Good Lifestyle

Tobacco contains dangerous chemicals such as nicotine, carbon monoxide and darkness that are harmful to health. In particular, passive smoke is also the leading carcinogen today. Therefore, if women are intending to get pregnant or in pregnancy without smoking, they will face the following 6 risks.

Hard -to -get pregnant

Smoking makes it difficult for both men and women to become pregnant. In men, smoking is the cause of reducing libido, increasing the risk of impotence by 27% and reducing sperm quality. Meanwhile, women smoking will face menstrual cycle disorders, hormonal changes, double the average time to conceive and reduce 1/3 of fertility.

Ectopic pregnancy

According to a study published in the PLOS One magazine, nicotine in cigarettes can cause contractions in the fallopian tubes, thereby preventing embryos from moving to nest in the uterus. This may be the cause of women who smoke ectopic pregnancy because the embryo can form in the fallopian tube or in the abdomen. During ectopic pregnancy, the embryo must be removed to avoid dangerous complications to the mother's life.

Miscarriage, fetus

According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, women who smoke will increase the likelihood of early miscarriage and the fetus is stored in the period of 12 to 20 weeks of pregnancy. Specifically, carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke can cause the fetus to develop without enough oxygen. Tobacco smoke also contains other chemicals harmful to the fetus, causing the fetus to grow slowly. Even a study in the US shows that, even if pregnant women smoke passive cigarettes, their likelihood of miscarriage is still high. In particular, the risk of miscarriage for the first 6 weeks in women with husbands smokes over 20 cigarettes per day up to 80%.

Prematurely, premature birth

Not only causing the fetus to stay, mothers smoking also faced the situation of premature peeling. This is the condition of the placenta from the uterus before giving birth. Currently, the medical community has not been able to overcome the situation of premature peeling, whether it is by surgical or treatment methods. This condition can cause serious bleeding and especially threatening the life of both mother and child.

At the same time, children whose pregnant women smoke will also be able to be born earlier than 37 weeks. Premature babies can face many health risks such as visual impairment and hearing impairment, mental disabilities, even dangerous complications leading to death.

Low birth weight

According to experts, newborns whose mothers often breathe smoke during pregnancy often weighs less than 2.5 kg. A study in the US shows that, in the five newborns born from smoking women, a child is underweight. Babies with lighter weight are still growing up to normal but they can face many health problems such as developmental delay, cerebral palsy, hearing or vision, etc. Even if after birth, babies continue to breathe in tobacco smoke from the mother, there will be a risk of leukemia, brain cancer and lymphoma from an early age.

Birth defects, sudden death

Nicotine and carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke can cause blood vessel stenosis at the umbilical cord of the woman, making it difficult for the fetus to receive oxygen and blood from the mother. This can seriously affect the physical and brain of the child after birth. According to researchers, if pregnant women are smokers or inhalation of cigarette smoke too much, the risk of birth defects in babies will increase by 2/3 times. One of the common defects in infants with mothers smoking is chipped, cleft palate.

Notably, both newborns are exposed to smoke after birth and babies with mothers smoking during pregnancy are at risk of sudden death syndrome in newborns. . This syndrome can cause non -warning deaths, often occurring while sleeping in children under 1 year of age, an obsession of many parents today.
