Healio (5/17, VanDewater) reports, “Women with a history of depression were more likely to use marijuana and screen positive for postpartum depression than women without a history of depression,” researchers concluded after retrospectively reviewing “data from 842 patients who received prenatal care at their academic medical center between Jan. 1, 2017, and Dec. 31, 2019.” The study also revealed a possible “link between marijuana use during pregnancy and postpartum depression regardless of depression history.” The findings were presented at the 2022 ACOG Annual Clinical & Scientific meeting.
