Everyone knows there are certain things you’re not supposed to do during pregnancy; eat raw shellfish, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol or take drugs just to name a few.
However the amount of women who are smoking marijuana during pregnancy is alarmingly on the rise.
Reachers have found that from 2009 to 2016, marijuana use rose from 4.2% to 7.1% for all pregnant women. The jump was significantly greater for those under 25 years old with the numbers going from 12.5% to 21.8% among those under age 18 and 9.8% to 19.0% among those 18 to 24 years old.
While some believe that smoking marijuana during pregnancy can help deal with symptoms such as aches, pains and morning sickness there is no medical research to back this up.
