Pregnant 'Housewives of Atlanta', Kim Zolciak caught smoking

Pregnant 'Housewives of Atlanta', Kim Zolciak was caught smoking cigarettes during a football game, a few weeks ago. Zolciak announced she was 3 months pregnant with her boyfriend, Kroy Biermann. At the time the photo was taken, Kim knew she was pregnant. In early October she even denied rumors of her being pregnant. She was still in her first trimester. (Hollywood News)

Kim Zolciak should not be smoking cigarettes while she is pregnant. One can only guess that if she is smoking cigarettes, she is probably drinking socially as well. Drinking and smoking can seriously harm the baby. When you smoke during your pregnancy, the baby is exposed to dangerous chemicals like nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar. It lessons the oxygen your baby receives. Oxygen is very important to your baby. (marchofdimes.com)

Some of the side effects of smoking during pregnancy are an ectopic pregnancy, vaginal bleeding, placental abruption, placenta previa and stillbirth. Even with all of these negative effects, women are still smoking while pregnant. Women who smoke during pregnancy tend to have their babies prematurely. Premature babies are at high risk for having serious health problems as they continue to grow. Some problems could be lifelong disabilities, learning problems, cerebral pulsy and sometimes retardation, even death.

One would think the reality star of "Real Housewives of Atlanta" would be more careful. Maybe Kim Zolciak isn't taking her pregnancy serious enough. Who in their right mind would smoke while they are pregnant? Only a selfish woman who has no respect for herself or her baby would smoke during this time. Knowingly putting your baby's health and your own at risk, just goes to show how selfish one can be.
