[|Human|] what do you know, or what can you find out about using cannibis as a pain relief during labour? obviously not smoking it, but drinking tea or ingesting it. i have read it can speed up labour, help with pain management and make everything go more smoothly. i gave up smoking and drinking compleatly when i became pregnant as i know its not good for the baby. this is my second baby and with my first labour i had all the drugs which caused failour to progress and i ended up getting a secerian after 26 hours of labour. i dont want to go through that again and have been told its safe for me to have a natural delivery this time but i dont want any of the drugs i got the first time. as iv heard cannibis can speed things up i was contemplating this as an alternitive form of pain relief ( and alternitive meaning not conventional, nothing to do with all that homeopathy noncence!) anyway, the idea is that it blocks the pain receptors and relaxes you making labour easier and has less side effects than morphine and similar drugs used during labour. iv read online from many women swearing by it, ofcourse that is not a credibal scourse and iv only been able to find a few studies done on it and they seem to be positive as long as its not smoked. so whats your medical opinion? and dont just say cannibis is bad because the government tells you to. its a well known fact cannibis has medicinal pain relieving properties and is safer than alcohol and tobacco.
[|AI|]  Hello, Cannabis is still under a lot of scrutiny and there is a lot of mixed information out there about it.  There are some things that are clearly bad for you in pregnancy like cigarettes and then most other things are not as clear.  I don't think there are any great studies that say cannabis is safe or dangerous in pregnancy.  The big issue here above all else is that cannabis has not been widely accepted by society so using it during labor or pregnancy can lead to child social service issues.  I am not sure what country you live in but in the US you would end up with a visit from a social worker.  This is a purely legal and social issue but medically/health-wise It's hard to say if it's safe.  I think there are probably things that are a lot worse but I don't think anyone is going to feel comfortable recommending it for pain relief in this setting until more research has been done. Take care, Chat Doctor.
