Asphyxia-related causes accounted for 34% of stillbirths, with 63% of
asphyxia deaths classified as abruptio placentae. These toxic substances in the
mother and fetus explain the increase in premature births and
spontaneous abortions, abruptio placentas, and fetal and neonatal deaths
observed in smoking mothers. Although there is no direct

preeclampsia, fetal malformations, and subnormal infant development. |
