ACOG: Cannabis Harms Pregnancies. Here’s a warning from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Cannabis use, THC and CBD, during pregnancy or while breastfeeding increases your chances of delivering a baby prematurely with a low birth weight due to in-uteri growth retardation, requiring a NICU admission, and/or raising a baby with long-term neurological, cognitive, and behavioral issues. #cannabis #THC #CBD #ACOG #pregnancy #NICU #eggs #sperm

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "ACOG: Cannabis Harms Pregnancies Here’s a warning from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Cannabis use, that is products that contain THC and CBD, during pregnancy or while you’re breastfeeding increases your chances of delivering a baby prematurely with a low birth weight due to in-uteri growth retardation, requiring a NICU admission, and/or raising a baby with long-term neurological, cognitive, and behavioral issues. Cannabis also impacts you. The smoke and vapors harm lung tissues and lower your oxygen levels. It can increase your risk of falling and trigger auto accidents. By cannabis I mean smoking, vaping, or munching on cannabis products. Why the alarm? Over a recent 15 year period, cannabis use by pregnant women has more than doubled. Now that these products are legal in more states, more women are using them to relieve their pregnancy-related issues including morning sickness, headache, back pains, fatigue, and emotional distress. Your medical teams are so worried about this that ACOG has directed them to ask you about cannabis use and give you practical and safe alternatives. They will not be drug testing you but rather counseling you. They will tell you to avoid cannabis products if you can and to minimize their use if your can’t. For morning sickness: eat bland foods, keep hydrated with non-caffeinated beverages; eat dry foods such as crackers and cereal in he morning; and eat small meals every 3 hours rather than the traditional 3 meals a day. For breast pain: wear soft supportive bras and loose-fitting garments; wash your breasts gently; apply ice packs; and absorb leaking fluids with soft pads. For other body pains: find comfortable positions and change positions often; use a lumbar pillow when sitting; wear comfortable low-heeled shoes; wear support stockings; use heating pads and massage. For dizziness: move around while standing; if lying down, turn to your side as you rise; rise slowly. https://www.acog.org/news/news-releases/2025/09/acog-releases-new-recommendations-cannabis-use-pregnancy-lactation #cannabis #THC #CBD #ACOG #pregnancy #NICU #eggs #sperm"

Those small print letters stating your #OB doc or your womens’s cancer doc is a Board certified Obstetrics and Gynecology #ACOG Fellow is what you want to read after your doc’s name on the sign. #icymi

Good news! Pharmacies in Pennsylvania can start giving the #covid #vaccine!

The problem had been that state law requires that for a pharmacist to give a vaccine without a specific prescription, it has to be recommended by the ACIP or “by a competent authority”. The ACIP isn't set to meet until Sept 18.

The solution? The PA Board of Pharmacy met yesterday and voted to add the #AAFP, the #AAP, and #ACOG to their list of “competent authorities.”

“[D]espite the change in recommendations from [health and human services], the science has not changed,” the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (#ACOG) said in a statement. “It is very clear that #Covid19 infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic and lead to major disability, and it can cause devastating consequences for families.”
