A Space For Girlz

Every mother to be is greatly concerned with the health and well being of her unborn child. For most mothers their children are born perfectly fine because they are considered low risk pregnancies to begin with or they took the necessary steps to achieve a healthy pregnancy. Pregnancy health issues are different for each woman; some suffer from diabetes or high blood pressure, which are easily treatable. However, a mother to be who is addicted to smoking faces a more challenging journey through her pregnancy. The health of her child is entirely up to her, there is nothing a doctor can do to protect the health of that child. Even tobacco companies warn mothers to be against smoking, which says a lot coming from companies that unapologetically sell a product that harms the health of a variety of individuals – yet, they understand the damage that can be done, in particular to an infant. Read on to learn the risks of smoking during pregnancy and the effects it can have on an unborn child.

Warning and Risks of smoking While Pregnant

Before you become pregnant you should be aware of the risks of smoking and pregnancy. Some individuals have trouble conceiving as a result of smoking, and the effectiveness of fertility treatments is greatly lowered. Consider the impact smoking has on your unborn child once they are conceived:

- When you smoke your baby smokes – smoking pollutes your baby’s environment (your womb) and limits their intake of necessary nutrients and access to oxygen

- If you continue smoking you may never quit and your child will be at risk of health issues after birth due to exposure to second hand smoke

- Smoking increases your chances of miscarriage, premature delivery or still birth

- Certain methods of smoking cessation can still be harmful to the fetus

Smokers who cut back on cigarettes have a tendency to smoke each cigarette harder. The reason is that the smokers bodies are accustomed to a certain level of nicotine. When smokers reduce their daily cigarette intake, they often take longer and deeper puffs on their remaining cigarettes. The result is that the smokers get the same amount of nicotine and other toxins, despite smoking fewer cigarettes.

Quitting Smoking

Some smokers who are also mothers to be are under the misconception that smoking fewer cigarettes will lower the risk of their baby developing health issues as a result of their smoking. However, cutting back on smoking is still smoking and the unborn child is still living in a tainted environment. Therefore they can still fall victim to the damaging effects of smoking. The only way to ensure the health of an unborn child is to quit smoking altogether during pregnancy.

Smokers should ideally stop smoking. However, if they can’t stop, then smoking reduction should be considered. Smokers may benefit from a helpful smoking reduction aid
