Quitting smoking during pregnancy
Many future mothers who smoke, they understand that quitting smoking during pregnancy will cause psychological consequences such as anxiety or stress and under that argument still consumed snuff during pregnancy. Nevertheless the consequences for the baby may be much more severe.
It is known fact that snuff reduces the supply of oxygen to tissues, causing in turn lower levels of vitamin B12 and C and the release of the hormone oxytocin (which induces labor). This added to the antidiuretic effect that nicotine has a pregnant woman does suffer from fluid retention and suffer increased blood pressure.
The fetus, in order to compensate this deficit, consumes less oxygen and food is a baby with birth weight less than normal.
For this reason, children of smoking mothers are more likely to suffer birth defects and a variety of respiratory problems.
However, many mothers who are smokers say that quitting would cause them psychological consequences such as stress or anxiety and therefore prefer to reduce the dose of snuff and not quit during pregnancy.
It is desirable that the mother aware of the damage it can do to your child and seek a way to stop smoking as it will be the baby who will suffer the consequences of a wrong decision.
