Pregnant women in North America are using cannabidiol (CBD) at nearly double the rate of nonpregnant women, according to a study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology. The study highlights the need for healthcare providers to be aware of this high rate of CBD use during pregnancy, especially as the legal use of cannabis is increasing faster than evidence on its effects on offspring. The study also found that CBD-only products, which are often marketed as supplements, were particularly concerning. The top reasons for CBD use among pregnant women were anxiety, depression, and pain. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends against prescribing cannabis products for pregnant or lactating women. [Extracted from the article]

The Prince George's County Council has approved the construction of eight new schools in Prince George's County, Maryland, which will replace 14 outdated schools and add approximately 8,000 seats. The construction is part of a public-private partnership, with the state investing over $800 million and the county paying off the remaining balance over the next 30 years. The approval was met with some concerns about the cost and location of the schools, as all but one of the planned schools are in the northern part of the county.

Rural hospitals in Iowa and across the United States are facing closures of their labor and delivery units due to declining birth numbers. At least 41 Iowa hospitals have closed their units since 2000, representing about a third of all Iowa hospitals. Similar trends are occurring nationwide, with over half of rural US hospitals lacking these services. The decline in births is attributed to factors such as modern birth control methods, young adults moving away from small towns, and a cultural shift towards smaller families. The closures pose challenges for pregnant women who lack reliable transportation and flexible schedules for prenatal care and birthing services. The decline in births has also led to safety concerns for obstetrics units, as a study found that women giving birth in rural hospitals with fewer than 110 births a year were more likely to experience serious complications. While some hospitals have managed to keep their units open by pulling in patients from surrounding areas, the closures can create a vicious cycle by discouraging young people from moving to the area and further driving down birth numbers. The article emphasizes the need for improved training and coordination among rural health providers and highlights the importance of maintaining quality care for pregnant women and their babies.

Preconception and prenatal care for women with chronic health conditions can be more complex, but research shows that managing diseases and adopting a healthier lifestyle can improve outcomes for both mothers and infants. For women with diabetes, it is important to achieve glycemic control before pregnancy to reduce the risk of birth defects. Women with lupus should aim to conceive during a period of remission and work closely with their doctors to adjust medications. Additionally, lifestyle interventions for women with obesity before and during pregnancy can reduce the adverse impact on the heart and blood vessels of their infants. [Extracted from the article]
