Though research among pregnant women and marijuana-exposed neonates is limited, there is evidence to suggest that marijuana use may increase the risk of stillbirth and is associated with neurodevelopmental deficits in the infant.
Evidence-based programs to prevent initiation of marijuana use should target women of childbearing age.
In addition, THC passes from mother to baby through breastmilk; thus, cessation should continue post-partum.
