Cannabis Addiction During Pregnancy

Article Category: Self Help

Author Name: Everythingaboutweed

Cannabis addiction has more negative effects, especially if the woman is currently bearing a child. The following are some of the effects on the mother and child due to marijuana use.

Circulatory

As soon as you take a whiff of the joint roll smoke, the effects can immediately take place on the blood vessels. The peripheral blood vessels will harden. The hardening of the blood vessels will lead to increase risk for peripheral vascular problems, especially of the lower extremities.

Cardiac

Within an hour of smoking weed, your base heart rate can spike up. This is caused by the dilation of the coronary blood vessels. When this happens, there is an increased workload for the heart. In the long run, this can lead to edema and probable heart failure during labor.

Depression

Aside from the post-labor depression that the pregnant woman may go through, cannabis addiction can elevate the chances of having clinical depression. This may be attributed to the imbalance of the facilitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters that surround the brain barrier.

Neurological

Because of the neurotransmitter imbalance inside your brain, the brain may undergo permanent damage. The extent of damage may occur in any brain region. In the long run, this can lead to delays in the vital functions of the brain.

Adipose

The increase of the adipose tissues in different regions of the pregnant woman's body during cannabis use can lead to elevated risk of acquiring cardiovascular problems such as heart attack and stroke.

Vulnerability

During the first trimester, the child may acquire physical congenital defects. In some cases, cannabis use can lead to increased risks of the child acquiring neurological deficits. Also, continuous marijuana use can decrease the efficiency of the child's and the mother's immune systems.

Delivery

Because the immune system and the rest of the mother's systems are down with regular weed smoking, it may be difficult for the mother to give birth to the child. The longer that the woman puts up with the childbirth, the more that the body undergoes a state of stress. With increasing stress comes increasing amounts of cortisol. Prolonged exposure to cortisol can lead to decline in muscular functions needed to give birth to the child.

Lymphocytes

Regular cannabis use can lead to the production of mutant lymphocytes for the child. Lymphocytes are white blood cells that defend the body against foreign particles. If the lymphocytes are elevate within normal limits, it can lead to leukemia.

Developmental Delays

Because the brain of the infant is highly affected during the mother's continuous cannabis use, this can lead to delays in the following developmental areas:
- Physical
- Mental
- Emotional
- Communication
- Social
- Attention Span

Regular marijuana use can lead to short attention span of the infant. In the long run, this can result in impairments in various functional activities that the child needs to perform. Concerns with attention span can also lead to problems in learning new skills.

These are some of the effects of cannabis addiction during pregnancy. To avoid these, the mother is highly encouraged to seek consultation to encourage effective recovery from substance abuse.
