Doctors say there's no evidence marijuana is safe during pregnancy.
"No amount of cannabis use has been shown to be safe during pregnancy," said Kelly Young-Wolff, lead author of the new report and a research scientist with Kaiser Permanente Northern California."We do know that cannabis crosses the placenta and reaches the fetus."
The researchers also found that the rates of women who said they were daily users of cannabis also increased, accounting for about 20 percent of the women who used marijuana while pregnant in 2017. That's a rise from 15 percent of women who reported using cannabis daily while pregnant in 2009. "There is substantial evidence that cannabis use in pregnancy is associated with lower offspring birth weight," she said.

Five Two Silicone Oven Mitts & Pot HoldersPreorder your Oven Mitts and Pot Holders today (our Five Two products have been known to sell out fast). Once yours are made, we’ll send them straight to your door. They’ll start shipping on August 9, 2019. When we turned to you to help us brainstorm our new Five Two oven mitts, we never dreamed lightning would strike twice. First, your fantastic ideas (25,000 smart opinions!) paved the way for oven mitts worth writing home about. Second, we realized that for all you do in the kitchen (and beyond), you needed extra reinforcements. That’s where our pot holders come in—dozens of you asked for a snappy set on the side, perfect for quick pickups. So here they are, together in perfect harmony: our oven mitts and pot holders, working side-by-side to handle every task imaginable. We thought through every detail, for two hands-down winners: Magnets & loops for hanging: Each mitt and potholder has magnets so they’ll stick to any magnetic oven, fridge or dishwasher, meaning they’re always in reach. We’ve added handy hanging loops, too. Platinum-grade silicone: Yes, that’s the best you can get—and you’ll feel the difference. Its heat protection is unparalleled (up to 650 degrees) but it’s still super thin and flexible, so you won’t sacrifice movement. No-fuss fabrics: Our mitts and pot holders are made with cotton, so they’re machine-washable, with a low-pile terry liner to keep things comfy. Extra arm protection: 60% of you wanted full-wrist protection, so we made our oven mitts longer to protect your forearms at the stove, oven, grill—basically, anywhere the heat is on. Easy-on, easy-off: As for our pot holders, they’ve got a pocket on the back so you can slip your hand inside (which goes a long way when you need to get a good grip). They do double-duty as trivets, too. Display-worthy design: Lots of mitts and pot holders look the same, but we went the extra mile to create a windowpane design that’ll look great even when they’re off-duty.
