Abstract

Background and Objective: The literature suggests that prenatal use of cannabis is associated with maternal health outcomes. However, the results are still controversial. In this sense, this review with meta-analysis aimed to critically evaluate the literature and describe the effects of prenatal exposure to cannabis on maternal health. Methods: For its development, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-analysis checklist-PRISMA was consulted. The review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42021231260). The estimate of the Odds Ratio with the respective confidence interval was calculated. Results: From the results found, the study shows that there was no association between cannabis use and anemia, membrane rupture and arterial hypertension, diabetes, duration of labor, pre/postpartum hemorrhage, nonelective cesarean section and hormone concentrations. Conclusion: No positive or negative effects of cannabis use on maternal health were observed. The authors strongly suggest a complete reading of the article.
