Pregnancy – smoking can encourage behavioural problems

[22 April 2009 - 10h43]

Smoking during pregnancy is bad for the mother but it’s also bad for the baby.

It puts the unborn child at risk of developing various behavioural problems such aggressiveness and hyperactivity. The more a mother-to-be smokes, the greater the risks involved.

Child psychiatrist Marie-Hélène Le Heuzey of the Robert Debré Hospital in Paris believes that “behavioural problems can be encouraged by a number of factors: low birth weight, prematurity, maternal alcoholism …” And smoking makes the foetus more vulnerable, although this vulnerability is only manifested if other conditions are also present. In other words, smoking constitutes a disadvantageous factor.
