Jen is 'nervous and worried' about bushfire smoke's impact on her unborn baby's health

Like many expectant mothers, Jen Spears is anxious about the impending arrival.

"I'm just really nervous and worried that once I get this baby out, that's not the last of it," she said.She's not alone in being worried. We've had, unfortunately, three late pregnancy losses, three stillbirths in the early half of the year," he said. "It's the sort of placenta you'll see in mothers who smoke basically — and that was occurring in women who didn't smoke," he said.

Jen and the local obstetricians are right to be concerned about the impacts of bushfire smoke & PM2.5 on her pregnancy. Domestic wood heaters are also a major concern right now during winter - & hazard reduction burns between seasons. cleanair dsawsp

Wood fire smoke and bush fire smoke causes toxic high levels of pm2.5 which does have adverse health outcomes. Worried is understandable considering 7 million people die a year just from pollution alone. But people will always remain uneducated by choice looking at comments

I would be more worried if the baby thinks like her

She's really gonna hate the bushfire season.

Ita. Please. Enough with the Take 5 headlines.

Our wood burning ancestors would be laughing at this click bait.

I am nervous about what riduculous and huge ‘hazard reduction burns’ the cowboys of the NSWRFS have planned for metro Sydney. They can’t go on polluting this already polluted big city. NSWRFS don’t burn in metro Sydney. Find another way!

Her hysteria probably has an adverse impact. At least she stopped dying her hair.

Bushfire smoke? I’d be more worried about these bloody domestic urban wood fireplaces..! Filthy, disgusting polluting things they are..! SHOULD BE BANNED!

Only 2 generations ago, women cooked over hot smoky wood stoves

So stay out of the smoke.

That’s right bushfires are something new in Australia 🤪

Pathetic

Best to get into the wine and meth so you know the bushfire smoke didnt cause any problems

Listen, Karen. Chill. You were probably careful enough. 🤷‍♂️

Wood fire smoke is a carcinogen, so unfortunately the answer is most likely yes

Evidence is mounting from Italy, the UK and elsewhere that higher levels of air pollution result in more hospitalisations and deaths during coronavirus outbreaks. The residual impact from bushfire smoke earlier in the year could mean Australians are more vulnerable.

The number of disasters FEMA is handling is twice what it was three years ago, before Harvey struck Texas, and that doesn’t include pandemic response: disaster preparation and recovery have blurred into a single frenzy, never ending but also never quite succeeding. nytimes

“Now, I don't know whether that's a random thing that's occurred or whether any of those adverse outcomes were associated with the bushfire disaster.' So really there’s no story here?
