Smoking affects during pregnancy

Smoking during pregnancy accounts for an estimated 20 to 30 percent of low-birth weight babies. Let’s see below some more dangers of smoking while pregnant:

Giving birth to pre-mature baby: Smoking increases the chances of pre nature birth. Baby’s who born too early are always at risk of high infections and their organs are too not developed properly. In extreme cases babies do die also because of low birth weight.

Harm to the placenta: As we know that placenta is an organ which develops in your uterus during pregnancy. Placenta helps to fight internal infection and also produces hormones to support pregnancy.

Risk of miscarriage: Women who smoke are twice as likely to have a miscarriage as compare to non-smoking expectant mothers.
