Study Notes
Effects of Smoking During Pregnancy
-
Nicotine Impact
- Constricts blood vessels, reducing blood flow to the uterus
- Leads to abnormal growth of the placenta
-
Carbon Monoxide Effects
- Displaces oxygen in red blood cells (RBCs)
- Causes central nervous system (CNS) damage
- Slows overall body growth of the fetus
Risks for Infants
- Increased likelihood of low birth weight
- Higher chance of placental complications
- Risk of preterm delivery
- Greater risk of stillbirth
- Association with sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
- Potential for various birth defects
