CBD use during pregnancy?

Question

pregnancy?" /> 
I just got an email from babycenter about CBD use during pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Just wanted to know how everyone felt about it. 
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a product that's derived from cannabis. It's a type of cannabinoid, which are the chemicals naturally found in marijuana plants, or hemp plants. Even though it comes from marijuana plants, CBD doesn't create a “high” effect or any form of intoxication — it can actually lessen the high of THC. You are able to get CBD with no THC in it.

Answer

It depends on the situation. Does your OB recommend it for your severe nausea? Or did Karen from an MLM recommend it for your nausea because she’s wary of “big pharma”? 
I’m inclined to follow the direction of my doctor.

Answer

There’s no enough studies to prove that it’s safe.
There are studies that show it can cause a low birth weight and other complications.
It’s not worth the risks.

Answer

I wouldn’t. They likely haven’t (can’t) study its effect in pregnant women

Answer

Why does this topic always come up. Please avoid any drugs and alcohol use during pregnancy. It’s 9 months of sobriety.

Answer

I personally would continue to use it since the pros outweigh the cons (I use it instead of opioid pain meds) but if someone wants to use it then should always get it cleared with their doctor. Obviously if its something they can live without for 9 months then they should probably avoid it but if it's something that is an important tool in their health and wellbeing then it should be weighed out with a doctor.

Answer

No. There’s no studies proving it’s safe.

Answer

I have cbd topicals I use for swelling in my feet and ankles that had become painful and was due to stool softeners after my c section. I think topicals are okay because it doesn’t get past your skin but investing things always has risks

Answer

Ask. Your. OB

Answer

Best to consult doctor but yes, I used it in first pregnancy because of hyperemesis. Not a single (unsafe) anti nausea med helped. I tried four brands. Some of them were classed as potentially unsafe or not recommended during pregnancy. And they still prescribed it because hyperemesis is serious. 
Cbd saved me, it worked. I could hydrate. And prenatal probiotics surprisingly helped a ton as well. Second pregnancy probiotics did nothing and one prescription anti nausea med helped.
Nothing is really studied in pregnant women, so even prescribed medications may not be 100% safe or known to be safe, but you always have to weigh with your doctor the risk factor of taking vs not taking. My doctor had no issue with cbd.

Answer

Honestly I’m all for cannabis and any of its derivatives but for real, you can barely drink tea when you’re pregnant so without any conclusive studies (though i know there is a historical bias against anything cannabis) I would still stay away.
