Smoking while pregnant increases the risk of developing heart defects in unborn child

Smoking is bad for let alone smoking during a pregnancy. New studies show the risk of developing heart disease in unborn child is not only horrific but also can be avoided.

Smoking increases the risk of heart defects among babies whose mothers smoke during the first trimester.

An Utah researcher has found women who had babies with certain heart defects were more likely to have smoked in early pregnancy.


The risk of birth defects is highest for women who smoked more than 25 cigarettes a day.

It is no wonder that we have more children born of diseases then ever in the history of mankind. Yet we continue creating new humans that will end up in medical ques looking for a doctor to cure them and all along a life full of agony could have been avoided only if the the mother of the person was sensible enough to look after herself and her unborn child during and directly after pregnancy.
