Smoking During Pregnancy: Risks and Immediate Action

Question
how soon can cig./cigar smoke effect a newly feralized woman?  my fiancee and i just found out that she is pregnant.  she was only about 10 days late for her period when we learned, so it's been about 14 days or so.  thank you for your information.

Answer
Hello Bob. She needs to stop NOW and YOU must never smoke in her presence. Every exposure to the smoke reduces the oxygen and nutrient supply to the baby by 40%. Later on, when the baby is practicing for breathing and exercising it's chest muscles, every exposure to cigarettes will paralyze this practicing for four hours. If she smokes or breathes in smoke every four hours- the baby never gets a chance to practice. Hope that helps- Cheri.
