Cocaine use during pregnancy is associated with maternal migraines and seizures,
premature membrane rupture, and separation of the placental lining from the uterus
prior to delivery. Pregnancy is accompanied by normal cardiovascular changes, and
cocaine use exacerbates these—sometimes leading to serious problems with high
blood pressure (hypertensive crises), spontaneous miscarriage, preterm labor, and
difficult delivery. Cocaine-using pregnant women must receive appropriate medical
and psychological care—including addiction treatment—to reduce these risks.

Describe the effects of cocaine use during pregnancy. Why is it difficult to
know which developmental problems are definitely due to a mother's use
of cocaine during pregnancy?

, What are the characteristics of sleep in infancy (i.e., duration, type)?
Is there major dev. Differences across cultures.
Some researchers believe that it is generalized while some believe that it is different
among cultures.
Is there only one developmental path or many?
In some cultures infants will walk sooner than others- very different dev. paths.

The research on smoking and pregnancy
prenatal exposure-
low birth weight, learning disabilities, respiratory problems and SIDS.
What about e-cigarettes?
Similar to cigarettes.
Contain nicotine and other chemicals (flavoring)
Perceived as safe so used more
Not well regulated (nicotine level may be higher)

From fertilization to formation of the zygote until the tiny mass of cells drifts down
