“…According to the Pol-PrAMS study, women not only do not comply with the expert recommendations regarding PA during pregnancy, but also frequently engage in risky behaviours. As many as 1 in 10 women admit to smoking in pregnancy and some to alcohol consumption [21,22,23].…”

Introduction. Adverse pregnancy outcomes are less common among physically active women, and children born to such mothers are less likely to be at risk for macrosomia, obesity and metabolic diseases in the future. Objectives. The aims of the study were to establish physical activity (PA) patterns among pregnant women in the third trimester, and to determine the attitudes of prenatal care providers to maternal PA during pregnancy. Materials and method. The study was conducted in 2017 using surveys from the Polish Pregnancy-related Assessment Monitoring System program (Pol-PrAMS). The study included 3,451 postpartum women. The Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire was used to investigate their PA. This part of Pol-PrAMS study was completed by 2,744 postpartum women who were subjected to statistical analysis. Results. Sedentary or light physical activity comprised 75% of the overall PA in the third trimester of pregnancy (mean values of energy expenditure: 67 and 93.3 MET-h/week, respectively). Household or caregiving activities accounted for almost 50% of all activities and were the most common PA types (mean energy expenditure: 105 MET-h/week). Restriction of PA in pregnancy was reported by over 60% of the women, most often due to concerns over proper foetal development. Over 85% of prenatal care providers either did not address the issue of PA with the future mothers at all, or recommended PA restriction. Conclusions. Sedentary and light-intensity PA are the two predominant types of physical activity in the third trimester. The most energy-consuming tasks involve household and caregiving activities. Restriction of activity was reported by the majority of the respondents. Prenatal care providers either did not address the matter of PA in pregnancy or recommended PA restriction.

Introduction: Smoking during pregnancy is a risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Data on the correlation between passive maternal smoking and pregnancy outcomes remain limited. We investigated the effect of active smoking and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) during pregnancy on neonatal birthweight, including the risk for low birthweight (LBW). Material and methods: The study was conducted between 2010 and 2012. A group of 8625 women were surveyed during postpartum hospitalization. Outcome measures included mean birthweight of newborns. Additionally, odds ratios with confidence intervals were calculated to investigate the risk for LBW in active and passive smoking groups of mothers. Results: Lower birthweight (46 g-307 g; p < 0.05) and a higher risk for LBW (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.05-1.75; p < 0.05) were observed in all infants born to smoking mothers. A negative effect of ETS in pregnancy on the reduction of mean birthweight was also found. Additionally, we analyzed the cumulative effect of active and passive smoking on neonatal birthweight. A statistically significant reduction in neonatal weight at birth was found in a group of women who smoked actively and passively during pregnancy (130 g; p < 0.05). Conclusions: Smoking is associated with decreased birthweight and in a group of active smoking mothers increased risk for LBW. This effect is dose-dependent and is also present in a group of women who smoked before pregnancy. There is also a cumulative effect of active smoking and ETS causing decreased neonatal birthweight and increased risk for low birthweight.

“…Epidemiological studies have shown that maternal smoking (active and passive) is associated with a number of adverse effects during pregnancy [6,7]. Smoking increases the risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, prematurity, low birthweight, perinatal morbidity and mortality, neonatal or sudden infant death, asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning difficulties, obesity, and diabetes [8] as well as birth deformities [9].…”

“…It also seems that conditions are conducive for a further decline in smoking among pregnant women. Research conducted by Wojtyła et al indicates that the knowledge of women in Poland about smoking in pregnancy and its risk is very high, and compares favourably to knowledge about the adverse effects of drinking alcohol during pregnancy [6].…”

Smoking during pregnancy is one of the most dangerous health behaviours. Historically, smoking during pregnancy in European countries was common. At the end of 20 th century in many European countries, including Poland, around 20-40% of children were born after 9 month exposure to toxic factors of tobacco smoke. In the last decades prevalence of smoking among women has declined substantially. In 2015, the overall smoking prevalence among women in the WHO European region was 19.1%, while among pregnant women it was 5.9%. Female smoking rates in Asia contrast sharply with Europe. In the WHO Western Pacific region only 1.1% of women, and only 0.9% of pregnant women, are smokers. In 2017 in Poland around 23 thousand children were born to mothers smoking during pregnancy. Therefore, the Health Promotion Foundation, in collaboration with MSD Foundation for Women's Health, undertook the initiative to help Polish women quit smoking using new technologies. A mobile app called "Give it up!" has been created. This Polish-language app is designed for young women, especially those who are expecting a baby or thinking about motherhood. This publication presents the programme rationale and app description.
