The widespread availability of hemp products should not go hand in hand with their widespread use by different audiences. As with some herbs, hemp products should not be consumed under certain circumstances. Is pregnancy and lactation one of them? How do the cannabinoids available in the plant (CBD and THC) affect the developing fetus in a woman’s womb? For more information, see the rest of this article.<\/p>\n

Hemp is a plant that contains various types of compounds that influence the biochemistry of the human body. One group of such substances are cannabinoids – abundantly available in hemp inflorescences. They are the same as naturally occurring endocannabinoids in the human body and work in a similar way. They do so via CB1 and CB2 receptors that are part of the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a key role in various vital processes. Among other things, it regulates immune function, nervous system function and hormone levels, thereby affecting mood, body thermics or reproduction. ECS is involved in fertilization, cell transport in the fallopian tubes, implantation, embryo development, and immune regulation during pregnancy. As we know, the proper functioning of the endocannabinoid system is influenced by many elements, including the production of endocannabinoids, which affect our fertility. It turns out that phytocannabinoids – compounds extracted from the cannabis plant – can interfere with certain biochemical processes, even though they have an identical structure to the cannabinoids produced by our body. One case in which this can occur is pregnancy.<\/p>\n
