What Is Happening At 5 Weeks Pregnant
Smoking Before or During Pregnancy


If you are a smoker and are thinking of becoming pregnant, the first step you must take is to
stop smoking. If you're like most smokers, you may have thought of or tried to quit before.

about your health but the health of your unborn child. Smoke can effect both child
development and future growth.

baby’s bloodstream with every puff of a cigarette. Nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide are the
most dangerous and toxic to the fetus, affecting the most critical stages of development,

embryo is implanted in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus. When this happens,
medication must be taken to remove the embryo or in the worst case, the tube is removed
surgically. Smoking can also increase the risk of stillbirth, miscarriage and vaginal bleeding,
which is sometimes severe enough to harm the child.

Smoking during pregnancy can make the child develop more slowly, What Is Happening At
5 Weeks Pregnant increasing the risk of low birth weight and the risk of preterm birth (the
baby is delivered before 37 weeks of gestation) by 30%. You may also see an abnormalitiy
such as cleft lip, cleft palate or other congenital defects. Also, infants born to smoking
mothers are more likely to die from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), and can have a
higher probability of developing asthma, behavioral problems and learning disabilities due
to the slowdown in growth development.
