Question

What happen to your baby if smoke why your pregnant?

Answer 1

I have known people who have smoked while they are pregnant and the baby cam out fine. However, i'm sure it messes up the brain function and other issues. Even though the baby seems to be fine i'm sure there will be problems later on the the child's life.

I think growth and just the baby's overall health is an issue.

Answer 2

Smoking while pregnant puts both mother's and baby's life at risk. Currently, about 13 percent of pregnant women in the U.S. smoke during pregnancy. If all pregnant women stopped smoking while pregnant, there would be an estimated 10 percent reduction in infant deaths in this country, according to the U.S. Public Health Service. Smoking while pregnant should be a cause for concern. Cigarette smoke contains more than 2,500 chemicals, with nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide thought to be the most dangerous to the fetus.

The sooner a mother quits smoking, the better it will be for both her and her baby. If you currently smoke, it's not to late to do something about it. Quitting during the first trimester can greatly reduce the risk of having a baby with low birth weight — almost to that of a woman who doesn't smoke. The fewer cigarettes a woman smokes, the less likely her baby will be born with smoking-related problems.

Tell your doctor if you need help quitting. If you are a heavy smoker and have not been able to quit or cut down, you may be able to use a nicotine patch to help you quit while you are still pregnant. There are risks to using the patch during pregnancy, but the risk of heavy smoking may be greater.

Even if you don't smoke, be aware that your baby can be harmed by people smoking around you. Pregnant women regularly exposed to other people's smoke during pregnancy may also be at increased risk of many of the same fetal development problems.

HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS THAT ARE OFTEN ASKED ABOUT SMOKING AND PREGNANCY:

Q: Don't some mothers smoke during pregnancy and have healthy babies?

A: They are the lucky ones! If a woman smokes during pregnancy she takes a big chance with her baby's health. There is a greater chance that she will lose the baby during pregnancy. The baby could also be born too early, before the lungs are ready, so he or she will have trouble breathing.

Why take a chance when there is so much to lose?

Q: Babies often weigh less when the mother smokes. Isn't it easier to deliver a small baby?

A: It is not always easier to deliver a low-birth weight baby. And a baby that weighs too little is often sick with lots of health problems. Smaller babies are more likely to need special care and stay longer in the hospital. Some may die either at birth or within the first year.

Q: Does cigarette smoke get through to the unborn baby?

A: Yes, when the mother smokes, so does the baby. Smokers take in poisons such as nicotine and carbon monoxide (the same gas that comes out of a car's exhaust pipe). These poisons get into the placenta, which is the tissue that connects the mother and the baby before it is born.These poisons keep the unborn baby from getting the food and oxygen needed to grow.

Q: Will a woman gain extra weight if she quits smoking during pregnancy?

A: A woman needs to gain weight during pregnancy. An unborn baby depends on the mother to eat the right foods. So, if she stays away from junk foods and sweets, the mother's weight gain will be fine. And she needs to exercise. Her doctor can help her plan how to keep active; brisk walking is good for most women.

Even if a pregnant woman gains a few extra pounds, she can lose it after the baby's born. And speaking of how she looks, the woman can think about how smoking stains her teeth and fingers. It makes her clothes and her breath smell bad. And smoking may even add more skin wrinkles.

Q: How about cutting down on cigarettes rather than quitting for good?

A: The only way to really protect your unborn baby is to quit. Cutting down is better than doing nothing but it may not make things much better for the baby.

If a pregnant woman cuts down or switches to low-tar cigarettes, she must be careful not to inhale more deeply or take more puffs to get the same amount of nicotine as before.

Q: Does it matter when the pregnant woman quits smoking?

A: The best time to quit is when the woman thinks she will get pregnant in the near future. If she does quit, her baby will probably weigh the same as the baby of a woman who has never smoked. Or if she quits within the first three or four months of her pregnancy she can lower her baby's chance of being born too small and with lots of health problems.

Many women are able to quit during pregnancy. It is easier than other times when they tried to quit. They can quit now for their babies as well as for themselves.

If the woman feels sick in the first couple of months, cigarettes may taste bad, and so it is easier to quit.

Even if a woman quits at the end of her pregnancy, she can help her baby get more oxygen and have a better chance of making it. It's never too late to quit, but the earlier the better for both the mother and her baby!

Q: What about other people smoking around the pregnant woman?

A: New studies show that if a woman's partner smokes near her during her pregnancy, there are added risks. She has a greater chance of having a baby that weighs too little and may have health problems.

So, a pregnant woman should ask her partner, and other people as well, not to smoke near her.

Q: Does quitting smoking provide benefits for the woman as well as for her baby?

A: Pregnancy is a great time for a woman to quit. No matter how long she has been smoking, her body benefits from quitting. She will feel better and have more energy to go through the pregnancy and to care for her new baby.

Of course, she will also avoid many of the future health risks of smoking such as heart disease, cancer and other lung problems. AND she will save money that she can spend on herself and her new baby.

Q: If a woman quits smoking during pregnancy, will she have a hard time handling the stress?

A: She can learn to relax in other ways that are much better for her and the unborn baby. When she feels tense, she can take some deep breaths or chew sugarless gum. She can also do something with her hands like sew something for the baby or call a friend.

These are safer ways to handle stress. She can also remind herself that smoking will not make things any better.

Q: If a mother who smokes breast feeds her baby, does the nicotine get into her milk?

A: Breast feeding is a good way to feed a new baby but smoking may cause problems. Nicotine is a poison in cigarettes. So if the mother smokes, the baby drinks the poison in her breast milk.

Q: Are there any long-term harmful effects on the baby  

Answer 11

The baby will taste like an ashtray if licked under the armpits.

Answer 12

I've heard it is extremely damaging for the child's brain and can cause long term and even permanent disorders, not just mental but physical as well. Not a good idea if you value the welfare for your little one.....!!!!

Smoking messes up your blood vessels, including the ones supplying the placenta.  So, less oxygen to the baby.  Oxygen is the fuel, so EVERYTHING is less developed, including the brain, and everything...

Answer 25

my mom smoked with me and i am normal or so im told....

Answer 26

a. Risk of spontaneous miscarriage in early pregnancy is 2 times higher compared to the non-smokers. This may result partly from an increased number of abnormal embryos, with which smoking is associated.

b. Risk of preterm labour and prematurity of baby.

c. Risk of birth defects. Most studies show a relatively higher risk for babies of smoking mothers.

d. Increased risk of abruptio placentae. This is a serious condition where the placenta separates itself prematurely from the uterus before birth, causing abdominal pain and bleeding from the v****a. This condition can lead to danger and even death for both mother and child.

e. Delayed physical and intellectual development in the child.

f. Adverse effects on maternal health e.g. an increased risk of cancer; gut, heart and lung diseases.

g. Possible risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Answer 29

Affects the babys' nervous system and brain ..can  also have other side effects ! But it wont be evident in all cases..

Answer 30

just dont do it

Answer 31

I'm a smoker and I wouldn't do it.

Basically, the carbon monoxide takes the place of Oxygen in your blood stream and the tar again blacks your lungs from being able to give your blood oxygen. Also, the tar slowly poisons blood.

As adults, we can handle the pressure- but eve then, we sometimes die because of it. Imagine a baby - being made, without Oxygen.

The lack of Oxygen can cut down on serious brain cells and there's a high chance that the kid'll be disabled in some way or the other.

Talk to a doctor if you can about it. Also, if you're pregnant and have smoked, that doesn't mean you might as well smoke some more.
