Pregnant and Smoking

As we know, one of the very adverse consequences of smoking is a disorder of pregnancy and the failure of the fetus. Consequences of smoking for pregnant women has been distributed by the government, including the tobacco products concerned. This sometimes does not affect the pregnant woman's intention to smoke, because they themselves feel no connection between cigarette smoke in pregnancy.

It is completely wrong. A researcher from Providence Hospital, Michigan stating that smoking is the number one cause of the birth of infants with adverse conditions, such as premature birth, babies are born too ketch or a baby dies before birth. This proves that if a pregnant woman desperate smoke, then there will be no that can protect the baby from harm.

Well, how can the cigarettes are so dangerous to the pregnancy and cause problems such as failure of pregnancy the fetus? It started from cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke contains various chemicals that are dangerous, more than about four thousand of them cyanide, nicotine, carbon monoxide and 60 pieces of cancer-causing compounds. If a pregnant woman smokes, then all the chemicals will flow in the blood and to the fetus. While the four thousand chemicals that no one is good for the baby, then what happens is the baby will be contaminated with hazardous chemicals even before it grows.

Nicotine and carbon monoxide can result in fetal disorders because it can reduce the supply of oxygen through the umbilical cord. Nicotine works like cholesterol menyebabkab narrowing of blood vessels of pregnant women and clog the flow of oxygen around the blood vessels including the umbilical cord. The situation would worsen because of the red blood cells that carries oxygen in the end could also bring a molecule of carbon monoxide and distribute it to the fetus.

As with adult humans, the lack of oxygen can have a bad influence on infant growth, plus the consumption of excessive carbon monoxide. The result is that babies have a late development, damage to one organ or the most serious is the failure of the fetus or death.

If the baby is contaminated chemicals cigarettes successful birth, there will be abnormalities in the development of the body in terms of weight and size, body organs like the lungs are not functioning optimally and underdeveloped brain function.

All this of course was terrible. When an unborn baby are already suffering because of the mother's lifestyle is less healthy, this is already showing a lack of public awareness of the dangers of smoking. The same result can also be experienced horrible babies conceived by women who did not smoke, but secondhand smoke. For that, if you are pregnant then put away from cigarettes and smoke.
