The aim of the research was to investigate the extent and distribution of three specific health behaviours among mothers in the prenatal and antenatal period.

The three specific areas they looked at were:

  • Cigarette smoking in pregnancy
  • Alcohol consumption in pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding

It found that 13% of women smoked all the way through pregnancy, even though smoking more than 11 cigarettes a day decreases a baby’s birth weight.

The study also found that compared to women in Britain, Irish women were significantly less likely to report drinking during pregnancy.

Most intelligent people know that smoking causes cancer, heart disease, and other major health problems. Smoking during pregnancy is especially harmful, causing additional health problems including premature birth, certain birth defects, and infant death.

Here are some facts about smoking and pregnancy:

  • Smoking makes it harder for a woman to get pregnant.
  • Women who smoke during pregnancy, are more likely than other women to have a miscarriage.
  • Smoking can cause problems with the placenta—the source of the baby’s food and oxygen during pregnancy. For example, the placenta can separate from the womb too early, causing bleeding, which is dangerous to the mother and baby.
  • Smoking during pregnancy can cause a baby to be born too early or to have low birth weight—making it more likely the baby will be sick and have to stay in the hospital longer. A few babies may even die.
  • Smoking during and after pregnancy is a risk factor of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). SIDS is an infant death for which a cause of the death cannot be found.
  • Babies born to women who smoke are more likely to have certain birth defects, like a cleft lip or cleft palate.
  • There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke. Breathing even a little secondhand smoke can be harmful. The only way to fully protect yourself and your loved ones from the dangers of other people’s smoke is through 100% smoke-free environments.
  • Quitting smoking will help you feel better and provide a healthier environment for your baby.
