affect his length, size, and head circumference. Aside from these, body systems like the brain, lungs, gastrointestinal system and urinary systems may also be underdeveloped.
The lungs are usually the last ones to develop in an unborn child. If a mother smokes weed until she third trimester, her child will be born with immature lungs. This means that it may not be able to breathe on his own. Other defects include holes in the heart, underdeveloped gastrointestinal systems and more.
A mother who smokes cannabis during pregnancy may experience stillbirth. This is because marijuana contains chemicals that can be very dangerous to an unborn child. A baby may die at any time within the 9 months inside his mother’s womb because of smoking weed.
Experts also say that babies that are born from mothers who have smoked weed while pregnant develop problems as they turn older. You might observe signs of withdrawal as early as when they are very young. Withdrawal signs that are typical of adults may be seen in babies including reduced appetite, problems with sleeping and irritability.
Children could also exhibit other signs of withdrawal including loss of focus on different activities, chilling, sweating and gastrointestinal problems. These withdrawal symptoms are indeed less severe compared to opioid and alcohol withdrawal but these can happen in a very small and vulnerable.
A child may not exhibit any symptom when he is young but as he grows older, these may be observed. He may suffer from poor memory, poor impulse control, poor performance in school, limited attention span, and his appearance may look frail and sickly.
Women who plan to get pregnant or breastfeed after giving birth should avoid consuming or smoking cannabis. Even medical cannabis should be avoided. These days, several states have legalized medical marijuana and this may lead to pregnant women using cannabis as well.
They may be looking for ways of using medical cannabis to relieve common pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness, nausea, vomiting, and poor appetites. But despite these, it is very controversial to use cannabis during pregnancy.
According to experts, it’s dangerous to use medical cannabis for pregnant women because it has no standard dosages, formulation, delivery systems and have no FDA-approval. If a pregnant woman would like to relieve nausea or other medical symptoms during pregnancy, they must consult their doctor for natural remedies for morning sickness.
Nowadays, most users are completely misinformed about medical marijuana. This leads to making incorrect and even costly decisions related to their health.
Always remember that it is during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy when active development of the unborn child happens. This is the reason why doctors recommend mothers and mothers-to-be to keep away from any medication.
Consider that no matter what strain, dose, and method of consumption, taking cannabis is harmful to an unborn child. If you have this concern or you know someone who’s smoking or consuming weed while pregnant, consult a doctor right away.
Currently, there are no studies about the effects of marijuana on an unborn baby or the different trimesters of human pregnancy. Therefore, you must stay safe than sorry.
Also, a doctor can diagnose any abnormality of an unborn baby and monitor his development throughout pregnancy. And if you are pregnant and still smoking cannabis, your doctor will certainly ask you to quit right away. Same goes for smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol.
But if you want more help weaning from cannabis then it’s best to enroll in a program to help you quit cannabis use. You may resume smoking or consuming weed after you have finished breastfeeding your child.
