PASSIVE SMOKING AND THE RISK OF MISCARRIAGE
Keywords:
Smoking, nicotine, non-viable pregnancy, female infertility.Abstract
Tobacco smoke and pregnancy are incompatible things, but the statistics are alarming: about 22% of women continue to be exposed to passive smoking during pregnancy, and 8.4% of them smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day. This is despite the fact that the harm of smoking to the health of the unborn child has long been known. Passive smokers are at greater risk of various complications, such as placental abruption, miscarriages, stillbirths, premature births and malformations, such as cleft lip. Nicotine, carbon monoxide, benzopyrene and other substances formed during cigarette combustion penetrate the placenta to the fetus. Moreover, the concentration of these substances in the child's body is significantly higher than in the mother. This leads to spasm of the placental vessels and, as a result, to oxygen starvation in the baby.References
