If i stop smoking by the 6 month of my pregnancy is the baby going to be deformed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great choice: The primary effect of your smoking during pregnancy is in decreasing babies size at birth, not causing deformities. The delicate blood vessels of the placenta can shrink some from nicotine & provide less nutrition to baby over all. By stopping, the placenta may become more effective & be ready for the stress of labor. Quitting will have great benefits for you and baby so good luck.
