According to the hypothesis of this study presented, the effects of smoking on the fetus can be determined by the liver circulation and hepatic metabolism. The basic assumption of this project is; Compensatory and pathological findings can be seen in the fetal liver circulation in babies of mothers who smoke and the findings can be valuable in predicting the direction of fetal development (growth retardation or normal development). In this study, the flow and shunt amounts in the fetal hepatic vessels in normal and smoking pregnant women will be calculated with the help of Doppler US.
