Smoking during Pregnancy

   If you smoke during pregnancy you expose your child to harmful substances every time you smoke. Substances such as tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide are exposed to your child and may harm your growing baby for life. Your baby may have symptoms like constricted blood vessels, less oxygen intake, and less nutrient intake too. Not only do you harm your baby when you smoke during pregnancy, you are also harming yourself. Vaginal bleeding, a still-birth and an ectopic pregnancy may occur. (Ectopic pregnancies stop the fetus from developing and will usually end up causing a miscarriage killing your baby.)
