Michael Dahan is the lead researcher and author of this study; he says that “the whole team had examined the smoking effects during pregnancy period where more than 9 million birth deliveries in the United States happened”

These analyses were examined from the data over 11 years which is later considered as a larger study to date. The research team had taken cases of several females who are in this phase and checked their habits with the development of fetuses and other health standards. Their research has shown the overall damage that one may have to face due to smoking while pregnant.

Researchers had questioned themselves for setting an answer about their research, one of them stated that “smoking is considered as one of the important risk factors which can be modified for the health purpose”. It is possible for one to stop smoking at this stage and improve her health in the interest of the baby.

Many women smoke during pregnancy and this creates a thought that it can increase many problems and risks widely. According to this research, many studies of data are taken which is relatively small but useful and looking around the smokers in many cases.

This study examines the pregnant smokers which had delivered an outcome with 443,590 smokers as well as 8,653,198 non-smokers. This data is set out for the study effects of smoking among the larger population by placing the smaller study findings for the test.

Researchers had found many things from this data and study, the team states that “we found pregnant mothers who are smoking and increased with 40 percent risk and premature births” where already 50 percent of the risk is increased during rupturing of amniotic sac around the fetus before the labor pain begins.

Substantially, this research is under 130 percent of increased risk who are having a baby which is very small for considering it as it’s still in the developmental stage.

Researchers say that they were surprised and also discovered many things about mild smoking which had gradually decreased specific pregnancy risks which includes the development of preeclampsia.

On this note, it can lead to severe infections inside the uterus and can cause bleeding which hardly requires the cesarian delivery section. But researchers believe that smaller infant size is often induced due to smoking.

The study says that “smoking might contribute less bleeding during delivery and less requirement for the cesarian delivery sections”

Researchers say that “this study advice many pregnant women that do not smoke”. But the fact reveals that smoking gradually decreases the pregnancy risk as this doesn’t mean that all pregnant women can start smoking.

In some cases, study helps to find the substantial risks during a small baby delivery are having very serious consequences within longer terms for the sake of infant health.

Researchers say that some babies are born with low birth weight which can often increase the diabetic rate among children at a very small age. Not only diabetes they may also develop with kidney failure, specific cancers later, and heart diseases.

On a concluding note, the study states that in childhood, infants should be considered who were born too small and are experienced increased risks with urinary disorders, adverse neurological outcomes, lung problems, and intestinal disorders. Pregnant women can reduce all the smoking risks by quitting.
