Maternal marijuana use and neonatal morbidity.

“Marijuana use is becoming increasingly common in the obstetric population, however it is unknown whether it is associated with poor neonatal outcomes. We sought to determine the prevalence and risk factors for marijuana use in pregnancy, and to evaluate whether marijuana use is independently associated with poor neonatal outcomes.

CONCLUSION:

Marijuana use is common in pregnancy, but may not be an independent risk factor for poor neonatal outcomes in term pregnancies.”
