Question

which are consequences of smoking while pregnant? select three options.
sids
stillbirth
painful delivery
birth defects
large birth weight

Explanation:

• SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome): Smoking during pregnancy increases the risk of SIDS as it affects the infant's respiratory and overall health.
• Stillbirth: Tobacco use in pregnancy can lead to stillbirth due to complications in fetal development and placental issues.
• Birth defects: Chemicals in smoke can disrupt fetal development, causing structural or functional birth defects.
• "Painful delivery" is not directly linked to smoking in pregnancy, and smoking is associated with low (not large) birth weight, so those are excluded.

Answer:

A. SIDS, B. stillbirth, D. birth defects
