The risks of smoking during pregnancy

Let's face it, smoking can have a big impact on your pregnancy and your child's development.


During pregnancy, smoking can lead to:


  • Ectopic pregnancy or premature delivery
  • Spontaneous miscarriage
  • Placental abruption
  • Your baby's weight being too low.


After birth, smoking may increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).


You are not alone! Get help to quit smoking.

Need to get this off my chest because I'm seeing it everywhere in almost every group I follow. STOP RECOMMENDING SMOKING WEED TO PREGNANT WOMEN. It's dangerous, and KNOWN risk factor for complications. Regardless of your opinion or weed-smoking status, this is NOT recommended, and we need to be intentional about doing what's BEST for our babies. The womb should be the SAFEST place on earth for a baby. #rantover #stopsmokingwhilepregnant
