Walking away from weed: exercise program aims to protect pregnant women and babies

This study tested whether a 12-week lifestyle physical activity program could help pregnant women who are at risk for using cannabis cut back or stop. Sixteen women who used cannabis at least once a week before pregnancy and had mild depression or anxiety took part. They wore a Fitbit tracker and received guidance to increase their daily activity. The researchers measured cannabis use, physical activity, mood, and confidence in staying away from cannabis.
