* Discolored nails: Diabetes, stress, allergies and simple illness can cause your nails to appear discolored.

* A greenish nail color, however, can be a sign of infection, either in the nail bed or in your system.

* Bluish nail beds can be a sign of lung problems. This could be emphysema or even asthma (asthma doesn't usually show up in the nails). It can also be a sign of poor circulation. A simple dark blue line in the nail can be a sign of skin cancer.

* Tiny black streaks can indicate a heart problem.

* Reddish-brown spots can indicate a deficiency of folic acid, protein or Vitamin C. * Yellowing nails are early signals of various internal disorders, such as diabetes, respiratory or liver problems.

* White lines in or across the nail can signal general sickness, fever, liver or heart disease, some kidney disorders or, more likely; a lack of iron or zinc in your diet.

The scary answer is: we don't know. Every packet of synthetic marijuana is different, but they all contain powerful chemicals that can harm the mother and the baby. Remember, anything you are taking, your baby is taking too.

There also might be the possibility of loosing the baby if you do synthetic weed because fake weed has a purgative effect (it makes you barf a lot). Purgatives (things that make you barf and/or eliminate a lot) can cause spontaneous abortion or premature birth.

There are random birth defects as well as those that are caused by something the mother and even father did before birth. In other words, something that happened during the pregnancy. Remember that the first few weeks are extremely important, and often that is the time where the woman does not even know if she is pregnant yet. A heart is beating by the time she finds out!

Obviously, alcohol and smoking anything can have adverse affects such as fetal alcohol syndrome. But our society and media, bought by the large pharmaceutical companies, keeps most women in the dark about how steroids (aka "birth control") also cause countless birth defects in the first few weeks of pregnancy - especially to male babies in utero..

: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7333 : This is the reason that prostate cancer rates have skyrocketed since the pill arrived in 1960. A deformed prostate is not visible at birth, but can still cause prostate cancer in men decades later. these are the fact the the big pharmaceutical companies are desperate to keep women from knowing. They also don't want you to know about the decimated and deformed male fish populations downstream of water treatment plants due to even microscopic amounts of female steroids. : So, steroids like the pill, patches, IUD, and ring can give you breast cancer and your male child prostate cancer - even if you get off them as soon as you know you're pregnant. The sad fact is, it is often too late. The damage has already been done. : http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/112/1/73

A huge second source of birth defects are all the premature births needlessly caused because of a woman's previous abortion:

And, naturally, children born to early due his or her mother's compromised cervix and/or damaged uterus suffer from any number of birth defects as a result - the most common apparently being cerebral palsy.

These are the facts that big pharma and planned parenthood are doing their level best to keep everyone in the dark about, since these facts would not be good for their profits.
