Maternal diet, anemia, smoking, and substance abuse can negatively impact the health of the unborn child. Smoking during pregnancy increases risks of miscarriage, placental abruption, placenta previa, preterm birth, and low birth weight. An abnormal uterine blood flow also increases risks, such as eclampsia. A variety of factors influence the development of the unborn child's immune system and overall health.

Smoking also can affect the lining of the uterus, making it difficult for a fertilized egg to implant. B. Placental abruption Placental abruption is when the placenta separates early from the uterus, in other words separates before childbirth. It occurs most commonly around 25 weeks of pregnancy. Symptoms may include vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain, and dangerously low blood pressure. C.

These poisons get into the placenta, which is the tissue that connects you to your baby and sends oxygen and nutrients and eliminates wastes. These poisons keep your baby from getting the proper supply of nutrients and oxygen that he or she needs to grow. • Uterine blood flow A pregnant woman experiencing an abnormal uterine blood flow has a high risk for eclampsia.
