Smoking Limits Your Baby’s Chances

A mother knows when her baby needs something, even if the baby has not been born yet. Mothers only want what is considered best for their baby. If you choose to smoke, this is damaging your baby’s chances of survival. Not only that, but it is also putting your baby at risk for complications such as stunted growth or even worse, a condition known as sudden infant death syndrome. This syndrome almost always happens to babies whose mothers smoked throughout the pregnancy. Another condition that could arise is a problem with the babies weight. You may think that this is not a problem and that it would easier to give birth to a smaller baby, but this is not necessarily a good thing. It could easily mean that your baby is underweight and, most likely, will not be able to survive because it is also underdeveloped due to the mothers’ smoking.
