Smoking is extremely harmful for your health. In pregnancy, the harm increases in ten times as the nicotine reaches the baby through the placenta.

The following problems can be caused by smoking:
• Miscarriage
• Stillbirth
• Placental abruption
• Preeclampsia
• Sudden infant death
• Childhood cancers
• Behavioral problems

There is absolutely no safe number of cigarettes that you can smoke. Even passive smoking, or the inhalation of smoke from active smokers around you, is just as dangerous.

If you smoke before getting pregnant, now is the best time to quit. It may be difficult, but think about all the dangers you can pass on to your baby. So try to quit as soon as you can, help your baby to be healthy!
