[11][12] Her work, published in JAMA in 2023,[13] showed that continued marijuana use throughout pregnancy increases the risk of low birth weight.
[14][15] Marijuana use is also associated with an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the birthing patient such as pre-eclampsia.
[17] Metz has found that pregnant women who contract COVID-19 are at a significantly higher risk of mortality and of highly morbid conditions such as postpartum hemorrhage and severely elevated blood pressure.
