Effects of smoking on Pregnant women

Many researchers in the medical field have observed that the effect of smoking on pregnant ladies is very dangerous. The effect is on development of intrauterine. Those women who smoke stand high chance of this. Nicotine and other ingredients of tobacco cannot be stopped by the placental barrier, thus risking the very development of child in the womb.

Studies show that those women who smoke, tend to give birth to babies who have lower size and weight. Proven studies show that those women who smoke during the prenatal phase, tend to cause great effect on the intellectual development of the baby. The comparision was done between children of age 4 to 5 as well as 6 to 7. In all, 40 children were put on this study, with both kinds of samples, mothers who smoked and mothers who dint smoke. They were tested on Wechsler scale. The result showed that cultural and social development was same, but intellectual development had huge difference. Those children whose mothers did not smoke had 22 IQ points more than those children whose mothers smoked.

Thus, its imperative that pregnant ladies simply quit smoking before they cause harmful effect on a life which is growing inside them!
