Why is it important to quit smoking during pregnancy? 

Smoking during pregnancy reduces the amount of oxygen and nutrients your baby receives, which can impact their growth and development. It increases the risk of complications such as:

  • Premature birth.
  • Low birth weight.
  • Miscarriage or stillbirth.
  • Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

Quitting at any stage of pregnancy improves the outcome for both you and your baby. The sooner you stop, the better—but it’s never too late to make a positive change and Help Me Quit is here to support you every step of the way!
