Can I still have a baby if I keep smoking and get pregnant?

Smoking is a habit that many people have. Not only men have the habit of smoking, but nowadays many women also start smoking. Of course, smoking still has certain effects on women, especially on the health of their reproductive system. So, if you have a habit of smoking but you are pregnant, can you still keep the child? This will be introduced below!

1. Can I keep the baby if I get pregnant while smoking?

1. If the mother smokes and drinks, it is definitely not good for the child, but the pregnancy can be continued and the child's development can be observed. There should not be any major problems. I wish you good health and pregnancy. During pregnancy, quit smoking and drinking, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid contact with toxic environments and animals such as cats and dogs, use medications with caution, keep warm, avoid colds, and pay attention to folic acid supplementation in the early three months of pregnancy and the first three months of pregnancy.

2. You can have a child, but you must do a good job of fetal anomaly examination during pregnancy, take folic acid orally for three months before and after pregnancy, maintain a happy mood, arrange a reasonable diet and stay away from radiation. If you continue smoking while preparing for pregnancy and do not stop on the day of having sex, then in this case, it is possible that the fetus will be deformed, but the possibility is relatively small. It is recommended that if the fetus is precious, you can continue to keep the child and conduct regular prenatal checkups. If any abnormalities are found, terminate the pregnancy in time.

2. The impact of smoking on the fetus

1. Male smokers will cause a decrease in sperm count and weakened sperm motility, making it difficult for women to conceive. And the more cigarettes you smoke, the greater the chance of sperm deformity.

2. For female smokers, the harmful substances in cigarettes will directly invade the placenta, damage its function, and reduce the secretion of progesterone in the body. Therefore, the incidence of miscarriage is much higher than that of non-smokers.

3. Pregnant women who actively or passively smoke during pregnancy have three or four times the chance of stillbirth than non-smoking pregnant women.

4. As harmful substances in cigarettes enter the mother's blood, it will cause a decrease in blood oxygen content. The fetus is prone to growth retardation due to lack of oxygen in the womb, and the birth weight will be lower than normal.

5. In addition to affecting their physical development, the intelligence of these children will also be affected to a certain extent, and their comprehension and memory will decline.

6. For a fetus with a history of smoking in the mother's womb, the risk of developing deformities such as cleft lip, cardiovascular disease, urinary system diseases, etc. is quite high.

3. What to do if you get pregnant by smoking

First of all, pregnant women need to stop smoking immediately. After discovering that you are pregnant, pregnant women need to stop smoking immediately, because continued smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth. In addition, even if the fetus is not affected and is born safely, the baby's chance of becoming addicted to smoking after adulthood will be higher than that of ordinary people.

Secondly, pay attention to prenatal check-ups. After confirming pregnancy, pregnant women should go to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up in time so that the doctor can check the development of the gestational sac. If the gestational sac develops normally, then the pregnant woman only needs to rest assured and take care of the fetus, and pay attention to the four-dimensional examination and Down syndrome screening in the subsequent prenatal check-ups, so that she can check in time whether the fetus has developmental abnormalities due to the pregnant woman's smoking. If a pregnant woman has discovered a problem with the gestational sac during the examination, she needs to follow the doctor's advice to minimize the damage.

Finally, be aware of the taboos during pregnancy and take care of your fetus with peace of mind. If the pregnant woman has determined after a detailed examination that the fetus is not affected by smoking, then the pregnant woman must be careful not to take medicine casually, not to eat too sour, spicy, oily or caffeinated foods, and not to engage in strenuous exercise, so as to avoid affecting the development of the fetus due to bad behavior.
