Good evening,friends.Today i'll try to explain the effects of smoking on pregnancy.smoking,in general is very damaging to the body,in the context of pregnancy it's even more dangerous.SMOKING EFFECTS BOTH THE MOTHER & THE BABY.Smoking disturbs the placental function & reduce the supply of oxygen to the baby within the womb,as the baby depends for all nutritious supplies on the mother.
Smoking reduces the fertility in both women & men.In women it may cause a delay in conception.In men ,it reduces the the sperm count,volume of semen,sperm motility thus impairing fertility in general.
EFFECT OF SMOKING IN A PREGNANT MOTHER:Smoking may cause premature delievery,premature rupture of membrane,placental abruption etc.
EFFECT OF SMOKING ON THE BABY:Smoking has a diverse of effects on the baby like preterm delievery,low birth weight,lung problems,bronchitis in early age etc.Smoking has also been related to cot death & SIDS[sudden infant death syndrome]
Passive smoking also has a damaging effect on both mother & the baby.
So,my suggestion is both the parents should stop smoking before planning for a baby.
HOW TO STOP SMOKING:Urge to stop smoking is most important.Nicotine replacement therapy[nicotine patch] is not much preffered during pregnancy.The parents should try to stop smoking by themselves,if all attempts fail,nicotine replacement therapy may be tried but after consulting with your doctor.
