Quitting smoking when pregnant is the most important health step an expectant mother can take to protect and enhance the current and future health of her baby.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing what happens if you smoke while pregnant doesn\u2019t help a mother quit smoking. Scare tactics, guilt, and shaming simply don\u2019t work. They are negative, unkind, and unfair elements that fail to recognize the expectant mother as a victim of addiction. It\u2019s simply not good enough to say, \u201cCan\u2019t you at least do it for the baby?\u201d. If only getting rid of an addiction was so simple.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"button blue hvr\" href=\"#side\">Read Side Effects of Smoking while pregnant<\/a><a

The effects of smoking or vaping on the unborn child are very serious and no-one will feel worse about this than the mother herself. Expectant mothers who smoke should be given special understanding and care and not made to feel guilty for being entrapped and enslaved by one of the most addictive drugs on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>The side effects of smoking while pregnant are distressing to review. Aside from the high risk of smoking causing miscarriage and stillbirth, it lowers the amount of oxygen available to the mother and the growing baby. The baby\u2019s heart rate increases unhealthily, as does the risk of premature birth and the risk of the baby being born with a low birth rate. The baby\u2019s risk of developing respiratory problems, birth defects, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) are also increased many times over.<\/p>\n<p>Cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemicals as well as releasing harmful gases such as carbon monoxide and vaping contains many chemicals all of which can be passed to the unborn baby. These can lead to the following risks and issues:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anytime<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Miscarriage<\/li>\n<li>Preterm birth (Baby is born too early with health issues such as breathing difficulties, digestion issues and bleeding in their brains)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Immediate<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ectopic pregnancy (The embryo attaches outside the uterus and usually leads to a miscarriage.

(The precentor separates early from the uterus causing bleeding in the mother, dangerously low blood pressure and lower oxygen and food to the baby)<\/li>\n<li>Placenta previa<a href=\"#ref\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/a> (The baby\u2019s placenta covers the mother cervix leading to severe bleeding during pregnancy and delivery)<\/li>\n<li>Pre-eclampsia (The mother has high blood pressure and swollen feet, legs and hands which can lead to premature birth)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>After 24 weeks<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stillbirth (Baby dies before she or he is born)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Post Birth<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Underweight baby (Higher risk which can lead to issues keeping warm and increased risk of infection)<\/li>\n<li>Cot death (At least

The effects of smoking or vaping on the unborn child are very serious and no-one will feel worse about this than the mother herself. Expectant mothers who smoke should be given special understanding and care and not made to feel guilty for being entrapped and enslaved by one of the most addictive drugs on the planet.<\/p>\n<p>Smoking during early pregnancy is extremely difficult to avoid if the mother is unaware that she is pregnant. When a pregnancy is planned it is best to quit smoking in advance of conception.<a name=\"how\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n
