Avatar m tn There are other vices, as well, that can affect sperm count, besides alcohol. Smoking tobacco is thought not only to decrease the quality of a woman’s eggs, but it is thought to reduce a man’s sperm count. Illicit drugs like cocaine, as well, have been demonstrated to affect sperm count. Marijuana tends to have a similar affect on sperm count, and is also likely to cause a man to have more abnormal sperm.

796455 tn?1325858257 Although there are RUMORS that it affects male fertility, there has been NOTHING to prove that it affects female. (and lets be honest, they also say Mt Dew effects male fertility). Pot DOES NOT affect a baby! There are RUMORS that state that the baby may be "low birth weight" because they are being "deprived of oxygen" and yet there are so many more issues with mothers who smoke cigarettes while pregnant.

Avatar m tn My mom smoked with me and I was 4 weeks early, have asthma, chronic ear infections, and weighed less than 5lbs. I actually did a research paper on the affects of smoking and pregnancy and while some babies may experience minimal affects or some moms might "think" their babies are completely healthy; what they don't realize is that the asthma or allergies their child has is related to smoking while pregnant.

Avatar f tn Hi, I know a woman's weight affects her fertility, but what about the man? My husband is about 25-30 lbs overweight, and just recently started exercising. When he becomes a healthy weight, will that increases our chances of having a baby? Thanks!
Avatar f tn I have a friend who recently found out she is pregnant. She is a heavy smoker. And is finding it impossible to quit. I was a smoker before i got pregnant, but didn't have a hard time quitting so i really don't know how to help her. Can anyone share some tips on how you quit smoking? And maybe some stories of babies who had a smoking mother, she seems to think it won't hurt the baby because so many people claim to have smoked the entire time and had healthy babies.
Avatar f tn s what I thought, plus the affects of smoking while pregnant seem to be way worse than the withdrawals to me..
