Article Synopsis
- The study examines drug use patterns among 121 women in the UK who engage in recreational drug use, particularly before and during pregnancy, revealing high levels of lifetime drug use among participants.* -
- While many women reduced the use of 'party drugs' like cocaine and MDMA during pregnancy, significant percentages continued using tobacco (46%) and cannabis (48%), with average consumption remaining high even in the third trimester.* -
- The findings suggest that although alcohol use decreases during pregnancy, tobacco and cannabis usage tends to stay consistent, providing important data for developing realistic animal models of drug use during pregnancy.*
