Breathing in Wood Smoke While Pregnant Studies have shown that exposure to wood smoke is not safe for pregnant women and their unborn babies This is largely because the smoke contains airborne lead, which can be ingested through breathing. Lead exposure during pregnancy is associated with children who have lower intelligence levels and more violent behavior. It can also lead to hypertension and toxemia during pregnancy.

It is important to note, however, that most of the research studied families in economically challenged parts of the world. The families still rely on wood burning stoves for cooking and heat. It is unknown how much effect a simple campfire could have on a fetus or its mother. You probably don’t have to avoid camping during pregnancy, but if you are still concerned about breathing in wood smoke you can try to stand away from the direction the smoke is blowing. And by all means, talk it over with your doctor.
