What are the hazards of pregnant women staying in a smoking environment for a long time to the fetus

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often get lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Please ask, what are the harms of a pregnant woman staying in a smoking environment for a long time to the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if a pregnant woman is exposed to severe secondhand smoke for a long time, it may lead to the possibility of fetal malformations. It's not just pregnant women; it can also affect the health of normal people. Therefore, in your case, it's best to stay away from such an environment, otherwise it may hinder fetal development. Progesterone is a pregnancy hormone that helps maintain pregnancy. Low progesterone levels can easily trigger miscarriage. Your ultrasound results indicate that the embryo is alive, and the low progesterone level could be due to luteal phase deficiency of the ovary. It is recommended to rest in bed and receive progesterone injections to continue with the treatment for maintaining the pregnancy.
