I can not understand how knowing the harm of smoking during pregnancy there are still women who do. I go with another argument to see if this time I convince someone.
A study conducted in Holland and presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association in Orlando indicates that Smoking during pregnancy could cause permanent damage to the developing arteries of the baby.
Scientists already knew that exposure to tobacco smoke during pregnancy is one of the factors that promote low birth weight, but they also wanted to investigate whether smoking during pregnancy also increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
They found that the adult children of the women who had smoked had the walls of the two main arteries of the neck thicker than the adult children of the women who had not.
This means that they have many ballots acquired for cardiovascular disease, including stroke.
Dr. Cuno S. Uiterwaal, in charge of the research, said that "it is possible that the chemicals in tobacco smoke go through the placenta and directly damage the heart and vascular system of the developing fetus."
It only remains for me to tell mothers to stop smoking, unless they do not do it for them, to do it for their babies, that it is not their fault to have a mother addicted to tobacco.
