[Tobacco and pregnancy. Weight of the newborn infant and weight gain of the mother].
865 patients delivered at women's clinic "La Paz" have been examined, to prove the hypothesis, that the weight of the newborn may be influenced by smoking indirectly via nutrition. 276 of the 865 women did smoke. In this group the weight of the newborns was lower significantly. If we select both groups of smoking and nonsmoking patients appropriate to the weight increase during pregnancy above or below the average value, we can state that those fetuses had a intrauterine growth retardation whose mothers did smoke and had a lower weight increase than the average value of all pregnant women.
