Women’s cannabis use before, during, and after pregnancy in New Hampshire

Abstract Self-reported prevalence of cannabis use was highest before pregnancy. Prenatal cannabis users most frequently reported using cannabis as an antiemetic. Before and after pregnancy, the top reason for cannabis use was to relieve stress or anxiety. Future research should examine use patterns and motives during these periods.
