“…Cannabis use in pregnancy is understood to increase as states move toward legalization. 4,6,7,28 The prevalence of the self-disclosure of prenatal cannabis use reported within this data set was lower than average compared with previous studies on cannabis use among childbearing people of all sociodemographic groups reported within the literature. There are several midwifery-led holistic lifestyle screening interventions reported in the literature that suggest standardized screening within a nonjudgmental context should be the normative model of care.…”

Background: Healthcare providers require data on associations between perinatal cannabis use and birth outcomes. Methods:This observational secondary analysis come from the largest perinatal data registry in the United States related to the midwifery-led birth center model care (American Association of Birth Centers Perinatal Data Registry; N = 19 286). Births are planned across all birth settings (home, birth center, hospital); care is provided by midwives and physicians. Results: Population data show that both

“…The herbal medicine studies were notable here in their discussion of the efficacy of cannabis for controlling nausea and vomiting 61 , 62 . In the other 10 studies, benefits were only mentioned incidentally, such as when quotes from individual participants mentioned using cannabis to treat depression and other health problems 52 or to manage stress and forget problems 52 , 53 . Instead, these 10 studies focused on describing perceptions of the harms of cannabis use in pregnancy and strategies to cease and reduce use.…”

Introduction: Rates of perinatal cannabis use are rising, despite clinical evidence about the potential for harm. Accordingly, pregnant and lactating people who perceive a benefit from cannabis use may have a difficult time making informed decisions about cannabis use. Methods:We conducted a systematic review of mixed-methods research to synthesize existing knowledge on the perspectives of pregnant people and their partners about cannabis use in pregnancy. Six health and social science databases were searched up until May 30, 2021. There were no methodological, time, or geographic limits applied. We employed a convergent integrative approach to the inductive analysis of findings from all studies. Results:We identified 26 studies describing views of 17,781 pregnant and postpartum people about cannabis use in pregnancy. No studies describing the views of partners were identified, and only one study specifically addressed the perspectives of lactating people. Comparative analysis revealed that whether cannabis was studied alone or grouped with other substances resulted in significant diversity in descriptions of participant decision-making priorities and perceptions of risks and benefits. Studies of cannabis alone demonstrated a complex decision-making process whereby perceived benefits are balanced against the available information about risk, which is often unclear and uncertain. Clear and helpful information was difficult to identify, and health care providers were not described as a helpful and trusted resource for decision-making.Discussion: Decision-making about cannabis use is difficult for pregnant and lactating people who perceive a benefit from this use, although this decisional difficulty is seldom reflected in studies that examine cannabis as one of multiple substances that pregnant or lactating people may use. Our review suggests several approaches clinicians may take to encourage open and supportive conversations to facilitate informed decisions about cannabis use during the perinatal period.

“…33,34 However, women residing in states where recreational cannabis is illegal have poor or uncertain knowledge of the risks associated with cannabis use during pregnancy. 35,36 State prenatal urine drug screening requirements have changed as a result of recreational cannabis legalization. 37 Fear of punitive action-particularly among those who have had a positive toxicology screening result during pregnancy or at the time of delivery-may have caused women to be less likely to report use when asked retrospectively.…”
