Answer 3

YES it does because cigarettes can get passed the plancenta's barrier and your placenta does change color because the alimentaion process of the baby is distorted.It causes also other damges to the baby that is why it is highly not recommended for mother to not smoke.The cigarette companies might not tell people about this fact but in a single CIGGARETTE THERE ARE ABOUT 350 PRODUCTS THAT ARE HARMFUL TO YOU .So do not think only Nicotin can hurt you.If it does not go well with adults with babies or fetuses it is worst by 100 times. Imagine what you are doing with your unborn child everytime you smoke.

Answer 4

Well i have to say yes smoking causes your placenta to be black after birth I had my first child in 1986 and my doctor took photos of how jet black it was I did not know I was pregnant for the first three months of pregnancy I had my regular periods and was on birth control but to say the least my first born was on a incubator for less then 24 hours but the placenta was charcoal black and they said it was from smoking so I agree it does have something to do with it

Answer 5

What smoking does during pregnancy is make holes in your placenta and the baby does not get the food that is required. This is why they say low birth weight and they can be born with asthma as well. Try to quit. I could not but I did cut down to almost nothing at the end

Answer 6

nope, mine was red...and it MAY lead to low-birthweight, it MAY lead to sids, it MAY lead to your baby being born unhealthy, and it MAY cause you to go in labor early. Just because it something may happen doesn't mean it always will. You really should try to stop smoking or at least cut down.I was unable to quit smoking during my pregnancies. My babies were 6lbs9.5oz and 7lbs2.5 oz....both had a 9 on their apagar score. Both are healthy...only thing that had nothing to do with smoking...with my first, I had toxemia. With my second, I have placenta previa. The placenta problems with my second had nothing to do with smoking. It occurred because I had my girls so close together and didnt give my body enough time to heal. They're 51 weeks apart

Answer 7

They can tell by your placenta if any type of drugs was taking cause it wouldn't be a healthy placenta.

I smoked through out my entire pregnancy and my child was born healthly and he still is.

Answer 8

SMOKING CAUSES PLACENTAL AGEING
~the placenta gets mature faster and then calcifies white gritty deposits
~the flow of oxygen to the baby is slower thus their growth is down
~there is also a link to developmental delay and ADHDin children associated smoking in pregnancy
~your child gets a nicotene fix when you do and thus will withdraw and be agitated after birth

YOUR CHOICE....................

Answer 9

no it does not... the smoke is not flowing through your body anywhere but to your lungs and then through your blood stream... by that point it is not discoloring anything other then your lungs... but it is best to stop smoking cigarettes and anything else during this time... you are putting the baby at a lot of risks during the pregnancy and also later in life... you should really read up about it.

Answer 10

Not as far as I know, but smoking does cause a certain amount of harm to the baby. Now look, I am a smoker myself and I know how tired we are of hearing that... but we still have to say it. Smoking provides the increased risk to your baby that he/she will be born underweight and has also been linked with cot deaths, however actual evidence that smoking causes cot death is still lacking.

Answer 11

Sigh...did you read the side of the carton? It causes cancer for god sakes. By smoking you're increasing the chances of early labor and extremely low birth weight...wanna know why? Smoking damages the placenta so you're child doesn't get adequate nutrition. YOU'RE STARVING YOUR CHILD!!!! hope the buzz is worth it...
