I kept smoking from the time I was pregnant until I was about to give birth

When a woman is pregnant, she should consider the baby's health and during this period, any lifestyle habits that are harmful to the baby should be abandoned. Smoking is a behavior that is extremely harmful to the normal human body, and women should avoid smoking during pregnancy. Otherwise, smoking will have a great impact on the baby in the belly, but what will be the consequences if you continue to smoke from pregnancy to the time when you are about to give birth?

How does smoking during pregnancy affect the baby?

1. For female smokers, the harmful substances in cigarettes will directly invade the placenta, damage its function, and reduce the secretion of progesterone in the body. Therefore, the incidence of miscarriage is much higher than that of non-smokers.

2. Pregnant women who actively or passively smoke during pregnancy have three or four times the chance of stillbirth than non-smoking pregnant women.

3. As harmful substances in cigarettes enter the mother's blood, it will cause a decrease in blood oxygen content. The fetus is prone to growth retardation due to lack of oxygen in the womb, and the birth weight will be lower than normal.

How pregnant women can avoid the harm of smoking during pregnancy

Please ask your family members not to smoke at home, and also ask guests who come to visit not to smoke. If there is really no way to avoid situations where people smoke, pregnant women should sit in a well-ventilated place and try to breathe fresh air.

Pregnant women should not only avoid smoking themselves, but also avoid smoke-contaminated environments to prevent passive smoking. If you are at work, you can ask your colleagues who smoke to understand your situation and try not to smoke in the same space with you.
