The study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine, evaluated the associations between prenatal cannabis use and maternal health outcomes. It found that prenatal cannabis use may increase the risks of gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and placental abruption, but decrease the risk of gestational diabetes. However, it did not show associations with eclampsia, placenta previa, placenta accreta, or severe maternal morbidity. The findings highlight the need for continued research to understand the complex association between prenatal cannabis use and maternal health.
