Nervous About Using CBD While Pregnant? Try a Topical Application!

First and foremost, let us tell you that we are not healthcare professionals. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is best to consult with your OBGYN before using products containing CBD.

Ok, now that that’s out of the way, let’s begin…

Can we all do a collective eye roll for how common it is for complete strangers to judge your actions once you’re pregnant? Drinking coffee, eating a deli sandwich, doing hot yoga all fall under this “judgey eye” category. Don’t even get us started on the occasional glass of wine… As there are close to no studies published on using CBD while pregnant, add CBD to the list. 

We could go into a whole tangent on why we believe our motto plants over pills applies even to our pregnant customers, but let’s focus on topical CBD. That means, CBD products that you apply to your skin like salves, lotions and oils. When applied topically, CBD does not enter the bloodstream, but rather binds to receptors on the skin for that specific, targeted area.

As of team of moms, we’ve used CBD to deal with:

-Stretching belly skin

-Swollen ankles and hands

-Aching backs and necks

How have you used CBD during your pregnancy? We’d love to hear from you!
