Babies exposed to cannabis in the womb may be at risk for obesity, high blood sugar

It turns out that if you expose a baby to cannabis while it’s still in the womb, there’s a chance it could lead to some health problems down the road. Just like how eating a lot of junk food can make you gain weight and increase your blood sugar levels, exposure to cannabis during pregnancy has been linked to obesity and high blood sugar in infants. A recent study found that more pregnant women are using cannabis, and this could have negative consequences for their babies. The researchers suggest that healthcare providers need to be aware of this trend and educate women about the potential risks of using cannabis during pregnancy. While more research is needed to understand the full extent of the impact, it’s important for pregnant women and their healthcare providers to have open conversations about substance use during pregnancy.
