What are the consequences for pregnant women when they smell smoke?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What are the consequences if a pregnant woman smells cigarette smoke?

Doctor's answer:

It's best not to smoke secondhand smoke anymore. It's recommended that you have prenatal check-ups during your pregnancy. Every 4 weeks for the first 36 weeks, and then once a week after 36 weeks. Pay attention to nutrition during pregnancy. Supplement folic acid in the first 3 months, and start taking calcium, iron, and other essential trace elements from the 4th month. This is because the baby also needs nutrition. "Eat for two" is important, but you shouldn't overeat each time! It's better to eat small, frequent meals and ensure a balanced diet. Avoid frozen foods, cold drinks, and stimulating beverages!
