Smokers also generally have an inadequate dietary <strong>folate<\/strong> intake due to low consumption of fruit and vegetables. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><span>Stop smoking, be happy! This is even more important during pregnancy<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>Every moment is a good one to quit smoking, but a pregnancy is just the right occasion, not only because of folic acid, but also to do something good for your health and that of the baby to come. <strong>Smoke, whether active or passive<\/strong>, can have many harmful effects that affect the mother, the fetus and the newborn. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Quitting smoking during pregnancy is the greatest gift you can give your baby (and yourself!). The dangers associated with smoking during pregnancy are significant, and carry an increased risk of <strong>premature birth, miscarriage<\/strong> and <strong>ectopic pregnancy<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Additionally, <strong>smoking can directly harm the fetus.<\/strong> You may not know this, but when you smoke, <strong>over 4,000 harmful chemicals<\/strong> are inhaled that can reach the bloodstream from the mother&#8217;s lungs. From here, they can cross the placenta and the umbilical cord and reach the fetus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The main effect is the <strong>reduction of oxygen supply<\/strong>, which is essential for the correct growth of the fetus and newborn. A reduced supply of oxygen can interfere with the proper development of the lungs. Additionally, it forces the baby&#8217;s heart to pump more frequently to make up for the lack of this essential element.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The damage caused by smoking continues even after birth. The nicotine assumed by the mother passes to the newborn through the mother&#8217;s milk, making him\/her irritable. Smoking also increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome by at least 25 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>(<em>Source: Veronesi Foundation<\/em>)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, cigarette smoking alters folate concentrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[535,532],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-folic-acid","category-pregnancy-prevention"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>DOES SMOKING INTERFERE WITH CIRCULATING FOLATE LEVELS?
