Before pregnancy, you may have regularly used CBD. Now that you’ve got a baby on board you might be wondering whether you can take CBD during pregnancy. After all, pregnancy symptoms seem like they might be helped with a dose of CBD. What with the backache, nausea, anxiety, cramps and pains. However, it might be best to leave your CBD on the shelf for the duration of your pregnancy.
CBD is one of the fastest-growing industries. You’ll find the cannabinoid in gummies, drinks, oil drops, vape e-liquid, protein bars and more. The cannabinoid, which is found in the cannabis plant, is said to help with conditions such as anxiety, epilepsy, depression, nausea, pain, inflammation and more. While it is non-addictive and does not have side effects, it is not recommended for pregnant women.
Research on CBD during pregnancy
As with lots of medicines in pregnancy, there is scant research on CBD during pregnancy. However, experts advise expectant mothers to avoid it. They suggest that mums-to-be do not use marijuana or any of the by-products. Research has found that using marijuana regularly during pregnancy can lead to babies with low birth weight. While this could be due to THC, it is best avoided to be sure.
If you have had a dose of CBD before you knew you were expected, don’t panic. It might be worth mentioning to your midwife, however, the research on low birth weights is from regular users of marijuana. If you are really reluctant to give up your CBD then you need to talk to your Doctor. They may be able to prescribe something to help with the condition you are suffering, that is known to also be safe for the baby.

Final thoughts
We would suggest that while CBD may be safe during pregnancy, you err on the side of caution and don’t take it for the 9 months. You can take advantage of the new products on the market once the baby is here. You can always put some bits in your shopping basket ready to come back to once the baby is born. While you might not have much trouble sleeping post-baby, you might find you have new aches and pains to contend with.
