Smoking and Pregnancy

Smoking and Pregnancy

IMPORTANT FACTS

 

When you smoke, your baby gets less oxygen and nutrients. This can cause your baby to grow more slowly and gain less weight in your womb. Babies with a lower-than-average birth weight tend to have more health problems. And the more you smoke, the higher the risk that your baby will have complications during the
perinatal period (just before, during and just after birth). This is  true for babies exposed to second-hand smoke too.
