Smoking is a leading cause of death around the world. It causes cancer, lung disorders, cardiovascular diseases and various other disorders and fatal diseases. Yet despite the facts about the significant health risks associated with smoking, millions of people continue to do so. What’s even worse, is a soon to be mother putting not only their own life at risk, but also that of their unborn child.

Currently, in the United States alone, about ten percent of pregnant mothers smoke during their pregnancies. This is an alarming statistic, considering that cigarettes contain over 2500 chemicals, and scientists are still unable to put their finger on what all of those chemicals do to the human body. However, it is known that carbon monoxide and nicotine do in fact harm an unborn child, as well as the pregnant mother.

Harmful Effects Of Smoking To The Unborn Baby

While not all the effects of smoking during pregnancy are known, quite a few are. Below is a list of known side effects that may harm an unborn child if their mother smokes during pregnancy.

• The baby is more likely to be born underweight.
• More likely to be born with birth defects, such as cerebral palsy.
• The baby is nearly three times more likely to die of sudden infant death syndrome, than a baby born to a non-smoking mother.
• The baby suffers from withdrawal symptoms once it is born.
• The baby struggles for breath in the womb.
• Babies being carried by smoking mothers are more likely to die in the womb. This is called fetal death.
• Babies are more likely to be stillborn.

As you can see from the list above, most of the possible known side effects are either fatal or severely life altering. A smoking mother risks her life, and the life of her unborn baby.

Smoking deprives the unborn baby of the oxygen it needs to grow in the womb, causing it to be born smaller and more vulnerable to disease and death. Why put your baby at risk? The least a soon-to-be-mom can do is quit smoking while they are carrying the baby, to ensure that it has the best possible chance to grow and develop.
