How to detox from smoking during pregnancy?
Patient: I am 33 weeks pregnant and was smoking up until two days ago and haven't took a hit since.for the past 2 months all I drink is water and eat ice no Soda or juice.i think I might be in labor will it show up in the baby's system and if so what can I do to clean the baby's system and how long does it stay in the baby system Doctor: Hi,  Thanks  for the query. I understand your concern. Smoking has it's dizards in firm of allergy/respiratory disfunction in form of  bronchitis  providing less oxygen & less provision for energy needed for fetal rearing. Baby is likely to  have less birth weight &less resistance.    But as you have left smoking now...baby will get better energy  for rest of weeks (about 5-6 weeks) & will recover to some extent from the damage. -It will also help you in giving birth .. the delivery . To make up the loss you should have nnourishing diet with proteins (milk,pulses,non veg food except for liver)/vitmines&minerals  (plenty of salads,fruits .    Take B complex,vitamin Esuppliments along with routine calcium &iron .      Do not ever try yo smoke again... not while the baby iß by your side,for  the indirect inhalation of dmoke would dsmage babies respiration .    Take care   thanks.
