What are te effect of smoking on pregnancy and the baby after birth? -

My girlfriend is 3 month pregnant but cvould not stop smoking so i like to know what danger this could bring to the pregnancy and the baby after birth.The baby could have a low birth weight. Also as a child it could have asthma, bronchitis, and a higher susceptibility to other bronchial diseases. Also ear infections are more common in children whos mother smoked and continue to smoke after birth. The baby will usually need tubes in their ears to help with the infections.Smoking during pregnancy restricts blood vessels leading to less oxygen available to the baby. Smoking can cause low birth weight babies and can lead to premature births. Low birth weight babies and premature babies have an increase risk for health-related problems at birth.It′s quite easy: nicotine has the same effects on the baby than in adults. And it′s more dangerous since the baby is forming. It could affect his or her growing.

How much does giving up smoking improve sperm count and motility? been trying for a baby for 3 years x? -

would like to know in percentage if possible as he had very low count and motility and has recently stopped smoking i know it takes 3 months to make a difference i just wondered how much of a differenceHi IJT,
As a couple who wish to conceive a child, making decision to start trying for a baby is a very exciting time. Unfortunately, for some people it-s not that easy to conceive a child. Most of them are having problem while doing the process. One of the most common causes for this problem is that the male has a problem with low sperm count.

You see,men that smoke are vulnerable to antioxidant depletion. Antioxidant such as beta carotene, vitamin E and vitamin C are very important to increase your sperm count. They can protect your sperm from oxidation and they can increase the concentration and motility of the sperm. Therefore,if you had recently stopped smoking,that-s good.

More on it on the source article.

Some of the many causes that lower sperm count.

They-re has been many studies that disprove the smoking lowering sperm count, it-s still a continuous argument. Same with Marijuana, which only lowers your sperm count when smoking the seeds of the plant.

Cover all your bases.I had a friend that her husband quit smoking for 6 MONTHS before they tried conceiving and they were successful. But before that they tried several times and were unable to do it. Sorry I don-t know percentage I will try and find some facts and come back with another answer.

Take a look at this:

Im using the first step (the strongest) in NiQuitin CQ Clear patches to help me stop smoking. You are advised to use the patch for 24 hours and then replace it. I-m wondering if the strength of it wears off after a few hours or does it continue to distribute the same amount of nicotine into your blood stream each hour?
