There is no point asking such question. Smoking during pregnancy is stictly prohibited. If a woman smoke during pregnancy, it would harm the baby. Smoking also affects a woman fertility,

Approximately 30 per cent of women who smoke in Britain continue to smoke during pregnancy. Cigarettes affect the mothers' circulation, which in turn will affect the baby. The baby in the womb is totally relying on mother to supply oxygen, nourish and filter out any dangerous chemicals.o " The placenta (afterbirth) is the lifeline between mother and baby. When a pregnant woman smokes, oxygen in her blood is replaced by carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, which robs muscles, brain and body tissues of oxygen making the baby's heart work harder. If the baby is deprived of oxygen it will suffer from its effects, which is known as hypoxia. The affect of hypoxia happens over a long period of time. The most immediate affect for the baby is his/her movements inside the womb slow down and heart rate speeds up as the baby tries to get more oxygen. There is a reduction in baby movements for up to thirty minutes after the mother has smoked a single cigarette.

Women who smoke have a greater chance of loosing the baby than the women who do not smoke. Many experts recommend that woman should stop smoking before, during and after pregnancy. A woman who continues smoking after pregnancy can pass nicotine to her baby through breast-feeding.On the positive side, pregnancy is a great time to quit smoking. At least think of your unborn child who may have to suffer serious illness due to your smoking habits.

Smoking is perhaps one of the most dangerous habits a woman can engage in during pregnancy. Smoking during pregnancy can lead to many different complications and serious health problems for your newborn baby.

Many harmful effects have been associated with smoking. The nicotine and carbon monoxide found in cigarette smoke for example has been associated with many adverse pregnancy outcomes including:

* Low Birth Weight Babies
* Preterm Delivery
* Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM)
* Placental abnormalities/problems
* Increased risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
