You've heard the bleak facts about how smoking can cut short your life span. How it's the main cause of lung cancer, and other cancers. You've also heard about how addictive smoking can be. So you can no doubt imagine the negative effects of smoking during pregnancy can have. According to most medical and health experts, as soon as you find out you're pregnant, you should stop smoking immediately. Studies prove that smoking while pregnant can increase your baby's risk of developing meningitis, asthma, oral cleft, stomach problems, sleep problems as well as attention, motor control and perception disorders.
Ok. So suppose you are well aware of how bad smoking while pregnant is but still can't stop?
Pregnant and Smoking? Below Are Some Reminders As To Why You Need To Quit!
* Being pregnant and not smoking will decrease the risks for the developing baby. If you stop early in pregnancy, the risks for disease are about the same as for women who are non-smokers.
* Kids exposed to passive or second-hand smoke are more likely to have chronic coughs, bronchitis and ear infections.
* Children born to smoking parents have less efficient lung function and are more likely to develop respiratory illnesses later in life.
