Blog: Study says secondhand smoke bad for unborn babies
Pregnant women exposed to second hand smoke have a higher rate of having stillborn children and children born with major birth defects. Researchers in Great Britain looked at 19 previously done studies, and found that the risk of a stillbirth increased 23% in pregnant women exposed to second hand smoke, and the risk of major birth defects increased 13% compared to pregnant, nonsmoking women not exposed to second hand smoke.By: AreaVoices.com blog, INFORUM
