Smoking and Pregnancy
You know smoking isn’t good for you. Now that you are pregnant or are considering becoming pregnant, the risk are even higher. Smoking can cause reproductive problems before a woman even becomes pregnant. Studies show that women who smoke may have more trouble conceiving than non-smokers. Studies suggest that fertility returns to normal after a woman stops smoking.
We know that the woman who smokes during her pregnancy has a baby who gets less food and oxygen than a non-smoking pregnant women. We know that certain risk factors increase for these women.
Some risk factors include:
- You’re more likely to have a miscarriage.
- Your baby is more likely to die before birth.
- Smoking can cause placenta previa (placenta covers the cervix which means c-section).
- It can cause a placental abruption (placenta separates from the wall of the uterus).
- It increases your risk of a pre-term birth.
- Pre-term births suffer more breathing problems and have long hospital stays.
- Increases the chances having learning difficulties as baby grows.
- Higher incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS or crib death).
- Babies have more genetic defects when exposed to second hand smoke in the womb.
- Pre-term labor or premature rupture of the membranes.
- If you smoke your baby is more likely to have colic.
Hypnosis Stop Smoking Research
Hypnosis is one of the most effective approaches to STOP SMOKING. It has been used successfully to release the desire to smoke, remove the nicotine craving, and create healthier habits and much more.
Tens of thousands of people across the country have quit smoking using hypnosis. The television program 20/20 reported "Hypnosis to quit smoking has the highest rate of success of any method! Most people report no withdrawal symptoms."
An examination of multiple research studies show that a single session hypnosis treatment to stop smoking produced about a 25% success rate, whereas about 66% of those engaging in at least 4-5 sessions of hypnosis quit smoking and stayed non-smokers after a 6-12 month period. (Hammond, D.C. (1990). Handbook of hypnotic suggestions and metaphors. New York: W. W. Norton.)
A new study presented October 22, 2007 at the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians found that hypnosis was more than twice as effective as quitting "cold turkey," and over three times as effective as nicotine replacement therapy. The study compared four smoking cessation programs used by former hospital patients who were motivated to quit. 50% of patients using hypnosis quit successfully after only one hypnosis session with recorded sessions for follow-up, while only 15.78% of those using nicotine replacement quit successfully.
Success rates were measured at 26 weeks. Dr. Faysal Hasan, one of the authors of the study, said,"Our results showed that hypnotherapy resulted in higher quit rates compared with NRT alone. Hypnotherapy appears to be quite effective and a good modality to incorporate into a smoking cessation program after hospital discharge." (Hasan, Faysal, et. al. "Hypnotherapy as an Aid to Smoking Cessation of Hospitalized patients: Preliminary Results." Presented October 22, 2007 at CHEST 2007, the annual meeting of the American College of Chest Physicians.)
